I've been natural since about November of 2009 and I absolutely love it. Only recently have I begun to feel the effects of going natural and the way people feel about it. We are shown today, in all sorts of media that beautiful is long straight or wavy hair.
Since my hair has grown out, I have been able to try new things with it and although its fun, I am currently feeling like I cant get around the whole "black panther" look. I feel like a 70s bad child with perfectly a perfect fro all the time. My new style is a "puffy tail" which still reminds me of the picks with the fist on the end...soooo yea. Im battling myself right about now.
I guess I need to work on being more secure in my skin. I constantly hear people tell me that my hair is "good" so I should probably be thankful and shut up. But I am still faced with MY hair and own insecurities when I look in the mirror. Although I wouldnt even dare put creamy crack back in my hair, I find myself missing my pixie cut with the sharp V in the back........
Time to buy a straightening comb....
PS.
Whenever you have a "man" problem, Ms. Lauryn Hill and some heavy prayer will fix anything...LOL
