My Natural Hair Journey...What I've Learned.

Hello My Loves....

So, for the past 5 months I and my 2 best friends have been transitioning to our natural hair texture, meaning No Perms (aka. Liquid Crack), No Texturizers, No CHEMICALS...NONE! I rarely use heat in my hair and are fighting the call to weave it up (which is a great protector for natural hair) I'm trying so hard to stay as natural as possible and that includes all beauty products and food intake (whole other story) but, I must say this is one decision that has made me so honest and open with myself and the world around me looking deep into my societies standards and the manipulation of the human psyche. I have watched as my relaxed and westernized minded sisters and  brothers glare and stare in AWE of the choice I have made and sometimes just pure looks of disgust run across their faces. We, also have the looks from other cultures, which are usual glances of curiosity of my hairs texture and thickness, full and natural. I have realized that not everyone will except the "Natural Look" as Empowering or even Beautiful, but I give respect to my creator who made my hair this lovely curly, dry, frizzy, thick, full texture. And I had to ask myself the hardest question of all, as an adult Black woman. Why am I continuing to Relax my Hair????!!!??? Of course! Because society and the world I am apart of deems my Natural kinky, Thick, Coily, Frizzy hair as uncontrollable and unattractive, to society that is. In reality that basically deems me as a person unattractive and uncontrollable without societies standards of Beauty stamped on my being, Oh Tou'che America the Beautiful! I have embraced my uncontrollable hair as mine, if we were in a time where there were no salons or relaxers I would be rocking what I have now, without apology. My response to whats beautiful and standard in society today is..... Shut-Up, You Know Not What You Speak of, Only God can Judge me all society can do is make standards that even those they place on a high pedestal cannot stand up to. I love myself and my God who made me in his liking too much to live up to what you imagine, determine or comprise I Black woman should look like. I will stop at that, cuz I can go IN and HARD about society. Damaging ourselves and our mirror image as a race has been consistent throughout civilization, while so few fight to reverse the damage done.... Jules-

So, join Me and my lady loves (Kiki and Michelle) on our self learning Journey to freedom of societies chains of BEAUTY and support us for LOVING ourselves the way God made us. Pics coming soon!

Peace and Much Love
Jules
