I was sitting back thinking about how society as well as individuals tend to view us. I posted a picture of me with a weave and everyone seemed to compliment on how good I looked with the hair. I posted a picture of me with my natural curls and the reaction was different. It made me wonder why.
I think I look beautiful either way but I prefer my hair to weave. Weave makes my head itch more than usual. It also sheds way to much for my liking. I mean every time I go into the bathroom there is more hair in the sink from a weave than my natural hair. Oh how gross!
The other thing is how am I telling my daughter to love herself when I am not loving me. Loving my hair means loving my body. Yes I am plus size but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't be healthy. I don't think you have to be model thin to be healthy. Besides, everyone is not designed to be like that any way.
Eating right and exercising, I can still be a plus size diva and have gorgeous natural hair to boot. I am knocking anyone for how they see themselves. NO. I am just stating that it is okay to be you no matter what. I choose to be me with my natural curls and my plus size body.
