The first few years I was natural I was really lost. I would wear mostly ‘fros and scarfs, or variations of the two. If I was lucky my roomie would braid my hair. Sometimes I would rock braids just in the front, with a ‘fro in the back. A few times she even did Allen Iverson skeleton braids.
My mom was not very fond of my uneven ‘fros, or my black t-shirt cover up bun. She would ask “Why don’t you go press your hair”.
I didn’t understand her dislike at first. I have always known her to have short hair. Half of the time it was natural.
A few weeks before graduation, my mom asked, “Should I get a perm or cut my hair?” I of course said, NATURAL!
My mom’s super low hair cut looked amazing! I also remember my mom showering me with hair compliments. It wasn’t that she didn’t like me being natural, she didn’t like it when my hair was looking crazy! I finally started to master styling my natural hair after years of trial and error.
My Big Chop, and TWA was def inspired by my momma!
