Negative People
OK! So I announced to some people that I was going natural and they were not happy at all! One person, who should support me in whatever decision that I make(this person is family), made the most negative comments. I was so hurt but I have to realize that that person does not think outside the "box"! She thinks that everything that is not within the standard of beauty is ugly. One of her comments to me was that I would look like a fool and it would not look good on me because I don't have "good hair". OK, who defines "good hair" anyway? That is part of the problem with society today! But I have many supporters also who wish they could do it and think what I am doing is great! I am becoming my OWN person and I don't care what anybody says! I am doing this for me and I want to have strong healthy NATURAL hair! So this just goes to show that not everybody will be in your corner! Stay TRUE to yourself and you will love yourself more if you do!

I understand how you feel. I have people in my family who aren't completely happy with my decision and when I said I wanted to cut my hair, it was completely out of the question.
However, my mother, who at first just dismissed me, now is like 'its your hair' and she's being helpful.
It definitely a thing where you have to be your own person i think. lol
I am so sorry to hear this.. I actually can't believe that.. Without being disrespectful ( and out of curiosity).. could this be something that is more common in the US (if that is where you are from?)? I am in the UK and I can't relate to this at all. I don't even understand why people would not "accept" what someone else choses to do with their hair :o I mean it is not like they really have a say.. Anyway good luck on your journey !! xxx
I am transitioning btw.. & I am following you. Looking forward to more posts from u!
