Good Hair...

It was Friday night so the fella and I decided to go catch a flick, we watched a hilarious movie by Chris Rock, Good Hair.http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810059624/info

I could relate to every joke in that movie because of my genetic gift of Nappy hair. I used to hate my hair and try to hide it instead of embrace it. What a shame!

The movie really makes you think what society accepts as "good hair" when has an Afro ever been taken serious or looked at a smokin' hott??? Never. Disco afros were associated with parties and no seriousness.

So what is good hair,This? (RIP)

Or how about the famous Aniston look every woman tried to get?

For me it isn't straight or wavy hair, because anyone can pull that off. How many people do you know that have hair like this? A badass afro is a commitment and something only the most confident people can pull off. I mean look at this picture these are the 2 coolest, most chill, confident people I've ever seen. This photo says 1,000 words.

I went through the phase of trying to be and have something that wasn't there.

Straight Hair!

It was a hassle and the burning from the relaxers and flat irons was horrible, but I did it so I couldn't be a little bit closer to normality.

I'm a different person now, I'm comfortable and confident with who I am and what I have. I guess I can say I finally have the right attitude to pull off hair like mine.

When I'm smiling my biggest smile and feeling the most beautiful I don't wonder if anyone is looking at me and thinking the same thing because I'm happy that I can see myself in that way.

You are only as beautiful as you allow yourself to be.
