My hair is naturally straight and I wish it were curly.
My father loves it when I wear it down.
He doesn’t like when I tie it back.
Sometimes I try to make it curl, prompting my mother to call me mankoosha [frizzy-headed].
“Don’t style it that way again.”
I like trying different styles.
I sometimes wear it down or tie back parts of it.
I try to make it curl sometimes and other times I leave it straight.
I’m pleased with it in any form.
I love my hair.
I love getting compliments about it.
Even though I don’t always take care of it.
I wish all girls would love their hair regardless of whether it’s wavy, curly, straight, long, or short.
We’re all special.
