Hair, hair and more hair.. That is what we have at our house. and then some..
I am a white chick married to a man from Tonga.. Don’t know where that is? Go check, I will wait…
Now that we know what Tonga is, you should know about the Tongans. They are some of the most humble, loving people you will ever meet. They do not have much, but they will surely give the shirt off their back if you need it, and I am privileged to be
apart of their life.
Hair hair hair… Why do I keep saying this.. because this is why..
Not only are Tongans known for their humbleness, their strength, but they are known for having a lot of children and a lot of hair. In our house, we have it all, although my children got my beauty (wink wink) they have many of their dad’s genes too. Hair is one of them.
I never really understood what that meant before I was pregnant with my first. People would tease me, I would simply say.. Oh not at my house, if we have any girls, I will not let them have long hair.. ewwww.
After my first child was born, the doctor held her up and I about died! I just gave birth to a monkey! she was all hair, in fact she looked like she had a carpet of hair on that little head. I tried to trim her hair at about age 1. It was down to past her shoulder blades by then, and my husband forbid me to cut it. So we let it grow. Instead of letting her hair hang down and get all nappy by the end of the day, I would design her hair, thanks to her grandmother for teaching me. I would do a new design everyday, and it kept growing. I had 5 girls in a row, all heads of hair, all (a little bias) beautiful!
When I was pregnant with my 6th baby, I was so ecstatic that I was pregnant with a boy! NO MORE Hair to get ready, No more frills and curls. As to my naive self, I thought as he grew that we would get to give him cute little boy hair cuts, but NO!!!! Boy was I wrong! Little did I know that in the Tongan culture, that if you cut their hair before age 4, YOU WILL CUT OFF THEIR STRENGTH! So my little Tongan boy gets it daily..” oh what a cute little girl” or ”does she want a candy?”
Hair is our thing. I have learned many ways to do hair, some I make up on my own, lol I am the designated auntie, all the Tongans come to my house to get the corn rolls, braids and what not!
Hair hair hair..
Till I die…
or my hands fall off!
