All I'm trying to do is get my hair as healthy and as natural as possible and stay away from chemicals. Now I wear wigs just to blend with my husband and daughter. I'm a little ashamed of my hair. This is something I don't know if I will ever get over. You would think things get better when you get older and don't have to put up with kids teasing you in school, but adults are no different.

I think one thing we need to remind ourselves is natural hair is beautiful and rocking what you have naturally is beautiful in itself. Its not to be compared to what others have because everyone's hair is different. The uniqueness of natural hair is beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you differently. As soon as someone even tries you

them in their tracks and tell them don't come at me with that dumb-mess.

The good hair theory is the reason most women won't go natural. I have to admit- it was the reason I would transition and then end up relaxing. Once I decided to change my thinking and be confident with what God created I was able to go natural and rock it. Don't let others insecurities affect the way you feel about your hair. You liked it before she said something to you. Who is she, she doesn't matter.
