It's obvious from context I'm referring to the latter
Which shows you don't know what the flying fuck you're talking about.
Every other poster in this thread inherently understood the context of the topic (hint: no one else in this thread has said never to use anything synthetic, because that's not what "natural hair" means in the context of discussing black hair. Are you upset over the title?
Really?) and has engaged in good faith posting regarding their own personal experiences and product recommendations.
It's also obvious from this and
many other contexts across this forum that you are
only here just to argue a pedantic point not
only because you thought you found a logical fallacy, but because it was of the upmost importance that you let us all know you found one, not because the subject actually has any meaningful real-world value for you. Fuck the damage that me and other black folks have inadvertently done to our hair and health.
That's not important. What you found most important was the (wrong) presumption that we're all a bunch of hippies who shun chemicals and you just had to let us know how wrong we were.
So congratulations to you Boiled Goose. You did it; you successfully initiated a derail and have gotten me beside myself that I'm having to explain to a non-black person what the fuck "natural" means.
Thank your lucky stars it is not February.
