My Nappy Roots

Sooo yeah... I did it.
I did the thing that Black women aren't supposed to do...
The thing that both men and women find somewhat unattractive...

I cut my hair.

Sure, it doesn't seem like a big thing but to a woman who's been permed and pressed all of her life... its HUGE.

And I love it.
I never expected to.
I just did.

I love being apart from the crowd.
Love knowing that my hair is on its way to being healthy again.
Love knowing that I can truly say that I'm a natural beauty.

I'm just surprised by all the shady looks and whispers especially since I go to an HBCU.
I was quite taken back by the stares and the confused looks.

But hey, I guess thats just how it is.
