So .. I've decided to go natural *dramatic music*
Yes .. I've said it .. NATURAL *more dramatic music*
I got a perm when I was in the 10th grade .. So about 16/17 .. I grew tired of my moms typical dinosaur braids and our 3 day hair wash process .. And she gave me 2 choices .. Perm or dreads (even though I doubt she would've let me dread my hair) and I happily excitedly pick a perm .. And LET ME TEEEEEEEEEEEELL YOU *chews gum chicken-headishly* I thought I was the shit .. Cutie with a booty and long luscious hair
YEAAA ALRIIIIIIGHT .. I think my gassed up head lasted about a year before I started treating my hair horrible .. No deep conditioners, trims, wraps .. Thinking I was a white girl and taking naps without tying my hair .. Eating junk food .. NO VITAMINS!
Slowly but surely my hair starting breaking off something serious .. And I started imagining myself as one of those girls with long hair with only 2 strands of hair .. OH NO *grabs scissors* so after much thought and consideration and motivation from my cousin and just the beauty of natural hair and things you can do to it .. Products you can put in it .. I was convinced and sold ..
If only I knew THEN what I know NOW .. I would be rocking my big diana ross .. Solonge .. Erykah badu fro
Unfortunately society and my mother doesn't view natural hair as beautiful .. But guess what .. WHO THE FUCK CARES!
