My 'Fro Fancy

Aaaahhhh look at that!! *googly eyes* .... Soooo I have a not so secret obsession with afros. Yes, I love all things natural hair and well, why wouldn't I? It's beautiful.

From the earliest of times African women have worn it in various creative ways, woven, twisted and braided in styles that always seemed to make a statement very hard to miss

The Afro... timeless! love it, love it, loooove ittt!!!

The headwrap is something black women have wound around their hair since centuries ago. I like how it sits on our heads like a crown. It's a style that can be made to suit any occasion

But what I admire the most is how our mothers care(d) and groom(ed) for our hair. I feel like it is upto the parents to teach their daughters how to love their hair and care for it and make them know it's a very special and beautiful feature

Wouldn't it have been something if we had had black barbies right from the beginning? In different shades of black and with different hair textures.

Seeing little natural haired kids just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside... it really does.

So much creativity flows through us so that even with all our similarities we still manage to have our own separate and unique identities

And it should be known that:

And I wear it with pride! head wraps, afros and all

And with all the different hair types, colors and textures of natural hair I cannot get enough of it. So I guess I have no option but to continue to obsess over it
