Why I have an Afro???
Hello Steem Family, I would like to thank all of you for such a warm welcome on steem. 
It has only been 2 days and I am so impressed by the family type culuture you all have here. I hope my stay here will be full of fun and happiness.

In my last post, I mentioned about my next post which would be on "why I have an Afro".

This is me what I look like right now but I was not always like this. It is only been 8 months since I have this look, so what I looked like before and why I chose to keep it.

Let's go back to early days of 2017 and before that.So let me show you what I looked like then.

You can see here I am taking a selfie in front of my Country's flag and I don't have an Afro, even I have a very short haircut. 

Let's go back to 2016.

By now you would have known that I am standing on the extreme right side with my friends in the blue shirt(Shalwar kameez which is Traditional dress in Punjab).

I have very short hair. 

**How/Why Afro**

Since my childhood, I had short and curly hair. Whenever I hair will grow to a bigger length, I will be asked my Mom or Dad to go to the barber shop and get them trimmed. Even I was in the favor of getting them cut because otherwise they will start looking messy and I will look weird, so honestly I myself didn't like that.

Then one day my friends in my dormitory started conviencing me go for Afro. 
They will force me to grow hair long but I will always say no. 

One day my one friend came to me and showed me a picture of Marcelo, the famous footballer.

I was not fully convienced but he was like please give it a try and if it will not look good on you then you can trim them anytime and I was yes you are right. So I started growing my hair. 

At first I didn't like them because I had started getting curly hair and they didn't look good but as the time past, I was like yeah man I think I kinda like them.

While I was growing my hair long, they looked like this and I was like it is not bad man so why not I keep them growing. So now rest is the history.

Hard work and persistence of 8 months paid off :)
