Beautiful people, I'm so sorry about my continued absence
here. I have nothing to say more than life happened out here and I've been
living the life. Anyway, I think now that I'm finally able, I should address
this. Please what's the big deal with a lady wearing her hair natural and low?
I'm really not sure what the deal is with a lady choosing to cut her own hair off. I decided to take that route a few months back and I haven't had the last
of it till today. First, I walked to the barber's shop and asked for a haircut
but the barber opted for a lecture on Nigerian culture blah blah blah. He literally spent over twenty minutes scolding
/ advising me not to forget my roots / culture. My question to him was,
"don't you see girls around here with short hair" and he confidently
told me, "yeah I do but they're from here and it's their culture and not
yours". I was in shock! This was the most appalling thing I had heard in
forever.
Like seriously, what's this about short hair isn't a Nigerian thing?
Like the barber's lecture wasn't enough, my friends who saw the picture on my bbm took their turn. They blasted me with questions about why I cut my hair. Most of them literally felt so
sorry for me like I had some problem. I was / still dazed. I didn't understand
the whole drama around my haircut. I finally went back home for holiday and more drama awaited me there.
