I attempted to straighten my uneven as hell hair but was not really impressed. I know I have to give it time to grow but I am becoming impatient.
I have had a few weaves since my bc and the last one made me realize I liked my hair relaxed better.
I get bored easily-I may have ADD-LOL the whole natural thing is getting a bit old. I am kinda tired the whole elitism that some of us as natural put off and I am tired of detangling my damn hair-lol
I feel as though my hair is becoming a task and I just do not like it. I do not like the large amount of money I have spent on products, nor am I feeling the Don King looking twist outs anymore:)
I will be relaxing in the summer, sometime around my 1 year anniversary. It would be dumb to do it now because I do not have any hair and I would have to get it cut into a style to have it look good.
I remember listening to India Arie I am not my hair and feeling the lyrics. When I big chopped I was like wow freedom. Then my hair began to grow and I started to become my hair again.
I am continuing my healthy hair journey and may try to see how much my hair can grow but I am not promising to grow it long.
It is funny how you get embrace when you say your going natural but when you want to relax people who once supported you look at you like your beneath them.
I believe relaxed will be better for me because all of the cutting that I have done because of split ends will be put behind me. I have always been a daily hair washer so that was never the issue but having to do my hair everyday to look decent in my eye is just too damn time consuming.
you know girl you gotta do what's best for you & if it means relaxing your hair then so be it =)I'll still enjoy watching your videos!!

^^ I agree with NaturalBeauty81. You have to do what makes you happy. It's your hair and you have to enjoy it. Can't wait to see :)
AntwortenLöschenIt's weird how I cam across you blog ( after blog hopping) but anyhoo, I'm feeling the same way as you. I attempted to straighten my hair today and only completed one section until I gave up. I'm sitting here with 1/2 straight and half fro.
AntwortenLöschenPeople say how versatile natural hair is, yet there is a list of crap u cant do all of the time such a flat ironing, blow drying, and etc...I never had this prob with my relaxed hair, I felt like I could do almost anything (besides color) to it and it was ok.
You know something else that I've realized today I promise to never look at another hair blog, journal, fotki, or youtube again. Even though we go natural at the end of the day we all try to DEFINE our curls or loosening them. If your happy to be nappy why are you trying to define anything? Slapping on heaps of gels to have some type of curl. UGH!
I'm done :) Great blog!
