Let's Talk About Hair! ☺️

the social media aspect/judgment of a black girl is straight short black hair. PERMED HAIR 😣 I grew up being told that my hair was "nappy" I needed a perm when ever "new growth" grew in. being told that perms "make" your hair grow. getting my ends clipped "makes" my hair grow. I realize those were all lies. When I look back at pictures when I was like 10years old and younger my hair was SO LONG! I realize that PERMS made my hair lose length. Don't get me wrong...I've always had shoulder length hair. BUT...before I started getting perms, in those pictures I could see how thick it was. In which I still have thick hair. But idk...you can definitely see the difference in my hair from when I was a little girl compared to my high school pictures. I have officially been NATURAL for a year now. I LOVE my natural hair. It's soo much fuller, thicker and fluffier than from when I was getting perms. Not to mention my hair grows at a faster pace than it did when I was getting perms. Black women don't realize they can grow long hair naturally. When we get "new growth" it may feel rough compared to the rest of your straightened hair....that is only because when our hair grows in...it's growing In curly! Every black girl has a curl pattern. If more females would go completely natural with no HEAT!!!! They would see their natural curl pattern. My curl pattern is kinky/coily. Of course I wish my curls were looser, but like I said I haven't felt my hair this thick or full in a long time. Of course your hair is not going to grow over night. It takes time and patience, just like anything else. The MEDIA has put on this image that every black girl needs weave, if a black girl does wear weave that means she's bald head! LIKE NO!!!!! I have seen plenty of girls with ALOT of hair still get sew ins. Even myself! Just because a girl wears weave does not mean she doesn't have hair. But that's the first thought that comes to a persons mind. Why are we scared of our Afros? We were born with this thick coily hair! It doesn't get any "realer" than that. I love my fro. Yes I wear weave here and there. But I still take time out every week...yes, EVERY WEEK to wash my hair. I wash, condition, and moisturize every week! I will not ever go back to perms nor when I have kids...will they get perms!!! 🚫
