response to hairpeace by pearl c

well...i really enjoyed this one...i guess because i could relate but that sounds so stereotypical...but its true. anyway it was hilarious because even though ive never slowdanced with a boy on a hot detroit night and had my hair sweat out, i can understand how bad that could be. also when i was younger my sisters used to say i had the good hair all the time just because it grew the fastest. i never knew what to say because i thought i had the good hair too, after a while. i also remember getting my hair straightened with a flat iron for the first time. it was nothing like i imagined. there were no chemicals so it was starighter than usual but still poofy. i realized i should just wait for the relaxer. i got my first one when i was in 10th grade, and i felt like such a woman! my mom no longer had to spend the 20 minutes to half hour on my hair and i could do whatever i wanted, and it blew in the wind!! this was too much for me to handle. now i wish i could go back to braids sometimes because i love braiding. it requires a creativity and skill that im just beginning to develope. so yea

i loved the style of writing also. it was simple and quite blunt, which im okay with. it was funny how some of the sentences were a whole paragraph long, something sort of juvenile but it worked for her somehow.
