Eastern Wig & Hair Co. 1400

I have put strange women's hair on my head through the course of braids, weaves, glue, thread, twists, wigs etc. I love my natural hair, but the majority of popular culture tells me to hate it. I drove into downtown Detroit the day that I got my sisterlocks installed and took the picture to the right. Although I love my sisterlocks, and my natural hair, I always waiver between feeling somehow "less" beautiful without the long, flowy, silky hair that I have always been told is more beautiful. My grandmother, in her mid-80s, does not think my hair is beautiful and vocalizes this. My sister called me a "black mop". My father shakes his head in disdain. I will teach my children to love themselves, without doubt or reservation. The fact that this business is closed, building deserted, is a service to the Black community.
