Chereads / Diary of a black girl / Chapter 6 - 2.The hair

Chapter 6 - 2.The hair

Waking up every morning with a messy hair was like a nightmare you woke up from sweating like a goat huh .

my hair was curly but I style it in the afro way ,I hated my life through out junior year of high school because most kids at my school were white ,my hair was always making me so shy of myself,

chica can you believe I was being chased out of the cheerleading group because of my afro .

Immediately I got home that day I just took my laptop went online and search for the perfect hairstyle for a black girl and immediately I did my searchings an afro style just popped up in my screen,

I was so mad and I started yelling and at the same time i calm down and continued with my search,

finally i saw something very unique and attractive and i clicked on it.

Also saved it so icould show my hairstyle

immediately I went downstairs and told Zorah I was on my way out to do something about my hair,Toby just texted me saying -

Him:hey

Me:sup

Hm:huh nothing much

Me:on my way to the salon

Him:I thought you got a new style this week .

Me:I did but people hated me for it

Him :you aren't doing your hair for them are you?

I didn't reply Toby's message again because I knew where this conversation will take us to (ha ha ha that motivational quote will come from him if I did reply ),

I call him a preacher, cause when you are doing something wrong Toby will always tell you the truth.

finally I got to the salon and the hairstylist was so shocked to see me ,she was like i made your hair on a Monday and today is just Wednesday what's going on .

And immediately I took off my scrunchies my hair popped and fell right on my shoulders huh ,in my family among my sisters I was with the longest hair,

finally I showed my stylist the style she laughed and said oh I see where this is coming from now and I was just surprised by her reaction and I was like Mrs Leo what's wrong and she answered me saying,

Girl you don't have to be like others or allow them define who you are and as some point I was like I did not just escape Toby's preaching and now Mrs leo huh!!!

After what she said I just told her to braid my hair with a golden extension which she did and she continued preaching saying people don't make fun of you because they are better ,they make fun of you because you are better than them.
