Sometimes it physically hurts me when I talk to my nieces or my sisters. I spent all of 15 minutes on the phone with them yesterday while they made fun of me for not having a perm and a weave! Are you serious?!? My nieces joked that they would hold me down and give me a perm by force! I am the one who is crazy for wanting to wear my natural hair and be a good influence for my daughter. By showing pride in my heritage I am the one being stupid. My sister will not let her daughter get a perm but it's only because she has "good hair". Oh please! I am so sick of black women having no clue what they are doing to themselves. But when you try to educate them they think your nuts! They told me I would be ugly when I told them I was going to do the big chop, but when I did it they told me it was only cute cause I had the face for it. Now that I am getting Sisterlocks they think I have truly lost it. I can't wait until they see me in July. I'll be 6 months locked and I hope looking fabulous so I can hear there excuses then. Ugh!!! Okay I am done. Feels good to purge all that negativity.
I guess I can't be too mad though. Maybe one day they will come around. People usually don't come to the decisions I have made regarding my hair over night. Beside I use to be just like them minus the weave thing.... Here are some shots of me when I was a slave to the creamy crack. I was especially proud of how well this perm took. Considering my hair in it's natural state I must have burnt it beyond belief! All traces of it's natural components are GONE! I couldn't have been happier...So sad. Excuse the towels in the background lol!
Anyway....6 more days to go until install day!!! Woohoo!
