"The natural hair community has been significantly growing over the past five years. Women are increasingly abandoning the ritual of chemically straightening their hair and adopting natural methods and styles. According to the Mintel, a consumer spending and market research firm, the number of Black women who do not use products to chemically relax or straighten their hair jumped to 36% in 2011, up from 26% in 2010. Meanwhile, sales of relaxer kits dropped by 17% between 2006 and 2011, according to the same report."
