wanted a perm. I saw the damage it did
to my sister’s hair and I didn’t want the texture of my hair to be forever
changed!)
Hey
friends! My name is Ravae and I was ADDICTED
TO MY HAIR!
Last Sunday, I cut about
three or four inches off of my hair, which may sound like a little bit, but was
a huge step for me. It was the first
time I had EVER cut my hair, besides a small trim. I have always been afraid to cut my hair; I
just don’t like change very much. I also
alternate between straightening my hair and wearing it curly, so I was
concerned about how short it would be when I washed it (can’t live without my
ponytail!).
Recently I moved to a
new city, moved into a new apartment, and started a new job. This transition made me realize that life is
too short to be afraid. And if I could
do something as bold as starting a new life in a new city, then surely I could
do something as simple as cutting my hair. However, being the logical and
anti-spontaneous person that I am, it took me a while to finally do it. It was when I realized that my hair would be
healthier if I cut it that I decided this was the best move to make and got off the fence.
Once I got myself excited enough about the
new “do”, I took the bold step and cut my hair.
While some people didn’t even notice (smh), it was a huge milestone for
me! As black women, we tend to hold on
to our hair, to let it shape and define us.
So glad I let go! I’m finally
free!
