i hate to admit this, but i've had a natural for about eight no...nine... years....

when i got out of college my mom did the same thing to me...
she came down real hard on my hair...
she kept telling me... no one will hire you with that hair...
you need to do something about your hair...

i told her... i'm not putting any chemical in it... i'm not perming it... i'm not extentioning/braiding it...
i'm gone wash. twist. or blow it out. but it will all be mine....

well, the day before my interview... (i feel slimy typing this) she bought me a wig...yuck...
i felt like shit...
i really did...
well. i wore it for about three months and then i took it off.
then i went back to froing, fluffying, twisting, and whatever else i wanted to do to my hair...

i even wear headwraps... you should see the reaction i get at work for that one...

the point... i felt better when i did what i wanted to do...

and now i got a new job that says CASUAL dress...
sista' gurl is gon' be rocking the true hair style just as soon as my hair gets longer again...


peace...
it's up to you in the end...
