Wearing my short natural hair during the “ugly stage” has consistently been a love-hate relationship during my hair growth journeys. Y’all I used to despise the phase where my natural hair wasn’t quite short enough for my normal fade, yet not long enough for a full Afro look without heat stretching 😩. Girl, resorting to hats, headwraps, and constantly styling it just to fit in with black social hair norms became overwhelming. So I’m saying F*** it! Ima wear my lil afro the way it looks now! This time around, I’m wholeheartedly embracing every twist and turn of my natural growth, celebrating its diversity in all shapes and sizes 😍. Just water & Shea butter!!! #naturalhair #twahairstyles
