curly and confident
Curly & Confident & MAD THOUGH! About three years ago, I managed to make peace with my hair. Now, I have a black chick friend getting married, and despite previous support from her and others about how cute I look (and I know I do!!), she wants me to get my hair hot combed for the wedding. I have been so happy to get away from damaging heat . . . I just can't believe it, and don't understand; almost as if, well, you guys know, you're not acceptable in some circles if you're hair is not "done" to their standards. I also happily discovered the no-combing stuff, but my dear mom really thinks something is wrong, that she never sees me run a comb through it any more, when I wear it happy and crazy . . .
Glad the Three Chicks are here, you are changing lives . . .
by the way, the book that REALLY changed my life back then: Good Hair: For Colored Girls Who've Considered Weaves when the Chemicals Became Too Ruff; Lonnice Brittenum Bonner apx $12
