It's all about Self Acceptance
March 10, 2021One of the things I love about black women’s hairstyles is versatility. We can chop and change from day to week to month - natural, straight, curly, braids, long, short or shaved. I love being able to look completely different with the change of a hairstyle or in my case, a wig. No matter what style we wear, surely all of it should be celebrated if we're equally proud to wear our natural hair out too?
Make no mistake, it’s taken me a really long time to get here and be in this place. But now I’m here, I’m celebrating it. Of course, there will be insecurities, and no one is ever at 100% when it comes self-worth or self-love. This is will always be ‘work in progress’. Acceptance, however, is a destination I have arrived at. And it feels good.

Really enjoyed this blog Isa. It's like you've found your voice as well as your self-acceptance. And I agree with you, being able to change your hair daily is all part of the fun. Once upon a time perhaps we were conforming to ideals but I think we've taken back out power and now women who can't change up their hair as freely as us are envious! People always say that to me anyhow... 😂
