My mom and grandmother hate my hair when it’s big and curly. I’m not sure what exactly they want me to do differently, but I really don’t care. They are always making comments, saying things like it’s ‘too much’ or I look ‘straight outta Africa’ or if they hear someone else compliment it they have to negate it with some sort of jab. I tell them ‘it’s my hair. it’s healthy, i love it, and you worry about your own hair’.
Sometimes I like to wear it straight, but right now, I’m in a big and free zone and I’m comfortable here (also, flat ironing it is a pain in the ass). They, and anyone else who doesn’t absolutely love it, can stuff it. My damn hair.
I kinda know what you mean…I love it when I brush my hair out all big and poofy, but Brie always tells me I should just let it be naturally curly…I brush my hair out because I want it to be that way…Plus, I’m at the point where I’ve been growing my hair out for about 9 months…Now, that may not seem that long to some people, but this is the longest my hair has ever been in my life, so I feel that getting past the 6 month mark and not cutting my hair is quite an achievement…So I don’t plan on stopping and cutting it anytime soon….Fuckyeah big hair!
