I like looking the way I look without changing to try to look like someone I am not.

I always see pretty young ladies with color contacts and hair that they bleached and colored even hair extensions that they don’t need. I always see girls who are already pretty girls and then they change their look. I wish I could say to them you looked prettier before you bleached your hair or put unnatural color contacts in your eyes. I feel like this should change. I feel like black women and women of other backgrounds too have this problem where they don’t realize their pretty women without changing their look. I remember a girl with a curly Afro. I had to stop relaxing my hair and I went natural. All of the relaxers were so strong and they are really bad for all of us. I relaxed my hair for years before I realized how bad it was for me, my brain and my hair. I have a brain illness and I vowed never to relax my hair again. Now I am trying to get into natural hair care. I have to talk to some natural hair care experts. I plan to go to an African hair braiding shop and get cornrows. I love that hair style but I want to get my hair washed.
