Hair, again.One of the stylists at the salon didn't have anything better to do than to be cranky. Her 10 AM client didn't show up and she was just being a twat. So as I was getting my hair straightened to be trimmed, she's all "Her [my] hair is dead like that because she needs a perm." Dead meaning like..not shiny enough? Anyways, I said "Well, I'm not putting a perm in my hair" and my stylist chimed in saying that I was keeping it natural. Damn right, I am.
A perm is not a necessity. However, I grew up kinda thinking it was because my mother and I couldn't handle my hair otherwise. So getting my hair relaxed was like a cop-out. I sacrificed healthy hair for the comfort of familiarity (and I was plain ignorant). Now, I'm not a hair snob and I don't think I'm better than any other chick for making this decision to take better care of my hair. These days, a black woman having relaxed hair signifies self-loathing and not being proud of her kinky hair. But you know, whatever a black woman or any woman decides to do with her hair is her business, her decision. Don't let some twat tell you what you NEED. You know what you need and you'll get it. It's like a salesperson trying to sell a product to you. If you wanted it, you'd buy it. You don't need someone whoring it out to you.
Anyways, I walked out with awesome hair WITHOUT a perm. c:
