“I’ve definitely been guilty of thinking I look prettier in a wig or braids, and that without I look too young, or not as beautiful as I could be.”
Even when I had my hair relaxed, it never suited me. It needs imperfection to it. I think that may be why I struggle with wigs – it’s hard to put personality into them. In my early twenties, it was shoulder-length, straight and in good condition, and then I buzzed it all off. I remember being in the salon. Everyone was getting their hair straightened. Their jaws were on the floor.
It’s hard to not be influenced by the images you consume daily. When I spend too long on social media, I want a lacefront. But going natural opened up a whole world to me. My life changed. When you feel good about your hair, good things come to you because of the energy you’re putting out. You can always fake it until you get there.I haven’t seen my natural Afro since I was 11. I take my braids out the night before getting them redone.
My hair is a massive part of my look – I care way too much about what people think to have it out. I’m not saying that everybody would hate my Afro, but growing up, I’d always been told not to wear it. Now I have control, I’m just so self-conscious, I don’t know if I ever will – or at least I won’t anytime soon.Growing up my hair was too thick, too Black – just not a positive. In secondary school, girls had straightened hair, clips, gels and swirls.
