I decided to take a few pictures of Sellinah for the sole purpose of displaying beauty without hair. There are way too many stigmas attached to hair. Personally, I love wearing my hair straight. But naturally, I have SUPER curly hair. My husband loves it. I hate it. Its all about preference. Sellinah was extremely shy with her shaved head and is currently wearing a wig. After we took the pictures yesterday for some reason she felt really good about the hairstyle and everyone loved it when she decided to show it off. Sellinah mentioned that as a wife in her culture, having no hair is looked down upon hence the shyness. It was also the very first time that she wore make-up!
I loved hearing about her beliefs and I do respect them. Despite wearing make- up and having phases when I did crazy things with my hair. I respect every other routine of beauty other women do to feel good about themselves, but most importantly how they respect themselves.
