.i love my hair
I love my hair.
I love it's tight curvature and format.
I love the volume it has.
I love how he looks when it's without definition.
And I sure do love my frizz. It's natural, God knows my work on keeping it hydrated.
And I don't need your opinion on what my hair should look like (I know your only advice is to clog my head with cream until it looks 10% like straight hair; I'm tuned 'bout your tricks)
Fuck, I love my hair.
And no white supremacy can change that.
Fire on racists. <3

I started planning on this poetry this dawn while reflecting about the visibility of natural hairs on social media
and I tell y'all girlies really stopped being slaves of straighteners to be slaves of creams and “perfect hair” myth
(which btw is just creating the standard of extremely defined waves/curls/coils that tries to imitate straight hairs)
and that got curvature heads extremely frustrated
y'all please understand:
FRIZZ👏🏽 AIN'T👏🏽 ALWAYS👏🏽LACK👏🏽 OF👏🏽 HAIRCARE👏🏽
Frizz is a natural aspect of hairs with curvature SPECIALLY CURLY TO KINKY HAIRS
srsly ever since I stopped trying to define my hair (aka stopped brushing it with my mom🤡) I felt so much more free
it felt so good omg
so my honest advice is: accept y'all's frizzes be free
you will save cream and avoid a lot of stress
and your self steem will go 📈📈📈
