Get Your Hair Did
There is a barber shack/stand in our community and I
noticed some of the community men with cool designs buzzed into their heads.
The barber told me he could buzz a design for me. I got really excited. My hair
has been getting longer and you know what they say, “When in South Africa…”
When I told my Mama and sister of this plan their faces went stoic and their
voices dropped very low. Apparently, to them and a lot of people in the
community cutting your hair with such designs is a sign of the devil and your
now exposed skin makes an easier path for demons to go into your head. They
were adamant about it. I kept trying to see if there was a way around it, “What
about just a swirly design?” But it was no use. Eventually I said, “Fine! I
won’t do it! Just don’t be mad at me!” HA! Don’t wanna piss off the whole
community of Gottenburg and have people start treating me like a devil woman.
