Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes
03/02/2005
I have been wearing the same style with different color combinations for the past seven years and believe I’m over do for a new do. Again not earth shattering to the world at large – but unlike a color change to my glorious locks, I cannot undo this little flight of fancy by setting an appointment with Ms. Clairol.
Every few years I go though this. Once I even cut off all of my hair. Those were the easiest styling months of my life yet it brought along other – ummm —needs – like, wearing makeup (YUK) and making sure I was constantly adorned in the correct gender establishing jewels and clothing. Baldness was such a bitch to up keep.
For a couple of months, I wore my hair in twist. Again, too much attention had to be paid to the style so that it would not dred. Back then, I thought dreads were ugly and wayyy too primitive. This time, I’m thinking of letting it dred.
Possibly my hair is an outward sign of inward growth?
Growing up, I cannot even remember the number of styles my hair was forced to contort into. Styles were selected by what was in, who liked it, who didn’t like it, where I was living…now I could give a crap! I could really care if people like what my hair looks like.
The only real issue that I may have would be with some white people who during all the years I wore BRAIDS could not tell the difference between BRAIDS and DREDS. I’m sure the same idiots will make comments on my braids once I let my hair dred. Guess there is no real hope for stupid.
Since there are no stones around, this thought may pass before the last box is moved.
Peace,

Maybe it has something to do with my recent location move, but I’m having thoughts of changing a couple of things in my little world. Not that any of the thoughts have epic or Divine significance, they just carry a lot of weight in my life. So, number one, after moving the last of the boxed goods into their new homes, I have decided to cut my hair.
