Self Expression
I have never in my life seen so many people express their styles and personalities like I have with naturals.
I find natural hair not only unique but extremely diverse in what it can and can’t do. Naturalistas not only take the time to get to know exactly their hair type but create the new normal and embrace their hair texture.
Natural hair is truly a statement piece of its own and doesn’t need much more to make its presence known. I applaud many naturals who have decided to not let society or the ignorance of others keep them from being naturally happy and proud.
As we continue to evolve through this natural hair world I have a new found appreciation for naturals love of self expression through our natural hair.
Timeless Style
People have been natural long before we decided to collectively worldwide create this natural hair phenomenon. Although we are starting to appreciate our natural hair texture, natural hair has always been on the scene.
Beauty is definitely not defined by outward appearances alone but when mixed with confidence and timeless style longevity is written all over that.
I think as more people began to explore and test the waters with the thought of returning natural they will then begin to see why so many people are taking the leap and why it’s here to stay.
Happiness
I noticed when I returned natural my level of happiness shifted. I seemed to have more joy and happiness was banging on my door.
I was leery on letting happiness in due to the fact that I was just trying to learn and grasp the unfamiliar natural hair world.
Eventually I realized that I didn’t have to compete or worry about anything other than how I felt about my hair. Although you can experience hair envy when you are natural, this side effect most of the time gets banished when you begin to love your hair just the way it is.
I told my friend that I thought it was wonderful that so many people are returning natural everyday and that it was refreshing. Although we aren’t defined solely by our looks, what a treat it is when your outside appearance is in agreement with how you feel on the inside and with that she had to agree.
