I recently cut my hair and my cousin who is also my hairstylist is very angry at me. Boy I have to convince her to work with my new look. After all, I am more comfortable with me being natural than anything else. Natural is the new cool!!!
Prior to cutting and relaxing my hair, I had dreads and I loved them! So when I had my son, my family insisted I cut my hair as a traditional means of doing things after a first born baby. Apparently if I didn’t cut my hair my son would go blind. As much as I didn’t believe this, I also didn’t want to test it so I cut the hair anyways.
Relax is not my thing, I am a natural babe and that is why I cut my relaxed hair. This natural journey that I am travelling is going to be long but interesting. I have so much hairstyles to do. I just hope my cousin will have the passion and time to do them.
With that said and done. I am motivated by my quote which goes, “Natural is the only beauty I possess. I look at myself and shout ‘I am an African’. People look at me and their minds automatically go, ‘She is a natural’.”
