Nappy and Unhappy?
“Does it itch?”
No dumbass. Instead of replying I silently shook my head no, confused as to why people assumed that my head must be itchy just because my hair is natural.
“It sure looks like it does….”
And the comments just keep rolling… You’d think she’d take a hint by now to stop talking.
“It looks dry. Why did you cut your hair off in the first place? Were you going through some angry black woman phase?”
There goes those damn questions again. Some people just don’t understand why a girl would want to have natural hair. I dunno why I cut off, I just felt like weave and relaxers just ain’t me. Could it be that I’m not ashamed of my curly coif? Or maybe it’s because I refuse to conform to the ideology that there’s only one type of beauty? I dunno what my reasons maybe but I love my hair. I look in the mirror and I see myself for who I am everyday, even when it looks a hot mess. So forget everyone else who doesn’t like it or can’t understand why I wear my hair the way I do. Nah bitch, it aint itchy, and nah I’m not an angry black woman, I’m just doing me, that’s all.

Sistah……YOU KNOW YOU AINT’T RIGHT FOR THIS! LMAO, you come home from college one weekend with a drastic haircut and I can’t ask some questions? Excuse me for being curious. In all seriousness, I know I clown you and call you “Windchime” because of your hair and clothing choice but I think it suits you. Oh, and don’t worry the fam won’t always think you’re weird, lol.
