Okay I know originally I said I would wait it out but after taking out my braids and washing/conditioning my hair, THEN LOOKING IN THE MIRROR!
I got the scissors and snipped, snipped, snipped it down to my first 'o' curl! And just wore it to work today for the first time against my preconcieved thoughts of negativity or outside races within this corporation not being able to respond "properly" to it....I am suprised and please to say all I have gotten was positive reactions. Outside of my boss reaching to touch it its been amazing!
My boyfriend I HAVE to thank because he definitely boosted my confidence and gave me the bravery to say f-this and just do it!
Its a TWA no "real" shape but its so thick (my hair has never been thick with the creamy crack) and reminds me of a newborn brown baby....you know tight curls and small afro...hehehe....I look heck -a-young and will get carded more now than before but LADIES its a wonderful feeling.....I can't wait to get my PJ badge - lol
Nappy, curly and happy
