Wigs consumed my life, so I stopped wearing them

Описание: Here's a video on why I stopped wearing wigs.

In this video, I’m opening up about my personal decision to stop wearing wigs—and the emotional truth behind it. For years, wigs were a way for me to cope with stress, anxiety, and self-image struggles. But one frustrating, emotional day in April 2025 changed everything.

I talk about the pressures I felt, the shame I internalized about my natural hair, and the small everyday behaviors that revealed just how disconnected I had become from my true self. From rushing to cover my hair before my son woke up, to the moment he found my wig and asked if it was mine—this is the raw, honest story I needed to tell.

💬 I also share what helped me begin healing:

Identifying where my negative hair narratives came from

Understanding my emotional triggers

Finding practical, affirming solutions for caring for my natural hair

This isn’t about shaming anyone who wears wigs. It’s about reclaiming my relationship with myself—and creating a future where my daughter sees beauty in her natural hair too.

✨ If you’ve ever struggled with hair identity, self-image, or just want to hear a real conversation about Black hair, you’re in the right place.
