I have 4c hair and I’ve never worried about these things 😭 it’s just about the relationship you have with your hair and I really love mine

Our lives could be carefree if our natural hair in our natural state was our standard.

I think about the girls that get regular silk presses and when they workout, all they do is put their hair in a ponytail and it’s fine 😭

I agree! I loced my hair and it’s been the best decision of my LIFE wish I did it sooner! 😩 But even with locs it’s still maintenance that needs to be done / full wash days/ retwist days etc.

I have 4c hair and 90% of time I'm not thinking of this. I've been natural since 09 and I've learned easy hacks for the gym to keep my hair cute. 1/2

I think part of the easiness comes from them not having to worry about negative perceptions. Like society places thes expectations on people with Afrocentric hair and so we’re made to feel like

I have this convo at least once a quarter. So one else has this problem! It’s so time consuming and Protective styles are $$$.

I understand your stance. But I’d kill for your fullness, the natural beauty and strength of your hair. All I’ve ever done is wish mine was diffeeent too.

Girl I’ve been tied to protective styles UNWILLINGLY because of the gym 😩 the girls who could just wash and pop out with their natural hair every day are so lucky
