Over the past four years I have learned to love my hair, and in doing so, I have learned to love me. There have been times when I really disliked the way my hair looked. Not because it was ugly. Because I couldn't get it to do what I wanted to do with my hair. It wouldn't get super straight, or as thin as some of my friends. It would get so frizzy when wet, I didn't like being caught in the rain.
Going to the pool or beach required prep time of moisturizing and conditioning before exposure to the elements. Oh sometimes there are times when I want to go grab a relaxer, however, I know that I won't ever, ever resort to that again.
There are also times when I get "the look" from people who look perplexed at my hair. You would be surprise that this sometimes comes from my own race especially the men who refuses to understand why we wear our hair the way we do now. To put it simply, I am happy being me. And I dare say that will be the same for every woman who chooses to do the same. So while you can, learn to love your hair; and learn how to style it. I have been doing that time and again and my hair is never styled the same way two days in a row! I'm posting some photos below. Some you may have already seen. Oh and now, I love walking in the rain!
