This is what my hair has been doing lately. I know it's been awhile, and honestly I kind of hit a road block with my hair hence why the blogging screeched to a halt. All my passion and love for my hair kind of dissipated and taking care of it was just another chore on my list. I felt hypocritical to blog about loving your natural hair when I wasn't loving mine or give advice on how to make your hair thrive when mine wasn't thriving. But I"m back!!.
I honestly thought about Big Chopping again and starting over, and I thought about getting dreads. But I've decided to stick with it. For a long time, I had stopped protective styling. Mostly because of laziness and also because I felt bored with it but I've decided to go back to basics and start protective styling again and try to revive my passion for natural hair. I don't have a choice because it's mine, there's nothing I'm going to do to change it and I'm definitely not going back to chemicals so I might as well embrace it. I'm going back to the things I used to do to nurture my hair and trying to nurture my body too. All my yoga-ing and meditating and exercising and trying to eat well are all part of the same goal: to take care of myself, be healthy and learn to love the things I cannot change. So natural hair, I LOVE you! You are mine, all mine. I love our frustrating moments and proud moments and big bouncy moments and frizzy tangled shrunken up moments equally.
Yours truly, ME!
