Lifestyle? Journey? Or Destiny?

In my book, That Hair Thing, I tell the story of how I really, really wanted locks. What has developed out of my not-so-simple desire is quite humbling and amazing. I consider it my destiny.   
​​
​While I don’t take credit for the entire natural hair movement, I am extremely happy about the contribution Sisterlocks has made and the lives that have been impacted. I’m gleeful about the dialogue on natural hair. It makes me proud that nappy hair is a feature of ours that’s gaining its rightful place in the world: uncovered, unashamed and unapologetic. We all know that a Black woman’s natural hair can set off a dialogue with so many varying opinions.  Natural hair is a journey and that word, journey, in and of itself, is an indication of the many routes our women have traveled in pursuit of self-acceptance. Our natural hair has been picked, pressed, combed, braided, coiled, debated and rarely celebrated.

​Some people come to their decision to go natural as part of a more natural lifestyle they adopt. It may start with hair, diet, fitness, their religion or spirituality.  Whatever lifestyle choices they make, the common feature is their movement toward a more positive self-concept.  It's funny, but this is sometimes related to age, and may be why natural hair is at times more eagerly embraced by mature women rather than by the younger set.  Is that because when we reach a certain age or level of security it's easier for us to reject those things we no longer see as assets in our lives - including our hair choices? Could be.  I'm just happy that, whoever is leading the way, women of all ages are opting for natural hairstyles.
​
There are others who embark on their natural journey as a phase, a fad or just a style.  Some just wear natural styles as a temporary option maybe for the convenience although this is rarely the case with Sisterlocks.

We’ve had others proclaim that Sisterlocks was their destiny. “I’ve been searching for this kind of freedom all my life. Now, that I’ve found it, I’ll go to the grave with my Sisterlocks!”

What is it for you? Is it your lifestyle, part of your journey or your destiny? You can read my story in That Hair Thing!
