Finding my Inner "Naturalista"
So...what's new?
I'll go first.
Twelve days ago I decided to get rid of my hair. I just hopped in a barber's chair and said, "take it off." He did.
So far I really like it. It's the first time in my life (at least that I can remember) that I've worn my hair short AND natural. No chemicals. No heat. Just MY hair the way God grows it. I gotta admit, I was a little nervous about how this would turn out because my natural hair sits at the intersection of "nappy" and "not so nappy." But I decided that nappy or not, this is MY hair, and I have to embrace it because it's a part of me. And here we are.
With leave-in conditioner and some good oil, it leans more toward the side of "not so nappy." But when that stuff dries up...WATCH OUT! I look like a "Soul Train Flashback."
So there you have it. I've posted the before and after pics so that you can get a feel for what a drastic change this was for me. I'm not stressin' though. It's just hair. It'll either grow back, or it won't. No biggie.
So now it's YOUR turn.
Let the DIALOGUE begin: What is the most drastic thing you've ever done to YOUR hair?
Talk to me!
Til next time...
