I've never been one to wear weaves. I guess I've never even been one to wear artificial nails, or anything else artificial for that matter. That's been my own preference. I surely don't knock those who do. So, for years, I made do with the THICK hair that God gave me. My stylist told me that I had the hair every beautician loved, and the hair every client wanted. I had a head full of thick, long, shiny hair. Though, not artificial, it wasn't mine. My own natural hair had been manipulated. It had been brought into subjection through the use of harsh chemicals and forced straight, so it would behave the way society wanted it to behave. I cut off society's mirror image of me, and since then, I've redefined me, "De'Vonna Pittman," the way God created me, with thick, coily, kinky, beautiful, hair! Lots of it!
I never thought I'd do the big chop and live to tell about it ;-), but I have! I love my hair so much these days, and I haven't had one single day of regret. It's now been five months since I cut off my long, straight, lucious relaxed locks and I'm still in heaven. My only regret is...not doing it earlier.
P.S. Remember to pick up a copy of my memoir, "My Pretty and Its Ugly Truth" at amazon.com, Kindle or Nook. Check out my website . https://www.createspace.com/3775710
