(T.O.): Twisted…
During a visit to one of my favorite stores a couple months ago; I met a lady that was rocking some natural curls in a cute afro. After complimenting her on her hair, she tells me that she’s considering putting a relaxer in her hair because she was bored with her hair and that it was difficult to maintain… Bored? Difficult? You know I had to say something. Ha ha ha.When it’s not out and about, it’s safely tucked in. Yes flowers, you know how it goes πI immediately made it my mission to convince her not to put relaxer in her hair in the 5 minutes I had left with her. Instead of highlighting everything that’s wrong with using chemicals to get your hair straight temporarily… I entertained her with some of the wonderful benefits that could easily be hers, by maintaining her natural hair π I saw her yesterday and her hair is still natural. YES!
I fail to understand how anyone can get bored with natural hair, when there are endless possibilities of natural hair styles that you can experiment with. I believe natural hair gives you a fun platform to really get creative. I’m always on the go, so natural hair is perfect for me. I love that I can wear a variety of natural styles and still protect my hair. I co-wash and do a conditioning treatment on Wednesdays and then do a deep conditioning treatment every Sunday. Moisturize my hair while it’s wet, then put it in twists. No comb necessary, I just use my fingers when parting my hair in sections. The lines aren’t always straight but I think I’m doing good job so far. I keep my hair in twists, except on days when I have to wash and condition. I also have a night time routine where I spray my hair with a homemade moisturizing spritz, and once it’s bed time; hello satin wrap. Easy.Boring? Oh no.Difficult? HA!stay beautiful!peace, love and health
