To go natural, that is...
I don't know of a single woman rocking natural hair that didn't transition due to the influence of another naturalista. (Clearly I'm not talking about those who never had a perm.) For me, it was Jill Scott and five of my line sisters. And of course there were all the ladies rocking hawt natural styles & posting pix on blogs. They all gave me the "that could be me!" feeling.
So now that you're natural or going natural, have you inspired anyone to make that change as well? So far I'ev got two! One of my classmates told me at the beginning of the semester that she was thinking about it and was going to try transitioning for a while to see how she liked it. Last week I came to class and she had a cute, fluffy TWA! And actually it's not so teeny-weeny. For just a few months, it's a pretty good size! Secondly, a lady at my church said that she wants to go natural as well. She plans to transition mostly by wearing braids. I'm happy for them!
So again, who have you inspired? And who inspired you?
(yup, short & sweet today. i'm supposed to be working! lol)
Actually I just go tired of cornrows If felt like I look 2 much like a teenager and that locks would give me more of a mature look. Once I started my locks all of my peers took notice, because It wasn't really that popular yet? When people say that u could still get them braided and keep them maintained. They were once longer than they are now, but there still pretty long. I could c u with looks, but I also think letting ur hair grow out would look good also.
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by Badu... but I didn't "transition" so to speak. I just chopped it all off and started over from scratch. I wore a fro for a while but when I got tired of combing it, I started my locks. I've been natural for about 2 years now...
