'Crack Creme'

Well, I'm going through withdrawal symptoms as an addict would but not as violent for sure.

It's hard going through the thick roots but I've made up my mind.

No one seems to support my going back natural. They think I'm making a mistake. I'm convinced I'm not. My sister recently told me that I'm going to look lie a granny with natural hair. Can you imagine how I felt! When she decided to chop off her long hair and bleach then redden the top of her hair. I didn't tell her that!

I realise that we as black people have certainly been brainwashed to believe our hair is not good enough. We still haven't gotten over the skin colour much less the hair. Black people seem to consume the most hair products (weaves, relaxers etc.). Some white person is getting rich off black people. They make relaxers for us to straighten our hair... the relaxer hurts your hair.... then they make a ton load of products to help your hurt/damaged hair to get back to itself.
When those haven't worked or work only for a period... the scissors happy hairdresser is ready and waiting to cut it all off. Where does the cycle end?

I don't care what happens.... I'm not going to be relaxing my hair right now and I plan not to again and most of all I WILL NOT LOOK LIKE A GRANNY!. I'LL BE BEAUTIFUL AS EVER AND EVEN MORE SO WITH MY NATURAL GOD-GIVEN HAIR THAT WILL BE PROPERLY GROOMED.

There...I feel a thousand times better.
