Solange Knowles Says It's TOUGH Dealing With NATURAL HAIR ISSUES

In the latest issue of LURVE Magazine, Solange Knowles discusses how hair has become so political and its hard to speak about it. Get the deets inside....

In the latest issue of LURVE Magazine, Solange Knowles dishes is up on hair and fashion while laughing at the notion she is a fashionista.  “Look at my fashion choices back in the day. You know how people say ‘Who let her walk out the house that way?’ or ‘She needs more people!’”

She later "figured" it out and took her fashions to the next level.  "Once I really defined my expectations in terms of how to navigate through the fashion world without getting myself too invested, I’ve had a hell of a lot of fun."

Solange has admitted several times that she is not as into "hair" as some people are and she did not know a lot about her own hair texture.  She said, “I’m actually really trying to navigate my feelings on the entire hair issue and it’s tough doing that publicly."

“I really, truly was not even aware that there was a natural hair system in place to measure the texture of your hair. At that point I thought to myself, ‘This is really crazy. That these people know more about my hair than the human that even carries it!’ I went to my Twitter and sort of impulsively expressed that. I don’t regret it one bit, but sometimes trying to put how you feel in an one-hundred forty character structure is not really successful.”


You have to love Solange for speaking her mind!

Solange was spotted arriving at Club 40/40 for a fundraiser for President Obama hosted By Jay-Z And Beyonce on Tuesday.

Yes honey I have natural hair

Yes honey I have natural hair too and I had people asking if my hair is 4A or 4B? I didn't understand what the heck they were talking about at first, but later explained there is an actual hair texture grade system. What is the point of getting rid of a perm to have yourself defined by another system to make you feel less or further separate by something so pointless as hair?! No thank you.

"The message that the way we

"The message that the way we wear our hair is a personal choice, there’s no right or wrong way.” - Solange Knowles She summed up my thoughts EXACTLY! I started wearing my hair natural earlier this year. It cut it down almost to the scalp. Before that, I used to wear a wig or a cap on my head because I was ashamed of the naps. Not anymore; however, I am so sick of the "I went natural and my world changed" crap. Maybe it did, but if your life changed that much because of your hair, then... It's HAIR for crying out loud. No one tells white women they shouldn't dye their hair blond. Everyone's allowed to be who they want except black women, and I, for one, am sick of us being put under a microscope every dang day. If it's not about our hair, it's about our sex life, our weight, our this, our that. LIVE AND LET LIVE!

Solo is such a fucking brat.

Solo is such a fucking brat. A stylish one, but none the less a brat. Didn't she understand that Carol's Daughter is fucking business and understand the nature of that said business? She should stop acting brand new and do her damn job. It's not that deep.

I did the Big Chop and I

I did the Big Chop and I don't regret it. My hair grew like crazy especially chemical free. I don't know anyone that wants to wear a perm or weaves. Its all about personal choice but don't sit on here and tell women what they don't need to do about their own hair. If you have issues with the natural hair community just say that but don't try to sway others to not do something that you don't like.

On the flip side, I'm sick of women who are au natural, hating on me because my hair is natural too...naturally curly which I choose to flat iron straight, but because it's not nappy natural it's not genuine? GTFOH.

I sure wish she had worn a longer skirt for a Presidential function. When she sat down I sure hope she used the tablecloth to hide all her business.

I'm trying to understand this

I'm trying to understand this girl. I really want to but I just can't. I need someone to explain to me why we should care about her. If you have to use somebody else's name to describe yourself (i.e. Oprah's best friend Gayle, Brandy's brother Ray J, Oprah's boyfriend Steadman, Beyonce's sister Solange), YOU are NOT relevant. The person whose name proceeds yours is.

I wish Black women (in

I wish Black women (in particular) would lay the "natural" hair debate to rest and just DO YOU. Don't feel guilted into doing a "Big Chop" and don't feel especially empowered just because you wear a Twist Out. It's only hair. Like Solange said, "There's no right or wrong way." Period.

LURVE magazine??? ANYWAY, it

LURVE magazine??? ANYWAY, it must be DIFFICULT for Solange to find her OWN path in life when her sister is so damn PHENOMENAL! Poor SO-LONG, she doesn't have a clue what to do in life but to kiss her sister a$$ and occasionally "MODEL" in "up-and-coming" magazines!

I despite her overly entitled ass. Does she realize the only reason she got the Carol's Daughter endorsement to begin with is because she's Beyonce lil sis???

As it should be, better her,

As it should be, better her, then solange laying on her back to get it, geesh!! who cares how she got it!! like they say, "sometimes its not what you know, its who you know" sad but very true, we all can't get EVERY where by our selves, and we cant help who we know and who we are related too!!

What does this girl do

What does this girl do besides wear mismatched clothing? She needs to shit or get off the pot because this whole Florida Evans thing she got going on is not gonna keep her in the spotlight for much longer.

I would say what I do, but I don't want your crazy ass stalking me. What is it that you do besides defend someone you don't know? Have a seat!!!!

If Beyonce was my sister I

If Beyonce was my sister I would be doing the same thing....lol. Bey has the singing market on lock so its either Solange become a "socialite/personality", start wilding out or become a recluse. She's young, she's rich and she's chillin.
