A Little Less Hair

Tweet

Amyra (my niece, far left), you might have noticed got a haircut. She wants it chin length, but when you’ve had long braids like she had (with African American hair) you can’t just unbraid the hair, and cut it when you want the change she does. So they had to let it be short, and then gradually grow it to chin length. At that point, she wants to wear it in bigger curls, she tells me. I always tell her and Annelyn (niece, right) to protect the curls! Born with naturally curly hair, I love curls. Can you believe with her long braids it took 7 hours per hair appointment? Every six weeks. Now, it just takes two and a half, and is more tolerable for one of her parents to sit through. I could not sit in a hair salon that long, but you do what you have to for your kids. Even when it comes to their hair.
