This month on The Free Your Mind Project, we will be discussing HAIR!
For many ladies, their hair is their pride and joy. And her
hair is arguably the most versatile: between braids, weaves, afros,
pixie cuts, bobs, and locs black women make up the largest clientele in
the hair industry.
But as much as she love her hair and all that it can do, she has a preference for which hair types and styles she think is
the best. How many of us have heard that you can’t go natural unless
you have that “good hair?” Or heard that myth that having locs meant
your hair was “dirty?” Or that relaxing your hair meant you were playing
into the “beauty standards of our oppressors?” Trust me, as someone
who’s visited alot of female saloons, I’ve heard it all!
The most important thing I’ve learned is that, your hair is for your own personal expression.
If that means you want to dye it blue, so be it. It’s not rare to
receive commentary on your hair. If you decide to go natural, someone
will say “Oh? I like you better with straight hair…” If you decide to
perm your hair, “Really? How can you put all those chemicals into your
hair…” You decide to cut it, “But, I always preferred girls with long
hair, its just more feminine to me…” Just like in anything else,
someone’s going to have an opinion about what you should be doing and
you have to decide how important that opinion is to you.
Think about it this way: when that person who has an opinion spends the time and
money for the upkeep of your hair, THEN they can have a say. But until then, don’t worry about it. Your hair is your crown! However you decide to wear it, you should feel confident and beautiful.
So, for this month, I’ll be having interviews with several
hair enthusiasts. We’ll be discussing the different ways black women
wear their hair, what products you can use and how to maintain healthy
hair in all your different styles
