More Than Just Hair

     My hair says a lot about me and since i have started my processed hair strike i have learned a lot about myself that i didn't understand myself. The only reason i so desperately wanted to process my hair was because i wanted to be like my sisters and so many of my family members who have processed their hair. I was  trying to live up to false expectations, maybe not so much false but unrealistic expectations. Everyone in my family has beautiful hair despite the measures then went to get it, whether it be relaxed or not. Having beautiful hair is more of a mental reality. If you can wake up everyday thinking my hair is beautiful  don't make anyone tell you that its not. So many days i find myself saying "my hair is beautiful but its not me", I had to make a change and i did by going on my hair strike. Every time i think of how my hair was and what it was before my strike i think that my strike has more and more of a purpose. My hair is helping me find and love me for me, and I'm fine with that. :)
