This is such a valuable conversation. I'm 16 but most girls around me wear wigs, crochet, sew ins, silk presses... And not gonna lie, I'm often tempted to do the same. My mother always told me though that neglecting and shunning my natural hair would have consequences and I'm glad Ive stayed away from harsh chemicals and straining my hair so far. I think as a community we need to shift focus on caring our natural hair, whether it's frizzy, kinky, coily, or curly. Black 4b-4c hair is the ONLY hair type that is made to be ashamed of. So much so that we must cover it up 24/7 with wigs, weaves, extensions. All to appeal to the white beauty standard that our own people idolize.
This is literally the realisation I had this year! I had to stop and ask myself why I was so ashamed of wearing my natural hair. Natural hair is a lot of work but it’s so sad we don’t wear our hair out as standard! Every other culture does
Honestly at this Kenalog injection is a great option, if you dont want it consider hair transplant. Xoxo ❤
