Your Hair Is Your Crown- Love It Like One!

I always grew my hair for about 6-9 months than sabotaged it with a haircut. Here ---> I am about 2 years ago with my fiancee and I cut my hair December 2009. Like completely bald on the sides. I regret it. But I promise myself not to cut my hair, and just to be patient and take good care of it by plaiting it at night, combing it, moisturizing it and using natural products. My hair has never been LONG but it has been healthy and strong; and that's important. Even if I achieve chin-length hair I'll be happy. White women are smug about their hair, always swinging it about and running their hands through it. It seems like they are sending me a message, "You aren't a real woman because you don't have my luscious hair." Well, maybe some day I will. :) Until then, I'm very happy with what I have. I love my hair and how wavy it is and how it responds to different products (castor oil REALLY makes it soft). Anyways, if you are in the midst of having natural hair but feel frustrated...DO NOT CHOP IT OFF. And definitely DO NOT PERM IT. Your hair is your crown. Love it like one.
