Two natural related stories that placed a pleasant smile on my face today. I wore my hair in two flat twists on stretched hair, the style was simple but cute (like all other natural styles)
while getting pumping gas a brotha says,
"hey sista, what made you wanna wear your hair natural like that?"
I answered,
"Just me growing up into a woman and being comfortable in my own skin not having to rely on other peoples hair to feel beautiful"
He says with a proud smile on his face,
"that's BEAUTIFUL, you dont see sistas rocking their hair natural often"
Later that day I was walking out of my religious studies class and the only brotha in that class walks up to me and says,
"where is your fro?"
He was referring to the braid-out I wore to class last week (refer to braid out post)
this is the style i wore |
I replied that I wanted to change things up today and that rocking a "fro" is time consuming, time that I didn't have today. He then confesses that when he seen my hair last week he thought,
" yea she got skills"
He insisted I wore it like that again next week.
whether or not I get compliments they give me another reason to love and enjoy my naturalness and I am only 1 and half year into my journey. I am afraid of the kind of remarks I'm gonna get once I have the MASSIVE fro
Beautiful braid-out Dee. I can't wait to see you with a massive fro too, it's gonna be fierce!
