I was always told my hair texture was bad. So here comes the white cream. The white cream is chemical hell. I can smell it as I write this. As I got older I realized the white cream took out more than my curls and coils that the Man upstairs scribbled for me. It took away my temple hairs. It took my chances of having hair past my shoulders. But the white cream never took my curiosity. My never ending curiosity of what I would look like if the white cream never took my real hair from me. My real hair, which was, is, and never will be “bad.”
