The Afro

At one time I decided to do an afro hairstyle.  I was living in Houston and was ordained about a year or so.  It was a bit of a disaster.  I had to done three times before it took.  I think I burnt my scalp some too.  Why do we have problems with our natural look?  Well, if you come up with the answer please let me know.  I forget why I kept having a beard.  I think I did not care to shave.  maybe I was hiding out?
