I loved having my hair straight when I was younger and either pressed/curled or relaxed. Since I've gone natural I've only straightened it once. Halfway through the process I looked at myself like "Why am I doing this? I don't even like straight hair anymore." If I'd had a hand mirror, I would've chucked it aside just like she did.
I never saw the beauty in my natural hair as a child and always wanted it straight. I look at DD’s hair and cry at the thought of it getting pressed (let alone a relaxer)
