How I learned to embrace my Asian curls

My hair has gone through many stages. I’ve had crunchy, bleached blond ends. I’ve grown it past my waist. In high school, I chopped it off. And I’ve made multiple, sad attempts at bangs (I never learned my lesson on those).

I wanted so desperately to make my Asian hair different that I never took the time to see all the possibilities of what it could be naturally. This comic is a slice of that journey — one that I’m still working through today.
