Letters to My Hair – Shakia

By Jenell — May 18, 2011

Dear Thick & Curly


I want you to know that I apologize for all the pain I put you through with heat damage, relaxers and other chemicals. I hope you accept my apology because over the years I realized I took you for granted. So many people asked me why I treat you the way I do and my answer was always the same because you always come back. You have never neglected me yet I was so selfish towards you. For the past few months I have realized how important you are to me and because I would like you to be around for a very long time, I no longer neglect you. I am no longer selfish. I have changed the way I eat and sleep to help you. I no longer damage you using relaxers or heating products. We had a conversation about the color and you agreed that it was ok as long as I took care of you daily and I am keeping my promise to cherish and love you forever. I love you because you are a natural part of me I was born with you and I will die with you. We are best friends to the very end. By the way I am loving your progress you are growing to be so beautiful and I have grown to love you more. We have been best friends for three months and I am looking forward to more.


Truly Yours,
Natural Black Diamond
