Yesterday I saw one of my friends from college (early nineties). Back in the day I sported above the ear hair styles. I was ALWAYS in the hair place and could ALWAYS find a beautician that wanted to cut my hair into a short style. I happened to like myself in shorter hair and I thought that it was less maintenance than longer hair.
About a year ago (after that ***** overprocessed my hair and it fell out) I started getting serious with the maintenance of my hair. Now my hair is almost chin length. The big and most important thing is that I have a lot of body and shine. I do it myself and I am amazed at how healthy it looks. I receive lots of compliments on it.
Yesterday I was at the mall and I saw one of my college friends. She ran over to me and said, "OH MY GOD!!!! You look so pretty. Girl your hair is SOOOOO long. Is it a weave?"
Ain't that about a *****?
I was so insulted. This is a girl who has had shoulder and bra strap length since I have known her. She knows that my hair isn't long. Also, I would be wasting my money if I got a weave that looks like this.
I know her...I have seen her hate on other folks for much less and I am 100 percent certain that she was trying to say some **** to bring me down a peg. She would often make little comments "women look better with longer hair" or "I am glad that I don't have thin hair" then look at my obvious hurt and say "I didn't mean YOU."
I looked at her and said, "Dag. Now you know that my hair isn't long. My hair was short BY CHOICE. You make it sound like I had that kind of hair that COULDN'T grow. Then you are acting like my hair was so short that you could smell my scalp. No. It isn't a weave So, how are YOU doing?"
My mother was like, "You overreacted. " I don't think I did given our history. She is just that ***** that likes to make people feel bad about themselves. It worked back then, but it ain't working now!
Man the issue is much bigger than hair. That is just a symptom.
Thanks for listening.
