I was born with straight hair, with a few hidden curls underneath and around my forehead.
My curly hair didn't bloom until the beginning of 8th grade and I hated it. I soon had to accept that I had curly hair and now I love it.
I get so many complements from people saying, "Your hair is so pretty. Did you know that so many people wish to have your hair! You are lucky."
I am now growing out my hair and donating it to someone who needs it. "Everyone wants curly hair," I hear, so I don't mind sharing mine.
