Braiding A Braid

In the article, "Black Students at Massachusetts charter school served detention, suspended from sports teams for wearing hair in braids," by Megan Cerullo discusses the issue of racism. Twin girls by the name of Mya Cook and Deanna Cook were punished because of the braid they wore. In the student handbook, at Mystic Valley Regional Charter School, there are hairstyles that are not allowed. Even though the school says that the hairstyles described are not allowed in Mystic Valley Regional Charter School are targeted towards everyone, the twin's mother and father seem to think differently, "Their parents say the school’s policy around how students are permitted to wear their hair is discriminatory, and unfairly targets black students." Because

I. We all have hair, and we all wear it in different ways. Today I am going to teach you how to French Braid hair.

As a little girl, my hair was always down. My grandmother would basically have to fight me, in order to braid my hair. I believed my hair deserved to be loose and free. Even after a bad haircut, that earned me the nickname of Dora among my fifth grade classmates, I still felt comfortable with my triangle shaped hair.

Continue sewing the hair weave until there are no braids left. After all of these steps are successfully completed you may style the hair how you desire. Now that you are looking good, you will feel good. Now be ready to swing you’re your hair everywhere you go.

8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until all hair is braided. Secure the end with a hair tie.

First, you would grab a little piece of hair at the top of the person's head, split it into three even sections, and begin to make a regular braid. Now that you've made the beginning of a the regular braid, you take the outer right section and grab a piece of hair about the same amount of the section you grabbed before. Take the right section and the extra piece, then combine them together. After you combine the two sections switch the right section with the middle section. Then repeat what you did with the right section on the left side. Once you did this you can continue until you don’t see hair on the outside. Now start a regular braid and continue until you need to put on your hair band. Then you are done with your french

Have you ever been through a journey faced with complications that lead you through frequent steps that can occasionally make you want to give up? I decided to do my capstone project on The Journey of Natural Hair, mainly focusing on the selections of afro-textured portions throughout my project. A journey of natural hair is a route you take along with your hair as you encounter different changes and ideas pertaining to your hair. The Natural hair journey technically starts when you are born because everyone is born with different varieties of natural hair. My reason for choosing such a topic is because it is something I can relate to. I have also experienced many of the common stages along my natural hair journey. This topic stands out to me and is something I enjoy talking and learning about. I understand that many aren’t able to self-experience a journey of natural curls which varies with race and background. Exposures to chemicals such as hair relaxers can permanently change the texture of the relaxed portion of hair. As I research further into my subject I hope to learn how certain things can manipulate the hair. I also seek to learn new things the journey has prepared as it continues step by step. I can achieve this by gaining more knowledge about natural/afro-textured hair through others experiences and studies on it.

I could feel the tears forming in my eyes. It was getting hard to breathe. The only thing I wanted to do right then and there in that moment is leave that room. I tried speaking, words wouldn’t form. I turned and looked at my brother and sister who just set there, no emotion on their faces. How could they just set there? At this point I was furious and found myself running to my room. Once to my room, I immediately began asking God why. Why my parents? What did I do to deserve such a thing? My pillow soon became saturated in tears.

When we headed up to her room to prepare for bed, the night hit rock bottom. It started with her ranting about how mad and upset she was with me, but the second I tried to explain that I’d done nothing, and didn’t deserve her comments all night long, it escalated quickly. Her shrieks projected off the ceiling, echoing throughout the room; I swear the whole block could hear her. Suddenly, the heat of the atmosphere rose: tension. My heart raced. My body paralyzed.

Everybody but those freshman had showed up at my party, it stated nearly half an hour ago. I was a little disappointed, a freshmen getting the opportunity and totally letting me down. I was actually humiliated, this couldn’t be any more real. They must not have known who I am because if they did, they would’ve been here an hour before the party started. Before I was done ranting, I saw Ray out of the corner of my eye. He was speaking with three, rather petite girls. I lit up in flames, “Why was he talking to other girls?” I thought. I zoomed over to him and shoved right through the girls.

Growing up I have always seen my mom put her hair in bun few times a day and the way she did it left me mesmerized. She didn't use any hair lace, elastic, clip or anything and in my tiny brain I couldn't figure out how she does it. I tried tying knots on my hair but it never stayed. It somehow became the symbol of being responsible and an entry gift of adulthood. Few months ago when I kept zipping my hair in backpack I realized it was time to master the skill of no accessory hair bun. The secret is to have very dull hair, the kind that you have 1 day after shampooing or when you come home from a walk through a foggy street.

In today’s society hair weave is very popular. There are multiple types of hair available for those with different textures of hair. Virgin hair, which is hair that hasn’t been processed, is the most popular brand. Than we have Remy or Remi which is human hair that has some sorts of chemicals in it. Most people install hair weave to help their hair grow or give it a break from daily chemical use. There are multiple ways to install hair weave; Glue-ins, clips-ins, sew-ins, and fusions.

It was the fourth of July, and I was at a party my aunt was hosting. As I was sitting down, enjoying everyone’s company, I ran my fingers through my hair. Unexpectedly, I thought I felt something wet. I was confused. I thought to myself, “Was it lice? Oh gosh, I hope not.” I went to the bathroom, turned around, and took a picture of my scalp through the mirror. I screamed, “Oh my gosh!” I couldn’t believe it. I had a huge bald spot, about two inches in circumference. Crackle! Boom! Everyone was outside admiring the fireworks, except me. I was in the bathroom, crying. I called my mom over, and she called my aunt over. I told them what I had discovered on my scalp. “It will be okay,” they said in an attempt to calm me down. It did not
