Every Coil

February 11, 2018

Dear Every Coil,

Your coarse hair is beautiful its your crown now wear it

Put down that flat iron and wear the curls for the girls and embrace your coils

Feed people the versatility

The up dos, side dos

Slick backs and tracks

Oh and the Afros cause they are all that

See all that detangling is you combing through your sorrows

All that conditioning is your leverage to shine again

All of that trimming is to begin a new path towards growth and

All of that shampooing is to start over with a clean slate

Or don't even tame it let it be worn as it is

Let Every Coil show

Sincerely, Your curly&coiled hair sista
