15. My mother processed our hair

I opted for natural hair from the days of black power movement. Had a big Afro. I remember my mum asking me what I had done to my hair. My response was nothing - this is my hair. She got the point. I was done with that crap forever and never gave a damn about others views.
I started braiding my own hair on campus much to the outcry of many.
Sometimes I’d wear French braids - one or two but mostly it was fine braids. These days It’s much thinner.
