If My Hair Could Talk

My friend Chi Chi asked me to write a poem for her Graduation Show. The theme was focused on our hair, heritage and our future. I have had a love/hate relationship with my hair as I didn't understand why it never did what I wanted it to do... So I flipped it round and thought if my hair could talk, what would it say? Thank you to Chi Chi for this opportunity, writing from the heart is never easy and your challenge pushed me in the right direction :)
