My Curls Bad, My Curls Good…

My curls bad, my curls good, my curls do stuff that you wish yours would. Now for real yall, I wish I felt like this, but I don’t. Instead most days my curls drive me crazy, they do everything but what I want them to do, leaving me with a head full of soft tightly coiled confusion. This is the second time I am growing my hair out from a brush cut and this stage of the transition is driving me crazy. The first time I grew my hair out I wore a lot of micros and curly weaves that mimicked my natural curl pattern, but this time I refuse to do it that way. I want to learn my naturally kinky curly hair as it grows out this time and observe every transitioning stage of curly coils. So I am going to take this one brief moment to whine and be a baby, but in the next I will pick my lips up after this pout session and be bold. I will embrace me and my crazy hair, while I continue to say something positive to myself everyday and love me. Today I just wanted all of you to know that although I am a stylist, I struggle with my hair and have the same crazy hair days that all naturally kinky curly hair girls have. So for now I am on to the next, the next curled up, twisted out and coiled kink, in this bantu knot of life, but remember, to live, to love and to be free naturally.
