I loved this reflection bro! My dad did the same but for my receding hairline until I left for college.

I also appreciate the push back that we need to have perfection on our heads to be beautiful 👏🏽

I enjoyed reading this so much! I had a fade for many years and making sure I wasn’t given a hard line was key for me. My partner’s good friend is a barber and their biggest concern as of lately is that people are charging $75 for a hair cut.

$75 is too much IMO but I also know ppl who’ve paid more 😭. It’s tough because a cut is a form of self care just as much as it’s a norm in the Black community. Thank you for reading!!
