How did family and friends react to your decision to go natural? How did they react to the new you? What was your response to them?
There were two reactions from my friends and family. The bourgeoisie friends didn’t understand, and preferred me with straight hair. They thought that straight hair was more elegant and sophisticated. And I have to admit that I was thinking alike too.
It’s really strange but I think that the hair changes everything for an outfit. I know that today I can dress really simply yet be able to be stylish with my afro as it gives a lot of personality. But when I wanted to look classier and glamorous I thought that straight hair was more appropriate, but not anymore!
That’s the result of growing up in a world with really defined prototypes. But now I’m loving “the natural me” more and more. It’s a journey…
