“I love my hair because it’s a reflection of me, and me is beautiful” – Zendaya
It took some time to grow my perm out and learn to love my natural hair but here I am 12 years later with my curl wild and free.
The truth is there have been a few times I sat in my hair dressers chair and confessed that I wanted my hair chemically straightened again. She was very encouraging and said she’ll be there there to help me with my hair when I need it.
Any other person woulda took the money and made a perfectly acceptable part of me slide back into the status quo category.
She didn’t. And I think that’s the perfect reason why women need women. They welcome the parts of us that society can make us feel are hard to love.
