Hi people, what's been on?

Soooooo, let's chat a bit!

You go to Instagram/ Pintrest/ Snapchat and you see Becky with the big hair! Her afro is huge, her twistouts don't fit the frame of the camera and you gush! That naturalista just 'slayed!"
Then you log off and stare into your mirror and Smigol from Lord of the Rings stare back at you. Your twists look hungry, your twist outs look like you're about to cosplay as a Lisa Simpson character, your Afro looks like it has self esteem issues.....in short, your hair looks more a 'nay' than a slay''.

I have noticed that the natural hair movement these days is all about ‘the slay’. That freedom you thought you  were going to have when you finally ditch the relaxers turn to bitterness.

When you first went natural… you had never thought about volume and your only issue before that was length. The people that inspired you had thick voluminous hair and when they did twists you couldn’t see their scalp.

 We still fight with our natural hair to make it “acceptable”. Recently, I’ve been trying to worry less about slicking down my edges or working my twist into a neat bun or style.
But there’s a quieter element of the natural hair movement that appeals to me. It is the idea that a black woman can love, care for and accept her natural hair as is — thick or thin, long or short, tight or loose — without hiding. b
