We all know that change is never easy, and having the support of the ones we love is very important in these times of stress.

Also as women, our hair is like a natural crown that we use to express our beauty and individuality. And sometimes our emotions making our hair the first thing to change when we want a change. Recently PopSugar featured an article about a woman who had been growing dreadlocks for 20 years, and the reaction she received from her husband.

Although she seemed to be terrified of how he would react, he was floored by her new look.

This here ladies is a lesson is love and beauty. Music artist Inia Arie said it best: “I am not my hair.” As this video empowers us as women to be confident in ourselves no matter what our crown may look like, whether they’re long straight tresses of golden blonde or a kinky brush cut, hair is only part of what make us beautiful.

So wear your crown proud QUEEN!
