I Love My Hair
Yesterday, I couldn't believe the negative response I received from a relative about my short natural hair. It takes a lot of restraint and desire to find opportunity in such negativity. I chose to document my reaction in audio and video.
When I first started my natural hair journey, I kept a picture file of natural hair inspirations. It later progressed from Fotki photobooks to Youtube to Tumblr blogs. I hope to educate my relative on the versatility and options with natural hair.
It was funny how your relative came at you. But I know it's not funny.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first went natural, I'll never forget my dad saying, "Aren't you going to fix your hair?" I looked at him and said, "It's already fixed." After that he never said another word about my hair.
I love the quote you shared by Lisa Akbari.
Take care,
Evelyn
Evelyn, I credited the stimulant mix castor/PPO for growth when I began to transition. But, I've seen growth stimulant methods get out of control. I agree. Simplicity is the key. It's easier to track mistakes and successes.
