Hello my natural and locked bruthas and sistahs this week has been amazing. I am trying to design a web page for dred love. I am also working in a spa promoting natural nail care.
Today while i was doing a manicure a lady complimented my hair. She said that she wish she had the patience to go natural and lock her hair. I thought to myself, "not again". Why does going natural need patience. I promise you that if we were in Africa, we would be natural and we wouldn't need patience cause it would be the norm. Because we are here in the States, and our culture is Europeanized (is that a word), being how we were created needs patience. Does it? I felt that way one time. I have wanted to lock my hair for years but i wouldn't. I would start the process and grow impatient and relax my hair.
Why is chemically relaxing our hair the norm.
I have made it my mission to encourage as many women as possible to be natural. Whether you are black and using relaxers, whether you are white straightening your hair, no matter who you are be yourself. If you are feeling as though it takes patience, then find that inner patience and do you.
Last story, on YouTube, a young lady by the name of Toyaboo2 did a video stating that she wants to go natural but her mom and boyfriend was negative about it. I did a video response to this video that is how moved I was by her video. I want to say to you, if you make the decision to go natural and loveones are negative about it. stay away from them and do you. You are what matter and you have got to make you happy.
Too all,
Peace to you
