Hair brushes

having someone brush my hair always made me feel happy and safe and loved
i still remember every single time someone did my hair for me when i was little
i would ask people to do my hair for me
i used to ask my teacher to brush my hair so that i would agree to sit and finish my lessons
i used to ask my cousin when we were at grandma’s to do my hair then i would ask her if she could undo it and re do it again
i once asked Sawsan to braid my hair
i was so happy with them
i loved braids
i remember one time i asked my teacher to do my hair for me for the school year photo
i told her i was not happy with how my hair looked
and all she did was just put my hair up in the hairclip, a butterfly clip i brought from home
all year photos looked the same except that one
it felt different
i felt confident with how it looked that moment i stood in front of the camera
