I cant sweat my hair out!

I take it for granted now…

But its nothing like running through the rain

Going to the club, dancin long and hard

Going swimming AND putting my head underwater

Breakin’ a sweat in the gym

Taking a long steamy shower

... WITH no hair worries

Guest Blogger: Candi My Hair, My Culture, My Consciousness

Candi Fulcher

candi As a young child, I had no frame of reference for “other.” Where I grew up everyone was like me, they played outside till the street lights came on, got their hair pressed in the kitchen for church on Sundays, and when playing tag tried their hardest not to be it. But in the second grade, I learned what “other” was and I was it.

In second grade, my family moved to a predominately white neighborhood, where I was one of five Black students in my school. While I focused on how different everyone acted, they were focused on how different I appeared. For my peers the largest difference was not my skin but my hair. They were amazed by my versatility. They could not understand that in one month’s time, I would have braids, twist and even hair as long and as straight as theirs.

Guest Blogger: Maria Atubiga: When I went Natural

imageI stopped relaxing my hair in January of 2004. It was after I had to take a semester off from school because I couldn’t pay the tuition. I don’t know if it was because my hair was the only thing I had control of at the time or if I just didn’t feel like dealing with it; but which ever it was going natural was the best thing I’ve ever done.

You never realize how important something like hair is, how it shapes who you are, how much it affects your self esteem until you have taken your hair out of its “comfort zone”. For as long as I can remember I’ve had a perm, and I’ve never had hair issues or I never thought I had hair issues. No one made fun of me because my hair was “nappy” or “kinky”. If anything I never heard these words in reference to my hair until I went natural. I gradually heard these things and being Ghanaian I heard other things that black culture may not be so privy to. For instance my aunt telling me I look like a Gollywog or Motalewaa -a Gollywog is similar to a gremlin or troll in African culture and Motalewaa is equivalent to the folk tale Americans know as Rumpelstiltskin.
