A Curly Cut Healed My Relationship to My Black Hair
Like many Black girls, I had a complicated relationship with my hair growing up. For the majority of my childhood, I never really knew what my natural curls looked like. Once I was old enough to get a relaxer, my appointment was scheduled. Getting my hair permed was a constant in my life for over a decade.

I didn’t let anyone see a singular wave or any trace of texture until freshman year of college. My difficult relationship with my…

My rosy, chubby cheeks were pinched and kissed, and the folds on my arms and legs were cherished. Yet, as I grew older, what once made me beautiful suddenly became an issue for everyone.

These compliments were conditional — something I had to earn or at least wait for. The ‘flattering’ remarks I received mostly sounded like, “When you lose all that baby weight, you’re going to be a stunner,”…
