UNkosazana Larsen Iinwele zam zentombazana eneminyaka emi-4 ubudala bezingumbandela wencoko okoko wazalwa. Wayengenayo nayiphi na iminyaka emibini yokuqala. Xa ekugqibeleni iinwele zakhe zafika, zakhula ziziingxilimbela, ii curls ezintle… ngokungafaniyo nosapho lwethu.
Ngokuthe ngqo kulandela ukuhlamba, ii-curls zithambile kwaye ziyaphola, kwaye uye wathelekiswa noShirley Temple. Simisiwe esitalatweni ngabakhenkethi abacela ukuthatha iifoto zabo kunye nenkwenkwana yomdlalo bhanyabhanya.
Iic curls zakhe nazo zidibanisa ngokulula kwaye zibhabha zisiya macala onke. Ziwa ngaphandle kweehagu neehashe kwaye andinakwenza i-Elsa braid kwizinwele zakhe ukuba ubomi bam buxhomekeke kuyo. Rhoqo, ngeenwele zakhe zingcolileyo kwaye simahla kunye nee-bangs zakhe kuyo yonke indawo, unokuphazama kuMax Apho Izinto Zasendle Zikhona .
Asigxininisi ukujonga ekhayeni lethu, kodwa unovakalelo ngeenwele zakhe. Uthi unqwenela ukuba iinwele zakhe zichaneke njengam. Ndiyamkelwa kwaye ndikhumbula isizungu sokungafani nomama. Ndizama ukwalatha abantu ebomini bakhe ngeenwele ezigobileyo (inqununu yakhe, abanye babahlobo bakhe abasenyongweni). Utata wam uthumele nemifanekiso yakhe yobuntwana ngemvume. Kodwa, xa ezobe imifanekiso yakhe, iinwele zakhe zihlala zilungile.
Xa sasikwinqanawa eyamisa eBahamas, kwaye umzala wakhe omdala wayefuna ukufumana ikona, andothusi ukuba intombi yam icele ukujonga okufanayo. Wayefuna ukuba intloko yakhe yonke ilukwe kwaye wayifumana-ii-braids ezincinci ezingama-65 zahlula iinwele zakhe, ziphelela kumaso amancinci amfusa. Babemangalisa.
Kwaye, okokuqala, intombi yam yayinebhongo ngeenwele zayo.
Emva koko, abantu baqala ukuphawula. Ndadityaniswa yindlela abasabela ngayo.
Okokuqala kwenzeke kwimizuzu eli-10 emva kokuba sibuyele enqanaweni. Besihleli kwigumbi lokutyela nje eliqhelekileyo kwaye besizifakile iipleyiti zethu nge dessert evela kwi-buffet. Ndathabatha imifanekiso njengoko intombazana yam eyonwabileyo yanyibilikisa iinwele zayo kwaye yema ngelixa isitya i-ayiskhrim kunye nevatala. Umfazi kwitafile elandelayo-endinokuthi ndimchaze njengexhegwazana eliswiti-wagoba wathi, Uqinisekile ubonakala njengomntu otya ivatala, andithi, sithandwa? Emva koko wandincumela.
Kwibala lokudlala kwi-Upper West Side: Ngaba umyeni wakho umnyama?
Ukusuka kumfazi endicinga ukuba ngumhlobo: Ndiyakothusa ukuba uthumele imifanekiso yakhe kanjalo . Ngaba awukhathazeki ngokudideka kwesazisi sakhe?
Ndabona izinto, nazo. Ukuthambeka kweshiya, ukuncwina, sise-ngasese jonga.
Kwakunezothe. Khange nditsho ewe kwii-cornrows kuba bendizama ukwenza ingxelo malunga nohlanga nenkcubeko. Ndandingumama nje owayefuna ukumonwabisa oneminyaka emi-4 ubudala. Umama ofuna ukuba intombi yakhe yamkele iinwele zakhe ezintle, ezinamakhanda. Umama owayefuna ukukhala, NGABA UZIMELA WENA? YINTONI ISIHOGWENI EPHILEYO KUWE xa abantu abangaziwayo becinga ukuba kulungile. ukuba babelane ngobuhlanga babo obubi kunye nam kuba sabelana ngombala ofanayo wolusu.
Kanye xa ndicinga ukuba ndiza kuqhuma, sahamba ngololiwe saya eBronx ukuya kumyezo wezilwanyana kwaye sambonisa apho utata wakhulela khona, kufutshane nasePelham Parkway.
Kwaye impendulo yahlukile.
Wabona amanye amantombazana amancinci kuloliwe-ama-Afrika-aseMelika, ubukhulu becala, nangona abanye abantu bezinye iintlanga, nabo, benamaqhina afana naye. Uncumo oluninzi. Ezokwenene.
Sigcine i-braids yakhe iinyanga ezimbini. Njengokuba iiveki zihamba, intombi yam ikhula ikhaliphile kwaye yandazisa kubantu abaninzi abaneebraids, ngendlela efanayo naleyo ndandibabonisile ngayo abantu bakhe abaneenwele ezigobileyo. Iibhondi zakhe zaze zavuselela ubuhlobo obutsha, okokuqala ngokusekwe kwizinwele ezifanayo kunye nothando ekwabelwana ngalo ngezinto zentombazana encinci.
Ndizithandile ii-braids zakhe kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba uzazicela kwakhona.
Kwakukho into esebenzayo: Bendingadingi kwenza iinwele zakhe kusasa ukuze silale sobabini. Kwakungekho mfuneko yokuba ndimcenge ukuba ndihlambe iinwele zakhe. Andizange ndizive ngathi ndisisilo esibi njengoko sasikhupha amaqhina emva kosuku olusebenzayo esikolweni.
Kwakukho ubuhle: Wayebukeka emangalisa. Wayenikina intloko ukuva amaso ecofa omnye komnye. Yayisisandi esihle, umoya ovuthuzayo wentliziyo yam.
Kwakukho intlalontle: Ngamanye amaxesha kwakungathi ndim ongena ngokufihlakeleyo. Ndiza kubona ukubonakala kothuko lokuqala xa abantu bembona kwaye ke umzuzu wawuza kutshintsha njengokuba umntu ongaziwayo edibana namehlo am ngoncumo olufudumeleyo, olunobuhlobo.
Kwaye, kwakukho imvakalelo: Umntwana wam wenza ukhetho ngomzimba wakhe olwamenza waziva emhle kwaye ezithembile, nokuba bathini abantu. Ndinebhongo ngaye, kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba uyakuhlala esenza ukhetho oluthetha naye hayi abo baphikisana nabo. Nantso incoko ndingathanda abantu endingabaziyo ukuba ndiqale nabo esitratweni.
