Personal Narrative: Mark My Hair

Improved Essays
Mark my words, it’s cool, I think it’s great when girls shave their heads. A shaved head is not for me.

I stopped every couple of minute to fix him because he would start to slide down and my arms were so weak and tired.…

    Dating back to slavery, kinky-haired naturals were viewed as second-class citizens. Women would use a metal hot comb to straighten their kinky hair with excessive heat or lye to chemically straighten it.

It wasn’t until the 1960s women began embracing their natural curl again, at that time most natural women wore afros. Alas, the natural hair movement died down again and women chemically straightened their hair up until the mid-2000s.…
