For this challenge we had to do a lo about our hair. I have had many hairstyles during my life, but I love my hair now. I wear locs and for me nothing compares to having natural, chemical free hair. I love being a black woman, there are so many different things I can do with my hair. A couple of years ago I cut my locs real short after growing them since 2004. It became difficult to maintain long hair with my medical conditions and physical limitations. I have been enjoying every stage of my hair journey. Although my hair is getting long again, I do not think I will cut it this time. I pray for the strength to maintain it well. Here is the lo I made:
I made the collage a while ago as an exercise in learning to embrace all parts of me. I can recall having love notes to myself posted all over my apartment. I am fearfully and wonderfully made...but finally my soul does know it right well.
