Back in high school the kids did not like my afro they used to tease me so I went and put a Hair relaxer what some of us call Perm I did not like it but I had to do it so they could stop teasing and beleive me it works black people in general loves my straight hair but caucations loves it they are admire by it they want to touch it and I'm proud to let them. I'm 35 years old and just got my afro back and I'm loving it. It is easy for me to maintain just wash and go the trick is for me I have to wash it every morning I do not comb or blow dry it I just let it be but once every 3 months I wash and blow dry it and trim it. - Goddess Marie Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:05:52 +0100 http://www.thecoilreview.com/tcr-final/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=344:i-am-my-hair&catid=4:the-pieces&Itemid=22#comment-514 i love my natural hair and wouldnt have it any other way!!!!! black is beautiful baby! - briana Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:17:26 +0100 http://www.thecoilreview.com/tcr-final/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=344:i-am-my-hair&catid=4:the-pieces&Itemid=22#comment-477 I LOVE IT!

I was ummhmming all while reading this. This article spoke the TRUTH! I AM my hair just as much as I AM my beautiful brown skin and proud to be so. Your identity is your identity, period, and we need to stop altering it. Your physical feature let the world know your ethnicity and who you are. Black folks need to stop hiding their God given features. Stop hating, start loving, and come out of that mental oppression . WE are our skin, our nose, and our HAIR! 8) - Shay Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:54:58 +0100 http://www.thecoilreview.com/tcr-final/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=344:i-am-my-hair&catid=4:the-pieces&Itemid=22#comment-470 I really like this post. I liked the song also but I did not totally agree with it. My lyrics would say I am not the stigma society puts on my hair. Black women who wear their hair in its natural form are some of the most confident women I know. It takes a certain amount of courage and the ability to handle persecution. I know, who knew hair could cause so much uproar, but it does. - Je'Nae Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:53:59 +0100 http://www.thecoilreview.com/tcr-final/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=344:i-am-my-hair&catid=4:the-pieces&Itemid=22#comment-457 It's been a month since I "BC"(15 month transition) and I am loving it!. I have been rockin it in its natural state, but stiil feel a tinge of insecurity when I go places. "I LOVE BIG HAIR" and want to be truly free to do me without having to endure the ignorant stares. Great article, thanks! - FreeToBeMe04 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:36:27 +0100 http://www.thecoilreview.com/tcr-final/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=344:i-am-my-hair&catid=4:the-pieces&Itemid=22#comment-451 Having natural hair has givrn me a new type of self confidence. - Lydia Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:58:09 +0100 http://www.thecoilreview.com/tcr-final/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=344:i-am-my-hair&catid=4:the-pieces&Itemid=22#comment-443 that was all i need to hear;D - anitra Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:01:44 +0100 http://www.thecoilreview.com/tcr-final/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=344:i-am-my-hair&catid=4:the-pieces&Itemid=22#comment-437 Great article!! My natural hair is definitely part of what makes me who I am. - Marie Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:22:32 +0100 http://www.thecoilreview.com/tcr-final/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=344:i-am-my-hair&catid=4:the-pieces&Itemid=22#comment-425 Amen! I love this site. I'm so glad that I decided to make the change to wear my natural hair. Even more, I am glad that I work in a place that is diverse enough to not make a big deal of my transition from the "norm" of relaxed hair to the seemingly unconventional look of my natural tresses. - Sandy Coils Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:25:22 +0100 http://www.thecoilreview.com/tcr-final/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=344:i-am-my-hair&catid=4:the-pieces&Itemid=22#comment-420 I love this. Very well said and mirrors how many naturals feel about their hair. It's hard to explain sometimes, so it's refreshing to see it put into words so well. Thanks! :) - GG Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:32:21 +0100 http://www.thecoilreview.com/tcr-final/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=344:i-am-my-hair&catid=4:the-pieces&Itemid=22#comment-417 I totally agree with your points. My best friend and I argue all the time. She is natural but presses her hair every week, while I wear my hair in its natural state. It is difficult sometimes because of the society we live in, but I believe that its my crown and glory; an affirmation of who I am, my uniqueness. I love it, and I'll continue rocking it out. - Shirah Muhamut Mon, 02 Nov 2009 06:47:08 +0100 http://www.thecoilreview.com/tcr-final/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=344:i-am-my-hair&catid=4:the-pieces&Itemid=22#comment-413 I totally agree! :) - GvannD Mon, 02 Nov 2009 05:44:08 +0100 http://www.thecoilreview.com/tcr-final/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=344:i-am-my-hair&catid=4:the-pieces&Itemid=22#comment-403 Excellent post to which I wholeheartedly agree! - Trai Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:07:57 +0100
