My hair is soooo curly. My mom calls it kinky curly. I have natural kinky curly hair and I love it. I never plan to put chemicals in it. I think my hair is beautiful and will keep it natural forever.
You can do many styles with naturally curly hair. Before my mom styles my hair, she lets me pick out different styles that I like online. Sometimes I do braids, twist outs, puffs, cornrows, bantu knots and even seasonal styles. You should do it too. So maybe when my mom washes my hair, the deep conditioner runs down my back. Sometimes it runs down my face. Or, it can take four hours to style it. But the downsides don’t matter. It’s the results. It makes you think, “Why didn’t I go natural earlier?”
I have heard that girls have perms, and have their hair pressed all the time. They don’t know that they have beautiful hair. That is a fact. I want to tell young girls that every feature they have, every trait they got from their parents, makes them beautiful. They don’t know that because people tell them that their hair is ugly, or that their hair is too thick and that they should have their hair pressed. For those who don’t know what a perm or getting hair pressed is, it is when you have your hair straightened. If you have kinky hair, don’t let people talk trash about it. Stand up for yourself, stand up for your hair.
If you think you might want to try natural hair, talk to your mom and tell her how much you want to try it. Once she knows you really mean it she will probably say ok. It may seem weird or frustrating at first but don’t give up! You will learn to love your hair as much as I love mine.
