I didn’t know how to take care of my hair for the first twenty-five years of my life. In case you’re wondering, I turned 28 this May. That’s freaking sad.
But as ridiculous as it sounds, that a grown-ass woman like me had no idea how to take care of my hair, it really isn’t that strange at all.
See, I’m from Ghana. Many women don’t know how to take care of their hair here. And by that, I mean our natural hair.
Most women can’t deal with their natural hair. So, to cut through the bullshit, they just perm it — which is much easier to take care of.
