Black women's hair!
This is probably one of the most talked about subjects amongst black women. It really shouldn't be a big deal, but for some it really is! Whilst there are many deep issues surrounding this topic, such as self confidence, health, perception in the work place and much more... I think it is about time we just let it go! We all have a choice of how we want to style our hair. As long as you are educated about your decision, not inflicting your views on others and not harming yourself or anyone else.... then who cares how you are wearing your hair or if your hair is even yours!
What happened to: "hi, let's get to know each other"
Nowadays people walk on by 'coz they judge by the cover
Got an awesome storyline written on the pages
Been waiting for someone to read you for ages
But you don't glitter or sparkle nicely like gold
So you're left on the shelf lonely and cold
Don't worry because the outer shell fades
And what is left are the words on the page
So don't you stress no matter what you do
Someone will one day take the time to read you

You know I do get what you mean with natural hair. For me I think I've learnt to own it cause when you do it doesn't matter what people think. When I wear my natural hair out in the summer I get so many looks and people wanting to touch my hair. Initially it used to bother me but now I don't really care cause I really like my natural hair
ReplyDeleteWow Eve, this happened for real? I am sorry to hear about that. I have had natural hair but never experienced any negative comment or funny looks or o probably haven't noticed. Several things happened. One, some of my non-African friends like to feel my hair & second they were amazed how versatile my hair. Could be styled in so many different ways. Personally I get bored easily so I like to do different styles, have different looks etc. Never gave much thought to having straight or natural hair.
ReplyDeleteI would like to say your hair looks fabulous, can't wait to get mine done.
@specialgirl89 It's great that you have learnt to own it! I think that is what many of us out here are trying to do; own it and be confident with our natural look. I love my natural hair also, but it has been a recent thing. I love that you are in a place of contentment, not caring what others think! You rock!
ReplyDelete@Naafina I am so pleased you have not experienced any negative comments about your natural hair! I wouldn't wish that on anybody. It sounds like people wanting to touch natural hair is a common thing... that hasn't happened with me yet. Perhaps my hair does not ooze 'touch me' appeal ... lol. Also thanks for the compliment about my hair... It would be awesome to see a pic or video of yours when done =) on Hair Talks
