Eso te hubiera respondido mi yo de 8 años si le decías para definirle el cabello. ¡Hola nuevamente colmena! Soy Michelle.🤍🐝
That's what my 8-year-old self would have answered if you told him to define his hair. Hello again hive! I'm Michelle. 🐝
En este post me gustaría hablar sobre mi transición capilar, como desde lo poco que recordamos como bebés nos inculcan que el cabello rizado o afro es “pelo malo” y como esto nos llega a afectar en el presente.
In this post I would like to talk about my hair transition, how from the little we remember as babies we are taught that curly or afro hair is “bad hair” and how this affects us in the present.
Desde mis 8 le pedía a mi mamá que me planchara el cabello ya que no aguantaba los comentarios de los niños en mi escuela sobre mi pelo malo, cabellos de alambre, bruja y mas, cada comentario hacía mi pelo solo me dejaba pensando ¿que tiene de malo mi cabello? El no roba, ni le hace daño a nadie, solo es un poco rebelde, da muchas vueltas y se encrespa.
Since I was 8 I would ask my mom to iron my hair because I couldn't stand the comments from the kids at my school about my bad hair, wire hair, witch and more, every comment she made about my hair only left me thinking, what's wrong with it? How bad is my hair? He doesn't steal, nor does he hurt anyone, he's just a little rebellious, he goes around a lot and gets frizzy.
Tanta fue mi insistencia que empecé a llenarme de químicos el cabello, porque a toda costa quería tener el cabello liso, pasé de una keratina a otra, hasta que mi cabello dio señales de que ya no aguantaba otro alisado más, y me tocó aceptar que no era lisa, tal vez yo había nacido para ver una crespa exótica, además ¿a quien le tenía que rendir cuenta de mis rizos?
My insistence was so great that I began to fill my hair with chemicals, because at all costs I wanted to have straight hair, I went from one keratin to another, until my hair showed signs that it could no longer tolerate another straightening, and I had to accept that It wasn't straight, maybe I was born to see an exotic curl, besides, to whom did I have to answer for my curls?
Vi muchas fotos de cuánto estaba chiquita y tenía unos rizos espectaculares, y empecé a investigar a fondo a ver qué se podía hacer por mi pobres rizos, vi el proceso de transición y me dio un temor gigante hacerme el gran corte, empecé a dejarme crecer el cabello y con esto mismo empecé a tratar a mi cabello cómo si nada hubiera pasado, empecé a llevar una rutina de crespos y mientras tenía las raíces rizadas las puntas las tenía cómo tobogán, lisas.
I saw many photos of how small I was and had spectacular curls, and I began to investigate in depth to see what could be done for my poor curls, I saw the transition process and I was extremely afraid of getting the big cut, I began to let myself grow. hair and with this same thing I began to treat my hair as if nothing had happened, I began to have a frizzy routine and while my roots were curly, the ends were like a slide, smooth.
Little by little my hair is recovering its shape, it is quite tiring and it takes time and love to carry out a curl routine, but I do not regret at all seeing this hair transition begin, I feel much better about myself, you could say That gives me an exotic touch.
Una o dos veces por semana me hago el método curly, me mojo muy bien el cabello, secciono mi cabello en partes, me aplico mascarilla, hago scrunch, y termino con un poquito de gel diluido en poquita agua otra vez haciendo scrunch.
Once or twice a week I do the curly method, I wet my hair very well, I section my hair into parts, I apply a mask, I do a scrunch, and I finish with a little gel diluted in a little water again doing a scrunch. 😵💫💕
Estoy bastante feliz ahora con mi cabello, y por ahora ando intentando peinados, poco a poco comprando cositas para mejorar mi técnica y que mis rizos sean igual o hasta más preciosos de cómo los tenía antes.
I'm pretty happy now with my hair, and for now I'm trying hairstyles, little by little buying things to improve my technique and make my curls the same or even more beautiful than how I had them before.
Irónicamente varios familiares y compañeros de aula que antes se burlaban de mí “pelo malo” ahora dicen que me queda muy lindo ese nuevo estilo. Pensándolo actualmente es tan tonto como comentarios ajenos afectaron a mi imagen siendo una niña, quisiera poder abrazar a esa niña que tanto sufría por su cabello rebelde y enseñarle cómo cuidarlo. 🧸💕
Ironically, several family members and classmates who previously made fun of me for having “bad hair” now say that this new style looks very nice on me. Thinking about it now, it's so silly how other people's comments affected my image as a girl. I wish I could hug that girl who suffered so much because of her unruly hair and teach her how to take care of it. 🧸💕
Posdata: si eres rizad@ natural y pasaste por keratinas, que estás esperando para empezar con tu transición capilar, es un proceso fuerte pero realmente bonito🫶🏼
Postscript: if you are naturally curly and have gone through keratin, what are you waiting for to start your hair transition, it is a strong but really beautiful process 🫶🏼
Al ser un tema bastante largo seguiré en una segunda parte. Les mando un fuerte abrazo al espectador que llegó hasta aquí y nos vemos en el próximo blog colmena. 🐝🤍
As it is a fairly long topic, I will continue in a second part. I send a big hug to the viewer who came this far and we'll see you in the next hive blog. 🐝 🤍
