and not because they look cool. For practical reasons.

Such as?

• Well, I hate doing my hair. Hate it. Always have. This is why I often wear hats or just look homeless from the forehead up.
• Salons are stupid. I’ve never left a salon with a hairstyle I liked.
• I never wanted a relaxer. My mother told me that I could either get a relaxer or shave my head, and here we are now. Reason #453 I will never be close to my mother. I haven’t even been relaxing my hair since April. Also, who can afford all those hair products my multi-racial hair “requires”? Not I, said the me.
• Having natural hair is hard. Especially when you don’t know how to deal with it. Seeing as my hair is two different textures, I want to shoot myself in the foot at least once a week. Then something worse will be happening to me other than the monstrosity that is my hairstyle.
• More upkeep than styling. If I want to roll out of bed and go to class, dreadlocks will add ease to my mornings, and we all know how much of a toddler I can be in the morning. Simply put, it would fit my lifestyle.
• Eventually, I will look badass.
