I recently permed my hair. I keep getting compliments and everyone telling my how beautiful I look. How nice my hair looks. How I look so much better this way. Nobody ask me how it feels to be "pretty" how it feels to look this way. I feel like I willingly stood aside and watched my hair get raped, then appropriated and white washed. Anything that was left was erased. I am too much of an activist to be okay with how my hair is now. But I am too indoctrinated to love my hair the way it is naturally.
