Warnings: Mentions of mental illness and self-destruction (nothing too graphic). Some angst but also some fluff. Slang for this part might not be as decade-correct as other pieces because I had a weirdly hard time finding slang for this decade??? Everything’s even More Chaotic.

    You were snuggled up on your couch, enjoying your day off and lazing in the sun shining through your window, when a knock jolted you out of your relaxation zone. Your eyes lazily blinked open and you groaned, glaring in the direction of your front door. You waited for a few moments, hoping whoever it was would go away, only for another knock to come. You huffed softly before taking your time stretching and standing up. You hadn’t even gotten out of your pajamas, so you were in no place to have guests, but when the third round of knocking came, you simply pulled your robe closer to your body and shuffled to the door.

In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.

In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.

Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.
