Here we go again...

I recently had the "why are you going natural" conversation...again! I guess at this point I really want to understand why everyone is so against natural hair. Ok, maybe it's not for everyone, but for those of us who have chosen to go on this journey, a little less negativity would be greatly appreciated. I am fully aware that my hair is "nappy" but I am at a place where I am okay with that. Right now it's about showing my hair some love. I could care less about looking different from my peers. If I happen to be in the mood for straight hair, I will use a little heat and straighten it, but the overall goal here is to get to know and love my naturally un-straightened hair. I've been telling God that He did it wrong for over 20 years now. Dissatisfied with what I was given, I took matters into my own hands and proceeded to "fix" my hair with the help of a tub of creamy crack (it is addictive). The problem with that is that my hair was never broken, so it didn't need to be "fixed" in the first place. God did good, and it's time for me to appreciate what He gave me. I am content with my decision to go natural. I can't say that I will never relax again, BUT, I can say that I will take much better care of my hair going forward. Whether relaxed or natural, I'm gonna do me. :-)
