Natural Hair REVEALED to FLATMATES!!!

So I went away for the weekend, back home to see my family and when i was there i took out my hair extensions and just had my natural hair. Everyone who know me well knows that I since my big chop I have yet to be comfortable enough with my hair  to go out into public "natural". So once ready to head back to university I put on my wig (one of them) and headed back.

So the response to my hair was a good one, not that it matted what they thought it was just nice to know as I am not confident with my natural hair. Most were shocked as it made me look so different just like when they saw me with the hair above....they were a little shocked as they had only seen my hair one way. I think that's why i like wigs because i have the ability to change my appearance, the way people see me and that is some what powerful. Funniest moments had to be a guy in my class who asked my flatmate (were on the same course) where I was, and she said I was in the lecture. He then says where and when she points me out he does a double take and says oh okay as he did not recognize me at all. I don't think I look that different.....do I? Honestly I did feel nervous when i walked into my lecture and people stared at me and i was so self conscious where as I wasn't before. Yes I know i look different but you don't have to stare at me....just saying.
         
             Second one had to be my flatmate (who is a guy) who thought my hair was the same hair as before just taken out of plaits.....seriously? Okay he's so funny but honestly he is a young whit guy who doesn't have many black friends (or people living in his area), or lived with a black woman, so I do not expect him to know anything or much about the ins and outs of black women and their hair.
Currently wearing a wig and I have two more (curly ones) so imma change them daily and see if he knows the difference :) LOL....I know I'm so bad but hes response is just so funny. I can just imagine his face when he sees my natural hair.......:)
