bravo girl I loved that take! I used to hate my curls too when I was young, especially since kids made fun of me lol but now I love them and I love afro hair too it s endearing
Congratulations, I have been natural for 3 years now, Ever since I was little my mum will perm my hair, I am glad to see more black women embrace their natural hair, the struggle is real and what hair type are you by the way?
Great read! It's funny, I have naturally water straight hair but it's always been thin and I can never do much with it. I always wanted curly hair because it always looks thick and bouncy and cute. Everyone's different I suppose :)
That’s the main issue that Black girls living in a white world has to deal with. I would have puffs back when I was in elementary (like afro pigtails for those who don’t know) I got a lot of comments like “it looks like they’re bushes on your head” my hair used to be long and healthy before I got a relaxer. That one time burnt off half of my hair, never again. I now wear braids and they fit me better than straight hair. Also what’s so special about blondes, it’s just hair but yellow.
In this world, money and success are greatly desired. But you need a job. It's hard to get a job when you look.. different. I know how this feels. My hair barely touches my shoulders, and it is a 4C type hair (look up hair types). I felt like a freak, and a weirdo- I too wanted that sleek, shiny, golden, goddess-like hair. Being unique is a blessing, but in this world it's hard to make your way when you look different. *sigh*
Since I have naturally straight hair I prefer straight but I know a lot of girls who have naturally curly hair and do things to have them straight this hurt their hair a lot and don't make them more prettier at all

I was bullied into relaxing my hair when I was younger. I love my natural hair despite people portraying afro hair as ugly and unkempt.
I know. I hate that people think that way about curly hair.

I used to hate my curls too when I was young, especially since kids made fun of me lol

Lovely take! <3 I love my curls too but it gets tangled way too easily 😔
Yeah that's one of the downsides lol
My hair is a mixture of curly and puffy. I am going to start loving it now, because of this take. 😜
Well done! 👏
Woo! Thank you *high five* ✋
Damn this makes me feel bad for straightening my hair last night 😂 I love my curls too but straight looks good as well.
You can do what you want with your hair girl. This was applied to me lol
It's a really good college essay 😊

I actually tried flat ironing my hair today but it failed. I was still happy though, because I love my natural hair. It is a part of me.
Embrace those curls :)
I notice their is a movement thats growing of people loving the natural way they where born which is super good. I hope it gets bigger
Why are black girls ashamed of their hair and often get it straightened out?

If you read the take you would know why.

I've always had long, golden, very straight hair and I always envied girls with voluminous curls.
My hair was like that too! Except mines for straightened and when it gets wet, it doesn't go back to its natural state
Really good essay - Very enjoyable read, well done
Thank you!
Wow, its after reading articles like this, that makes me realize how much beauty standards affect people (especially young girls).
Makes me glad that besides taking showers and brushing my teeth i never really gave a fuck about my looks
:) Amazing MyTake. :)
Thank you :)
Well done Mytake Rain! *applauds*
Thanks girly :)
Wish I had curly hair 😍
I hate my hair😡
Don't hate your hair texture :( that was he whole point of my story
Well I'd love to have afro hair while being white
My cousin has them and I feel jelly haha😜
That's cool I have seen white people with curly hair :) looks great
The grass is always greener on the other side huh?
@helloitsmethere well I don't know I just like curly hair
Everyone wants what someone else has, it's human nature. Don't hate your though. Straight hair is cool as well.
@Guy83 yeah that's true
And thanks😊
And I would really love that curly hair... :(
Love your hair it's beautiful
