Fathers and Natural Hair: Part I

Dad braiding daughter's natural hair
Provide and protect; that's what Dads do.

Among their many roles, they also provide their daughters with self esteem that is vital to productive, healthy relationships.

They are the first men in our lives, and they mold our expectations of the men we befriend, date, love and  marry. They also shape our expecations about our hair -- hopefully, for the positive.

Maybe your Dad was responsible for hair duties (depending upon his skills, you may or may not have positive memories, LOL) in your home. Or, maybe your Dad encouraged you to go natural. Maybe Dad was against you going natural, but eventually warmed to it because he wanted his daughter happy.

Dads play integral roles in our lives. This Father's Day, tell your father or fathers in your lives, how much they mean to you.

What did your father do to your hair growing up?
