A Young Man & His Hair

Jr_afro
These images are of a young man about to loss his hair.  He had worked so hard to grow out his hair.  He went through some rough stages, but now it was finally looking right.  When it was braided he had some hang-time and when it was in Fro stage he could get his Maxwell or Lenny Kravitz on.  I think he thought it gave him strength.  So why cut it, because sometime you have to do things you don’t want to do. He was just starting high school and was required by his mother to join an activities that would keep him active but also require discipline.  He had a few options, and he selected JROTC.  With that the hair had to go.  So to memorialize his hair we took pictures. His family keeps telling him it will grow back, but I am not to sure he believe it yet.
