BABY Hair

Baby hair. Every girl has a different definition of baby hair. I remember reading magazines and looking at the beautiful models with no baby hair. I remember staring at myself in the bathroom mirror figuring out ways to get rid of them. From bleaching, waxing strips, Nair, and shaving them off. The maintenance was killing me, so I finally gave up. Fast forward to 2017, I looked for ways to improve myself and focused in on my baby hairs again....failing to realize my problem was internal. I found 12 year old Alejandra staring back at me in the mirror. I hastily grabbed my tweezers and plucked away. I plucked and plucked trying to pacify 12 year old Alejandra who wasn’t good enough. All I wanted was for my 12 year old self to disappear and the only way to silence her voice and judgmental stare was to make myself look like the person she wanted me to be. The more I plucked my hairs the quieter and more satisfied she became. I finally found my will to stop plucking and accept myself as I prepare for this amazing self love journey. love you Ale! Here’s hoping you say it back one day.
