You have broken my soul so that it can be rebuilt. ❤️
lol ridiculous victimhood marathon. Trauma is serious so stop watering it down by associating it with literally anything
Black women are going through and identity crisis. We dont love or accept our authentic selves. Because of white supremacy and anti blackness, we are trying to look like and be like everyone else but ourselves. It also doesn't help that black men are our biggest bullies. They take their self hatred and inferiority complex out on us often.
This type of anxiety also happens in the Latino community. I have super curly hair. I remember one of my managers (Caucasian), in corporate America, telling my 20-something self, that no one was going to take me serious with “that” hair. I ended up applying straightners, botox, keratine, etc to my hair. In the end, I damaged my beautiful, voluminous, curly hair. My father’s side of the family also made fun of my hair when I was growing up. It was traumatic and I’ve resented them ever since. My hair is part of my identity. I’m considering cutting it off and letting it grow back naturally.
There is no Indian hair stores or white lady hair stores or Chinese hair store.There are only black hair stores.Why is that
Definitely have a lot of anxiety around my hair.Still feel like I can't leave the house unless it's perfect.I am finally embracing my natural hair. I always wish to have puerto rican long here because I thought that would make me happy.And I'm so grateful for this video.And I haven't even watched it yet.
Greetings,
I am still confused on where hair trauma comes from. As a 46 year old woman I have never had any hair traumas. I remember being young and asking my grandma for a relaxer, she was against it, I begged and she did it and I regretted it. In my 20’s I learned that I could not wear fake hair due to making me itch and break out. I have only had my hair braided like 5 times in my whole life. I use to go to the salon every two weeks but then I got tired of that because when I got my hair done I could not get it wet and I felt like I was missing out on life so then I went to locs. My first set was sisterlocs, loved them and loved the freedom but hated sitting in a salon all day. Then from there I had several set of locs. Now at 47 I have micro locs and I absolutely love them. I am only going to twist like 3 times a year because I don’t so the whole obsessed over my locs because I have other things to do like garden and raise my children, and tend to my husband and our home. I had the press and curls and all that stuff but for me it’s gets tiring, I have never been a woman who had to look good for someone else. I am a very low maintenance woman. I actually feel sorry for the women out here that depend on others to do their hair and add fake hair just to get a look or a length. I am so glad that I have self love about myself. I am the type of person if you say that something is bad and causes cancer and other health issues, I am done with it. I never wanted to do something to my hair that would make me go bald or lose hair. I am very happy with my DIY micro locs and I do an amazing job and keeping them healthy and keeping chemicals out of my hair. I make my own flaxseed gel that me and my daughter use and I use natures blessing grease and water and that’s it. It’s all about keeping it simple and learning to live our natural selves. I also have been lucky to have great stylists. I have only had 5 in my hair and I’m 46, that’s days a lot because I am picky and I don’t so the not treating my hair healthy. I later learned that you can’t trust everyone in you hair as I started to hear stories. Let’s all just make a pack to eat healthy, exercise and taking care of our own hair. I encourage everyone to tap into their ancestors and start taking care of self. Much Gratitude for your channel and the awareness that your sharing with us about locs and stylists. Peace and Love ❤
😍😘🙏
