Personal Narrative: My Hair
My hair is force to be reckoned with. Its cascading fury flurries around everything, my shoulders, my back, the chair that catches it in its unwavering maw. It’s strong, it lasts through any torture I force upon it. It falls out in clumps and chunks when I tug and pull too much, but mom says that’s normal because my hair is so thick. I have the fullest head of hair in the family, she likes to tease. She’ll affectionately twirl it between her fingers and create little ringlets that fall down and tickle my chin because I didn’t pull it up into a messy ponytail.
People love to run a comb through my hair and tell me it looks so beautiful, they wish they had that color. I know that it won’t last. Because dad will run a hand through his hair and

    When you use a hot comb on me, you have to tell me when you’re going to put it to my head. You can’t just use it, and then I get burned. Plus, I don’t like it when I get the back of my hair done because I don’t take it very well. So, please if you do my hair with something hot like that, tell me when you’re going to put it to my head.…

    My mother is the most caring person I have ever met, and will probably ever know. She has dark, silky hair that I wish I would've inherited. My hair is mousy brown, dull, and impossible to work with. At least it's hidden under a bonnet. I think I'm my mother's favorite, though she would never admit it. I like to help her around the house, and she tells me I say a lot of things that get her thinking. I really believe that I could convince her to leave with me.…

    The documentary reversed my notion that "nappy hair is bad hair.” But more importantly, it changed the way I felt about mine. The Eurocentric standard had affected me so much, I willingly damaged my hair and confidence in the process of it. Uncovering the world of magazines, and tabloids I realized that I wanted fit into the idolized Eurocentric ideal to feel accepted. However, after viewing the documentary I realized that instead of trying to assimilate in the Eurocentric society, I should accept my curls, because that is something that is intertwined with who I am…

    Ever since I was a young girl I’ve had an interest in skincare. Of course, I loved playing with makeup, but what I enjoyed most was the understanding of skin. Why does our skin react to certain things? How do we prevent the bad reactions from happening? Why does everyone’s skin react differently compared to each other? These were few of the endless questions I would inquire my mother about everyday. As always my mother never disappoints, and she always was able to answer every single question. Due to my mother’s knowledge of skincare, I was inspired to obtain the same knowledge for something I’m so passionate about.…

    I wanted to recreate the look of the braid. My grandmother made it look so simple. The momentum of her hands was quick, and before I knew it the braid was finished. I remember thinking that this couldn’t be too difficult, as I reflected on her brief demonstration. I was eager to try when I picked up the strands of hair, my hands felt tight, my fingers were stiff, and the position of my hands felt foreign. I picked up the comb and stared into the mirror, I grabbed chunks of my hair and started twisting; the hair slipped from my short stubby fingers over and over again. I became frustrated and discouraged after several minutes, and for the first time, I felt defeated. This process was going to take time and I needed to be patient.…

    Overall, my hair received positive comments and compliments. I received a few negative comments, but they don’t matter. I love my hair and that’s is the only thing that matters. I look younger than 18 with short hair. So, I often get asked about my age. I even got told I looked 12 years old a few time. I have got mistaken as a boy once, which I’m not quite sure why. Mostly, I received positive comments and…

    When I was in second grade my grandmother asked the hairdresser to cut my long blonde hair to my shoulders. I was unaware of this conversation until after the woman had already begun cutting my hair. When I got home with my newly cut hair I went straight up to my room and called my dad hysterically crying, telling him about how grandma was a monster and had all my hair cut off. His initial consoling, telling me how he was sure that it looked fabulous and that we could find great ways to style my new hair did not work. He asked me then if I thought that grandmas heart was in the right place. Of course not I thought why would she ever want to go behind my back to have my haircut. Thinking back now, I remember my hair before this haircut. I did…

    My Hair! My hair always has a mood, sometimes it could be a bad mood, or it could be a good mood. But most of the time it is in between both. Everyday I wake up and it is either frizzy or all of it is straight up. That makes me put gel in it to keep it down, but that doesn’t work all the time. Now that I think about it, my hair is always in a bad mood, it is like a grumpy old man. My hair always tells what it wants to do, I can never tell my hair what I want to do, my hair always gets its way. My hair is soooo annoying. My hair is like grass. It just grows and grows whatever way it wants to. My hair is stupid in a way. 25 percent of hair is always up, and the other 75 percent is always down. My hair is stubborn, it gets me boiling mad sometimes…

    When I was fifteen, I had my first hair cut. I was too anxious because my parents didn't want me to have short hair. I was the only girl in my family so they all consider on me to be more feminine. I told the hairdresser, my situation and she said don't worry I will try my best not to cut much on your hair and I trust which I shouldn't! Unfortunately, she did cut it as much as she could. When I looked it in the mirror, I found myself so different and I didn't know how to show myself to my family and how their reaction will…
