If I leave it <I>au naturel</I>, it makes me look like Mama Cass. But if I cut it short and straighten it and get highlights, it actually suits my face better and makes me look more professional and less hippie/geeky. But oh, how I pine for the little ringlets around my temples!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21366808.post-1151113943474417662006-06-24T10:52:00.000+09:002006-06-24T10:52:00.000+09:00How about in a remarkably black moment, I went to ...How about in a remarkably black moment, I went to the hairdresser to get my hair dyed black--it had turned 1b or 2a or something--and my hairdresser wouldn't cut it. She's all, but your hair is <B>so long</B>! Ok, it's only shoulder-length. Geez. She even had another customer ganging up on me!<BR/><BR/>She said to wait 1 week and call her if I still wanted it cut!!! She is TOO funny.

I fought society with nappiness until they made me realize the only place you can work in the state ov VA with your natural growth is a goshdanged warehouse...sweating and lifting things..in extreme weather conditions...and if you refuse?? Well, lets just say the term ROOTS has amiguous meaning here.<BR/><BR/>I know how you feel, everytime I see someone on TV or a commercial having the nerve to wear fake natural hair?? What the heck is that?? <BR/><BR/>I always tell people I'll be back though. Once I rise to the top of my entreprenuerial empire, I will rock the crazy fro once again, we shall be victorious! And then I shall retire to the more conservative locks.

Wow, I have always wanted to grow my ...6-8 hours!!! Wow, I have always wanted to grow my hair out naturally but I had some of the same concerns--mainly about the style being too difficult to manage. Don't fret. You can still keep it real with a perm, you just have to do some extra stuff to make up for the Dark & Lovely. Burn some incense, put on some India Arie, and wear anything with African print and you'll be fine my sista! :-) I am sure you look great and represent all black women well no matter what hairstyle you rock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
