"Not A Fashion Statement"
  by Cyn-Cyn


My natural hair is not a fashion statement.
i didnt intend to follow any trend-
My fro is a reflection of my soul.
the outward expression of that which is inside my dome.

My natural hair is not a history lesson-
don't call me neo-soul or afro -centric.
My name is New Inspiration -

I dont resemble any black panther.
my hair is a symbol of my present, the right now-
and following that will be my future.

My natural hair is not for you to touch.
for those who wish they could have it-
good luck !

From permed to natural is a long process-
cut -it- off,
wait for it to grow,
and then youll see-
how mentally and spiritually strong you are-

My natural hair may look like a struggle to some-
but its never a problem when i pick it out right
or
i can wash and go.
.....and.....if need be-
ill bust out the hot comb in order to conform-
and look like my counterparts.


My natural hair is not going to be locked
so dont assume that im contemplating to do so.
locking it or perming it-
aren't my only two options .

I have so many different styles I can choose from.
now i see why -
people think its a statement of fashion

But My natural hair is not a fashion statement.
i didnt intend to follow any trend.
My fro is a reflection of my soul.
the outward expression of that , which is within-

Natural is beautiful

Well well, natural beauty is always admired. It teaches those who toil and struggle day in and month to month that beauty isn\'t stashed in perms and other such products. That as much work is put into maintaining that look, that connection to chemical beauty, could instead be placed in hair grease and pic. Hehe.. I\'ll keep mine low and wavy.
