Your Hair Is Beautiful

If you are a girl (and this probably even relates to guys) I'm sure you have stared at your hair in the morning and been like, "Why me?". We've all had those days where we wake up looking like Mufasa from Lion King. Unfortunately for most girls regardless of whether they are having a good hair day or a bad one they still hate their hair. Rarely any of us actually love our locks for 'who' they are. If it's curly we want it to be straight. If it's straight we want it curly. And if our hair's wavy we want it to make up it's mind to be either.

Have you ever taken the time to notice that all hair is beautiful. No matter if it's straight or wavy or curly or kinky. Too many of us are focused on keeping up with the fads of this world that we rarely enjoy the natural beauty we were given. So I'm going to briefly explore the different hair types and what makes them each so unique and gorgeous.

Straight hair is long and gentle. It has soft wisps that smoothly cascade down your shoulders. But on the other hand it can be easily sleeked back and wrapped tightly in a bun for a more business look. It is adaptable and changeable for many range of styles. Though it never loses it's softness. 

If you have this hair type please stay away from the curling products that the media continuously tries to sell you. Your hair is gorgeous on its own.  Enjoy your smooth soft hair for what it is.

Wavy hair is effortless and beautiful. It's thick and has beautiful waves that naturally add depth to your hair. You get natural beach waves everyday. Wavy hair is the perfect balance between curly and straight. It gives you volume, but still has the softness of straight hair. 

Many times those of you who have wavy hair hate it because it seems like it's just straight hair that has a lot of frizz. But it really isn't, when taken care of properly this type of hair has smoothness, volume, curls and softness all in one.

Curly hair is bouncy and fun.You can put it in a ponytail or just leave it down; and it will still look eye catching and playful. Another fun thing about curly hair is that there never seems to be a shortage of it on your head. This hair type is often thick and overflows almost any hairstyle you try to put it in! 

I personally have curly hair and it has taken me a long time to love it. It isn't like many of the other hair types. But that is why curly hair's so special because it is very different. 

Kinky hair is unique and stunning. It consists of tiny tight curls that are dark and beautiful. When put in braids this type of hair looks wonderful and cultural. But also when let to naturally grow it has a unique flair and curl all it's own. Kinky hair is often short but the small curls have such intricacy and detail it blows my mind. 

Now most people I know with kinky hair absolutely hate it. They normally keep it braided all the time or add extensions or even wear wigs. I'm not sure why, but the world has made it clear that their naturally tightly curled hair is unacceptable. This is a straight up lie. Kinky hair is gorgeous, unique, and stunning all at the same time. Don't let anyone tell you different.

As you can see all hair types are beautiful for their own reasons. They each have something special that they offer. So please stop cutting, straightening, curling and dying your gorgeous locks. God has given you the hair you have for a certain reason. And it is marvelous. Please learn to love it and enjoy it.
