Barbies “Traditional” Hairdo …Just Won’t Do
By Team BLAM
We can’t say it enough….in order to have a healthy relationship and truly love someone else….YOU’VE GOT TO FIRST LOVE YOURSELF. You don’t have anything to be ashamed of. You are where you are, who you are, and what you are because you are… supposed to be. So celebrate your uniqueness, embrace your divinity, and cherish your beauty because if you don’t ….nobody else will. The above video is inspiring little girls and grown women everywhere to reacquaint themselves with the completeness of their God given natural beauty by remixing the image of Barbie and giving her a funky and flavorful natural hairdo. The women of Frolific have taken up this cause because they understand the importance of African American girls appreciating their natural beauty and want to inspire girls to have greater self esteem.
Her fro is awesome!! But while I appreciate the message, Im kinda feeling as if the message is diluted. I wear my hair short and now I'm feeling less "real" because I choose to relax and then cut my hair. God made me with long curly hair, but I like it straight and short. I am just a unique. How many chicks can pull of a short 'do. Not many. I'm not trying to be a hater, but Im only saying how I feel. Love the idea that but natural isnt the only beautiful. I think Im beautiful no matter how I decide to wear my hair.
