Ladies don\'t give up!!
I don't know if there is anyone else feeling how I am, but occassionally I think that growing AA hair to great lengths is virtually impossible. Now I'm not knocking those women who were born with long hair and still have it, but sometimes it becomes unbelievable for someone ( like myself ) who wasn't born with long hair of any kind to all of a sudden find a way to obtain it!! And I was thinking about giving up, but then I thought about it. We as African Americans or any descent/race for that matter have the capabilities of growing hair just as long as anyone else. It is not that our hair isn't growing, but finding ways to keep it. And one thing that I say is don't try to obtain long hair for someone else's satifaction, but first want long hair for yourself. I think that if we think of it in that manner then we would appreciate it more.
Long hair is defined as: beautiful, sexy, mystique, appealing, and woman.
Whether curly, wavy, relaxed, texturized or natural, long hair is beautiful and to work hard at something so wonderful (such as this) and finally obtain is a blessing and a building block to character. And to end it I say: Don't give up!! It is the products, detailed regimens, the remedies, CO washes, reconstructors, good and bad times and most of all the support from forums like this that keep me going. And hopefully writing this will help someone like me continue the journey of long hair.
