I have long curly hair that's a lot like yours. I remember hating it as a kid but by the time I was in my 20s, yes, I had long hair back then too; the women I dated loved it and I began embracing it.
I've loved and cared for it ever since.
Thanks for sharing this. It was very relatable to my experience and I'm sure it will be for many others who have had similar experiences with their hair.
I could have written a nearly identical story. Growing up with curls, and everyone telling me how “lucky” I was, felt like a cosmic joke. It took 25 years to learn to love my hair.

So much trauma associated with hair! Its crazy to think about.
It really is.

Ugh, I wish I would have loved it sooner, but I am glad I am here now.
I've always wished I had more hair and that it wasn't so absolutely straight. What is it about hair? Your hair looks great!
We think "it's just hair" but so much history, culture, and trauma is tied to hair, unfortunately. Thanks, Judy! 🤍
