Hair Love

I’m going to jump right in…

I truly dislike…ok I have to say it…I hate all the negative, cynical and self-defeating talk about natural hair. I don’t know about you but seeing descriptions like…
Hard to handle
Unmanageable
Too time-consuming
Rough
Untamed
Wild
Difficult
Wooly
Unruly

Can you feel me? It just makes my hair stand up on my head…well, more than it already does naturally.

And, good hair – what is that about? Like many of us, I grew up hearing about good hair and bad hair. And, somehow, I always considered my hair as good hair. Not because it was close to straight or wavy. Quite the contrary. It was thick, dense, healthy and I could style it in the most unimaginable ways.

So, I have to say good hair is healthy hair. Period.

That shrinkage…
That texture…
That shine…
That versatility…
ALL signs of health

And ALL I know is – hair love begins and ends with each of us…
How we talk about it
How we perceive it
How we handle it
How we look at it
How we love it

Come on…we learned how to style and take care of our relaxed hair. Why is it such a big deal about learning how to take care of your hair, the way it naturally grows out of your scalp?

Let’s think in terms of Hair Love, not Hair Hate. Because no matter what…our hair is definitely something to love.
