So Today I made the decision to cut my hair!

I never thought I would ever cut my hair. Honestly for a long time I placed alot of my value in my hair. Worrying that if I didn’t have it I wouldn’t look feminine enough. Being a black girl, having long “good hair” is highly praised and the goal. I spent many years hating my hair texture and trying everything to make it grow. Wasnt until I was 21 years old did I even feel comfortable leaving the house with my natural hair (without a perm, without it straight, without a weave, and without braids). It took me 21 years to be comfortable with my OWN hair that grows out of my head. Even when I told ppl I wanted to cut it, they would question me and put doubtful thought in my head. But not this time! At 24 years old, for the first time in my life I can truely say Im comfortable with me. All parts of me! No doubt, No insecurities. I’m truely entering this decade with a new outlook on my self worth. I finally feel free ✨

Thank you to everyone for your positive comments! I really appreciate it 😭❤️
