This is an update to my post Natural Hair. It has been a year now since I did the big chop.
My hair has grown a lot.
I sported a cute afro back in late December of last year into the entire month of February into March.
Afterwards, I just kept my hair in its natural hanging waves as a result from coming out of the shower every morning.
I don’t even have to comb or brush my curls as the water beaming down on my head gives my hair a style of its own. I have even gotten compliments on my effortless locks.
I have noticed how healthy and strong my hair continues to get.
I love my hair within its natural state just like I use to wear it all throughout my life up until the age of eighteen before I went and got my very first perm.
It has been three years now since I stopped using relaxers and I will never ever use one again. I do not need to I am proud of the way I was born.
More and more I see women of color wearing their hair natural, and it is wonderful.
I love my brown skin and I love my combination of African American and Native American bloodline that enhances the beauty of my culture.
I also have a great-grandfather of English parentage so the mixtures are probably why my hair texture isn’t kinky, but like I have mentioned before kinky hair is not bad hair for those whose hair texture fall into that category.
There is variety within diversity.
True beauty comes from inside and shines without.
We are who we are and not what anyone or anything within society defines us to be.
We are a whole or a combination of the ingredients that God prepared for us to be.
Naturalness is to be embraced within all aspects.
The authenticity in being real brings forth a true confidence, strength and love of self that no one can take away.
