Gurl, That Hair Do!

I have actually spoke about doing this blog a good deal before, but it's taken me almost two years to actually get the inspiration to write it. While reading a good friend of mine's blog I realized that sometimes black women don't receive the credit due them. So here's to you Beautiful, Brown Descendants of Mother Africa. It's always been so amazing to see the many different ways that Black girls, and women as a whole use their hair as a means of self expression. I happen to love it. It's one of the things that makes Black women so appealing to me. I realize other ethnicities have different hairstyles that coincide with their culture, but I think that our women do it best. Being a boy from the South, I am always privileged when I get to go to the Cosmetologist Exhibition that is the Bronner Bros. Hair Show. It's held every year here in Atlanta, Georgia. All the big stars come out to hit the runway, perform, and check out some of the latest "follicle fashion." I mean, there's up dos, down dos, twists, braids, gels, all kinds of crazy colored dyes, flips, bobs, bangs! You get the idea. And more than anywhere else we can see all of these styles sported so brilliantly in our own back yard. So whether your hair is in an afro puff or a silky relaxer: here's to you. You foxxy, foxxy ladies. You're one of a kind. The best that's out there.
