HC one of the guys at my job told me that I was crazy to cut off all my hair?
HC he said that I was being "wasteful" because lots of black women can't grow hair that long?
HC being wasteful is throwing away a perfectly good peice of chicken, not getting a hair cut?
HC I had to laugh at that?
HC he didn't find it funny?
HC he said that he won't let his wife cut her hair and he doesn't even like it when she gets a trim?
HC it's just hair?
HC why has our hair become such a big part of who we are?
HC I know some women who define themselves in terms of their hair?
HC I have a friend who has long hair, but it's very thin and stringy?
HC our hairdresser has suggested that she get it cut to help it grow better?
HC she refused?
HC I asked her why?
HC she said because if I don't have my hair, who will I be? I've always been the girl with long hair and I'm not ready to give that up?
HC I had to tell her, "Sistagirl, if all you have is your hair, then your hair is not the problem."

HC the evolution of our hair is really interesting?
HC I'm reading about it in

HC it really is just hair?
HC if you already have long hair, (from my experience) if you cut it, it will grow back?!
HC I don't know why people are so scurred?
HC it's less maintenance?
HC I am still getting used to what to do with it?
HC I am getting more used to it and what it does?
HC it's such and interesting experience that I can't quite explain?
HC I never thought I would look at and analyze my hair the way I do?
HC I have yet to have a day when I was unhappy about my decision?
HC it's only been a month, but I am so impatient about it growing?
HC I want two strand twists?
HC I can't wait?
HC I guess that's all for today (well, for now, lol)?
