I heard I Am Not My Hair on the way to work today. It made me feel vain for caring so much about my hair for the last month.
I could never feel vain about taking care of my hair. Didn't God give it to you for glory? So..... take care of it.I heard I Am Not My Hair on the way to work today. It made me feel vain for caring so much about my hair for the last month.
I appreciate this post. I don't wear my hair out at work because I don't want all the white people "oooing and aaaaing" over it. That would just kill me to hear that all day.The more I wear my curls out at work, the less I worry what others think of them and the more accepting I am of they way they are (shrunken, slightly frizzy and a bit dull).
BUT, I still dream of long, glossy, shiny, bouncy curls. That would make me soooo happy.

But I guess the more I wear it out the less surprised they are with each day passing day And the more I won't care? Idk.
See, the muted reactions (or lack thereof) would have me thinking "does my hair look bad?", yet at the SAME time I don't want the attention. It's double edged LOL.Exactly. I got a few double takes the first day. I got one person who gushed about my hair (a Mexican guy), and one other compliment (from a white woman). Overall the reaction was way more muted that I was anticipating.
I wore my shrunken twa in all its kinky glory and nobody oohs and ahhhs at my job. It’s a bunch of black people (with sprinkles of white and latino/a) that mostly wear weave. Wait I take that back, there’s one lady that didThe more I wear my curls out at work, the less I worry what others think of them and the more accepting I am of they way they are (shrunken, slightly frizzy and a bit dull).

Forgot to mention that I used Aveda Humectant Pomade on my hair as I took the twists down.My twist out was super cute today. I used the Mielle twisting souffle and the Camille Rose coconut water style setter while twisting my hair last night. The CR gave hold to my twists and worked well with the souffle.

Where I work doe!...there's going to be a stampede running to see this afro texture hair that is RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM AND NOT JUST ON TV/MEDIA. Oh they gonna wanna see it up close.
Ok maybe I'm over thinking this, I'm going to be strong and expose my hair at work just as you did! I wanna be strong like you.

God is good!!!Oh my goodness... In a few months (or less) I'll be at my goal weight while having super long hair at the SAME TIME!! (Lord willing).
