Journal 6: The road too often travelled
May 30, 2009Of course, I have not made the decision about cutting my hair, but I have been thinking about all of the common misconceptions that are floating around about haircare. From a young age, black women are told, “you wash your hair every two weeks”, without questioning our mother’s/grandmother’s/aunt’s advice. To accompany this advice, we are also told that the consequences are less than positive if we are to stray from the biweekly regime. Seemingly innocuous, this advice has been with me for years. I had to gather the courage to defy the figures in my life. For the past month or so, I washed my hair every three days. EVERY THREE DAYS! One small step for me, no? Not only is my hair softer, it is still manageable even though I do not straighten regularly. The humidity of Indiana is also an encouragement to not put forth any significant effort. Right now, I am content with my decision and my hair. With that being said, I suggest you question your routine and determine if it fits your life or the life of your maternal lineage.
