"Can I Touch Your Hair"

The next day after getting my hair cut (or getting the B.C), i went to work. I work at a clothing store so the girls I work with are very...how shall i put it--girly. When I came into work, they were amazed with the new do i sported. The African American "black" girls there were very surprised and I can see that they loved the bold new look I had. The other girls (white, Latina) looked as though they never seen hair like such. I felt uneasy when they gravitated towards me and started touching my hair as they were saying "can I touch your hair" like I was an animal at a zoo that they've never seen. This got me thinking about why some people see natural hair as exotic. I ran across LHDC website and saw an article and video titled coincidentally "Can I Touch Your Hair" (<----click on link to view the video)

So the snip snip as you go so you don't have to do the big chop did not work for me...i admit it, i was so anxious to see my curl pattern that i decided to cut my hair. i called up my EB (emergency beautician--as im my hair's beautician) and she said to come by.

the first thing to come out of her mouth was "oh i see you couldn't wait any longer huh" She was so right. I big chopped on February 27th, 2012 Anywho this is me.
