To All My Sisters Contemplating On Going All Natural by Olivia111(f): 11:06pm On Aug 03, 2014
I applaud you. Going natural is a scary process. It
brings up all sorts of fears and insecurities. All
your life, you’ve been told, you’ve believed that
your natural hair, the hair God gave you was bad,
ugly, and wrong. You’ve been told that your
natural hair would keep you from getting a job
and a man. All your life, you’ve been told that the
only hair that is beautiful is bouncy, shiny, and
blows in the wind. You are brave. You are feeling
the urge to fight that brainwashing and beginning
to understand that you were born perfect, you
don’t need to apply toxic chemicals to your scalp,
next to your brain, to alter the perfection that you
already are. There is empowerment, freedom,
and true beauty on the other side of your
journey. Your natural hair is not ugly. Your
natural texture is not difficult to care for. Some
sistas make the transition and they run back to
the chemicals because they haven’t embraced the
change in their heart, they aren’t ready to give up
the European aesthetic. If your mother,
grandmother, and your aunts never told you, I’m
telling you now, “You are beautiful the way you
were born!” Because society, the media, and the
Black community never told you, I’m here to tell
you right now that, “You don’t need to alter your
natural self, you are perfect the way you were
born.” Because Black men have lusted after
women with flowing, curly, long, straight hair, I’m
here to tell you that you can be gorgeous with the
hair that you were intended to have.” You don’t
need yak hair, Asian hair, or synthetic hair be to
attractive. You are beautiful with your own hair.
Your hair doesn’t have to be “curly” and “exotic”.
Let go of the belief that your hair has to look like a
mixed chick, you can look fully African and be
stunning. I’ve got your back. If you get scared,
lean on me. If you feel insecure, lean on me. I’ve
been where you are. I made the transition and I
will NEVER go back. I want you to know that
sense of empowerment. I want you to be able to
look in the mirror and see beauty reflected. I
know that I’m stronger, more radiant, and I’m
truly free now that I KNOW, deep in my spirit, that
I’m valid and beautiful the way I was supposed to
be. If you take the steps to let go of the
chemicals, I pray that you find that same sense of
peace and self-love as well.
