Follicle Frenzy

The struggle between natural hair versus relaxed hair is that most young girls do not realize that there shouldn’t be a struggle. These two textures of hair should solely be dedicated on preference; because social media demonstrates a constant battle between straight and kinky hair, girls do things to their hair not because they want to but because of the trend they want to uphold. You should always  use your “crown of glory” as an outlet and a way to express how you are feeling. The way you love yourself is by doing things that help you to feel comfortable in your own skin, maybe some days you may want to have long and luxurious straight hair and others you would love to have hot and shiny curls, but remember it is all a choice and with all of the different hair products available, these options are achievable with the right applications.  Hair texture doesn’t determine any type of educational status neither does it explain social awareness. For example Oprah Winfrey isn’t more self-righteous than India Arie because her hair is straight neither is India Arie considered more Pro-Black than Oprah Winfrey. This is because these two women realize that life is about more than the way they choose to wear their hair but the differences they are making in others’ lives. Learning how to love yourself is more than just being able to afford hairstyles but owning the room and demanding people’s attention when walking into said room. It is also being proud of your choices because you know that it was something that you wanted to do. Your hair does not determine who you are you do, so never let it consume you but let your work and your goals do all of the talking. And whatever you decide to do always keep in mind it’s your choice and it is because you love yourself.
