@mehziiah: conversations about internalized texturism are SO important so we can know that we’re not alone and remove all the shame we have about these things so we can actually grow from it. black girls/women/people deserve to feel at home in our bodies. we deserve to feel the wind in our hair. shout out to @sshozxox #naturalhair #exwigwarrior #whydoclownshaveafros #choicefeminism
As a black woman who has done everything on my hair to hide and manage my texture sister locs saved me it gave me a whole new identity😌.

our choices do not exist in a vacuum. its a result of social conditioning and we need to break free from that

i’ve started leaning towards wigs that resemble my natural texture or still curly, but I also love my natural hair and take good care of it.

I actually wore a twist out to six flags the last time I went it was so fun and kinda freeing 😭 I agree so much about choices not existing in a vacuum, sure everyone should be allowed to do what they want but a lot of it is social conditioning

totally understand where you’re coming from I went through this when I was invited to a concert, but I almost didn’t go because I didn’t know how to do my natural hair. It was damaged and hard to work with because it was damaged. Not because of my hair texture or because anything is wrong with my hair. It was a lot so I get you sister.

I also believe there is so much nuance to the conversation. Multiple things can be true at once. Love this perspective.

thinking about our hair does prevent us from being grounded in our bodies and present!! it's a constant source of distress

This is so true, I’m tired of wondering if my lace is starting to show anytime I get too hot and sweaty like wigs are so exhausting

As soon as I locced my hair I had this realization and it rly is so freeing 😭 I didn’t even realize how much energy and self esteem I was putting into trying to style my hair against what it wanted to do everyday until I stopped
