"So, why have natural hair if you're just going to straighten it?"
Because, I want to.
This should be a sufficient answer for people that want to know why I don't part with the flat iron. It's 2013, I live in the United States, I make my own money and I can do what I want. Point blank.
Am I denying my heritage and ancestry but taming my kinks and coils?
Am I attempting to conform to the majority's ideals of physical beauty?
Am I filled with with self-hatred?
NO! I'm really just kind of lazy...
It's so easy to go to the salon, get it blown out, and keep it moving. Every so often, I catch a glimpse of my kinks and coils right before my stylist blasts me with her magical blow dryer. At those moments, I am curious to try all the different curly styles and twist outs and bantu knots that I see on YouTube. But, alas, that's so much effort!
lol Girl natural hair is effortless. All that mess them girls be doing on YouTube.... ain't nobody got time for dat. I wash my hair and go. Wake up fluff my fro and go. I respect you rocking it straight though. I am too scared to get it straightened again. Last time my curls didn't come back in the front. I was devastated. I love my fro.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Dani with the effortlessness of being natural. But then again, when my hair is straight, it's just as effortless! I'm on the fence, but since I work out so much, it's just easier to wear it curly. I know what you're thinking!! "Ash, your hair isn't like mine though". Whatever...still...a struggle with the natural hair. Sometimes these curls don't do all that I want them to do, other days they make me so proud! Ah well...carry on my reluctant natural sistah!
