Funny thing hair. Cutting it off or letting it 'out' can both be emancipating and liberating in many ways.
I actually miss my 'fro' when it's been contained for long periods of time .
I love the tiny waves that give it enough volume to stand on end and curl up in puffs. It's good.
I'm always intrigued by the 'experience' of experiencing a fellow Black person that wants to touch my hair! Feeling like that native american who lived as an exhibit in the smithsonian, i'm always more amazed than they are... It's kinda sad that Black Folks are'nt familiar with what natural hair feels like. Whacky Natural hair is a novelty.
My friend Janet recently surprised me by sending me the cutest foto of herself with a new 'do'- a completely shortened hairstyle. She's liberated herself from weekly hair appointments, and has a new 'attitude'!
Funny thing hair. It's so much more than hair. At times defeated, we've even taken to placing the blame for a rough spot by 'calling' it a bad hair day!
I say Everyday is a Good Hair Day! - if my shoes still fit.... -karin
