Its no doubt that hair is probably one of the most important features of a woman and that women spend thousands of dollars per year trying to maintain it and reinvent it, but even more importantly to mention is that most women are afraid to rock what they have;their natural hair.

| My first LOW cut for my birthday last year. |
I'm no stranger to taking risks with my hair, in fact I've probably done everything to my hair except probably a "jheri curl" but i'm telling you a few years ago I was super close to it. Currently my hair is cut low and natural for two reasons- my birthday is pretty soon and I personally wanted to embrace myself wholly and enter this year of my life completely accepting of who I am and secondly I did my first relaxer when I was around four years old and I've felt for a long time that it ruined my confidence in my ethnicity me being of several backgrounds but my hair being predominantly "afro".

However when i finally cut the chemicals out of my hair and presented it to my mother the criticism kept rolling in. She said my head looked big my hair looks "hard",(a trini reference to nappy) and a series of criticism. At the end of the day I like my new cut and I feel comfortable with it, I don't have to worry about it falling off randomly... it's mine! I can tug at it how hard when I get angry and it's healthy and beautiful. It's not silky straight like many would hope for, it's more kinky than anything but its convenient. All I gotta do is brush it and go.I'ts absolutely gorgeous and I'm comfortable in my skin.
I'm certainly an advocate for changing up your hair but I believe, that no matter what you do to your hair it should never be because you are ashamed to wear it naturally and having it natural for a while can do a lot not just for your hair but also your self esteem. You are who you are and you should never have any regrets about that.
