I have never really been one to invest hours in pampering the crown that is my hair. I prefer living in my own fairytale. Where I get the hottest hairstyles done in the quicksets time and with minimal maintenance needed. Besides that, I'm just bored. My super curly, super natural hair is just killing me. It just keeps shrinking into oblivion, doesn’t seen to really grow, and is just starving for inspiration. Not cool. So I stumbled across a few ladies that have seemed to make it work. I fell in love again with the hair that was mine, before the perms and relaxers.
I remember when I first cut my hair. The horror I faced when I realised that my long lushes hair had finally been cut at the umbilicus. It was like aborting a crown and giving birth to an unfamiliar face. There was nothing that could be hidden. No pimples behind any fringe even my ears were exposed for the world to see. All that remained was me and my suddenly abnormally large forehead. So began my obsession with makeup. If the eyes weren't done and the pimple concealed, Po was going nowhere. I felt so inadequate I would refuse to go anywhere without make up. My face had become my new crown. But such high levels of maintenance where not meant for me. I liked to live on the go and the makeup was just slowing me down. So I had to learn to love my face. I accepted things that would not change.
And now I can admit
that short hair does not suit me. I know that for a fact now. But I can deal with my face, I can handle the truth that has been revealed.
Now thanks to my new best friend, "Luster's - Non- drip curl activator" The bush has been tamed. (The crown that used to be my nightmare). She is now soft, shiny and oh so workable. With this spray by my side, we can conquer the world. So I continue to explore the endless possibilities that this hair has to offer.
Learning to love my hair just as God made it, before the perms and relaxers, the weaves and straighteners. Now I’m not hating! Girl you paid for that weave, OWN IT. I’m just taking a break from all of that.I’m trying to take the cornrow to the next level.
Note to self, if ever in desperate need for new ideas. For weaves, relaxed hair, dreadlocks and natural hair. ALWAYS consult http://www.thirstyroots.com/ before heading to the hairdresser.
