It was a bold move, but I needed a change and hair just seemed to be the easiest way to go. If the change didn't work out, the hair would grow back and I could start over.
Well the hair did grow back, but not the way I'd expected. The texture was waaaay off and the length was different all around. My hair was having a SERIOUS identity crisis. So in July of 2014, I went to a local hair salon and asked the stylist to cut my hair down to the healthiest length. She did, and I left the salon with about half an inch of hair all around.
Fast forward to today and although I have no idea how long my hair is now, I know that it's a bit longer than half an inch, longer than one inch -- probably longer than two.
I go between wearing my hair "natural" as in "no chemicals, no heat", and wearing it "pressed", which means "no chemicals and LOTS of heat."
Although I prefer to wear my hair pressed, it really slows down my fitness efforts. I sweat a LOT and through my head. So wearing my hair pressed while working out is a waste...of time and money. So..."natural" it is, until I get to a desirable weight and don't have to work out as much as I have been.
Since I've been wearing my hair "natural" I've found myself in a bit of a "hair rut" and have decided that I need to switch things up. I've never been much of a braid or weave wearer so my switch needed to be simple, INEXPENSIVE, and something I could do myself.
After some thought, and trying out a few looks, I decided that FLOWERS were the way to go. I love 'em!
I now style my 'fro as usual, add a flower on the side, and VOILA!
I picked up three basic flowers a couple days ago, black, beige and white. Today I went on a "flower hunt" and got six (yes SIX) more! They were on sale, "Buy 3 get 3 Free," so I couldn't pass 'em up. ALL of my lovely new hair flowers are pictured here. Ain't they purrrdy? ;-)
Now it's YOUR turn...Let the DIALOGUE begin: What do you do with YOUR hair when you fall into a "hair rut?"
Talk to me...
Til next time!
