Patience, Love and Understanding

Patience, Love and Understanding not only nourishes a person...it also nourishes your hair. Taking time getting to know your hair and learning to understand and love all of its imperfections, will make the difference between "just hair" and "pretty hair"!
      My Before & After Puff

Hair can be compared to people. "Just hair" lacks love, time and attention, it isn't very noticeable or its noticed for ALL the wrong reasons! Like most things in life, when something or someone isn't getting the attention it needs, it rebels and acts out in hopes of better days... Ex. Breakage, dryness, stunted growth.

Im saying all this to say "Stop being lazy and show your hair some love! I promise the appreciation will be evident! I don't have what people call "good hair", but I do have what they call "pretty hair"! I love my hair, what it's become, what I learned about it and I look forward to reaching my hair goals.

How is your hair journey going? Chime in...

Finally!! You can see my length

Hi everyone…sorry it’s been so long since I post. I’ve been really busy lately…not to busy to try new products or hairstyles :-) , Just too busy to write (sorry).  I had to write today because I’m super excited!! Yesterday was the 1^st time in my 7 month natural hair journey that I’ve had wild hair…YAYYYYY!! Not only am I writing but I also did a youTube tutorial on how I achieved the look. 

Enjoy,

How to Stretch your Fro

Dare Yourself to Be Daring!

I’ve always dealt with different stereotypes and labeling of me. Some labels were  great descriptions, others were fabricated and some were just plain crazy.  At one time I allowed the views of others to rule the way I lived and what I showed to outsiders.   Most people automatically assume that since you look a certain way, You must also act a certain way…and this couldn’t be further from the truth.  Not only do people put limitations on how they think your personality is…they also try to limit what you should and shouldn’t wear. 

For years I’ve been limited to the stereotype that dark women shouldn’t wear bright colors, bright lipstick , certain patterns etc.  But since embarking upon my natural hair journey I have learned to love myself in a different light! I feel that I can do anything! It has given me the courage to try things that I never would have before.  I no longer feel boxed into this dark girls only area….and I’m loving it!!!
