Conversations from the "Write On Chronicles"

* Ouch, that hurts.
- It should. Our hair is not meant to be combed. Sit still.
* Yeah, that�s easy for you to say. Your hair is locked.
- Do you want flat twists or braids?
* Braids.
- Up or down?
* Up.
- I can�t believe after two years of wearing your hair natural, you still don�t know how to care for it.
* I will admit I don�t. I wore perms for 15 years. Going natural is a major change.
- But don�t you like the freedom of natural hair?
* Yes. I don�t worry about the weather. And my hair looks and feels healthier. It just the combing that hurts.
- Again, our hair is not meant to be combed. Period. The coils in our hair create locks naturally.
* You mean I don't need to go to a lockitian to start hairlocks?
- No. We can start locks by simply washing our hair. Our hair creates beautiful attractive hairlocks that can be worn in braids, african rolls (formerly french), or ponytails.
* That's great!
- It truly ends the enslavement of hair woes.
* Is it true perming puts a blue film on the brain?
- I�m not sure, but I�ve heard that too.
* Why doesn�t more sisters embrace their natural beauty?
- Euro-society has made them erase the knowledge of themselves. Like you, they don�t know how to care for it. They feel perms are more convenient plus brothers lean more toward perm heads.
* Ha! Most brothers just cut their hair off.
- Hair is a big issue for black females but a lot of people don�t understand what we deal with. I know God doesn�t make mistakes. I love the curls. There. How do you like it?
* It�s cute. Thank you.
- You�re welcome. So are you on your way to class?
* Yeah.
- Call me when you get home or tomorrow. Peace and love.
* Ok. Peace and love.

Wear Your Crown

Wear your crown
proudly
Let it flourish
in His truth

Be wise
Know the love
of Nazarite pride
...our soft thorns...

Wear your crown
proudly
Everyday
Wild and loose

Curly hair
that knits together
uncombed
with shiny hues

Wear your crown
