Natural Hair & The Big Chop: Negative Reactions

"If we don't get to know our hair we can't love it or appreciate it."

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.
