The wind loves natural straight black hair, and most women I know hate this love affair the wind has with their hair, and for good reason!
Why do women with natural straight black hair hate the wind?
According to most women, apart from a terrible haircut, nothing else can create more havoc on their hair quite like the wind.
There’s nothing more frustrating to women with straight hair than to get their hair all styled up to perfection, only to walk out the door to be greeted by the loving embrace of the wind. This greeting is seldom appreciated because it almost always ruins everything they’ve worked so hard to achieve hairstyle wise.
Why should women with natural straight black hair love the wind?
Despite this love-hate relationship between the wind and women with natural straight black hair, some find an unequal beauty that comes from seeing the wind blowing long straight hair.
Though many women find it infuriating when the wind is having fun with their hair, some of us can appreciate the beauty of watching women hair blowing in the wind.
The Wind and Your Hair was written in celebration of all those moments I was privileged to watch women with natural long hair blowing in the wind. This poem is part of the poetry collection, Sultry available on amazon.
The Wind and Your Hair
i enjoy the way your hair
take flight in the wind
obediently dancing
to every rhythmic beat.
i love the fragrance
your hair releases
to the command of
the whispering wind.
i appreciate the way
the sun finds its way
through each wispy strand
lending rich colour
to your clustered beauty
in every way.
i enjoy the way the wind
play those tender games
with your hair,
one moment it tenderly
toss a few strands
concealing your eyes
and
every now and again
enough strands
to obscure your entire face,
some strands are even
wise enough
to steal a kiss by
slipping through your lips.
i love the way you slowly
brush those disobedient
strands away with such
seductive ease.
i love the sight of your hair
blowing and flowing
in the wind.
To all women, take a moment to enjoy the loving side of the wind every now and then. Let’s enjoy the poem.
I know it’s difficult for women who spend so much time getting their hair ready for that special occasion or just for that extra self-love treatment. But watching women with natural straight black hair blowing in the wind is a beauty to behold.
