Dear Natural Hair,





I'm breaking up with you... maybe.
Quite frankly I've bin over my natural hair for a while now. The twist out, braid out and that dreaded bantu have become daunting taskS for me.

During my loose natural hair journey, ( was never a journey per say but whatever...) I have to say my hair was the healthiest in 2013.


 Boy oh boy was I obsessed with my hair back then, but it was a lot of work. The constant deep conditioning, moisturizing and re-twisting. Wow, I had patience! I can't see myself going back to that right now. Kudos to the new moms with fly twist-outs.


Two big chops and heat damage later, I'm here at "ugh". So whats next? Back to locs? Another big chop? Perm maybe?? I have nothing against perm. I got caught up in the natural hair movement since my locs were a big hit among the YouTube community. But it was not my identity. I was just a woman with her hair loc'd at that point in her life. I feel like just a few understood that.


 I'm not sure what is next for me and this hair. We just have to wait and see.
Bye bye natural hair community???

Blessings
J

Excited about this post because i'm really pleased at how creative I can be...sometimes The look for this week is the shorts suit or "shorts separates"  as Ebony (pictured) put it. Basically a pair of cute shorts, with a top/blouse and a sleek blazer. My hair is a fresh bantu-out, necklace and tank from h&m, "shorts" from Danice, shoes from random store down town Manhattan (I was actually trying to sell these...and still kinda am lol), scarf from random store and bag from Rainbow Now a little info on the shorts... Its actually a tube romper!! Was going to wear it as is for this post, but to be a little more creative I just tuck the top part in (you can't even tell huh?!) and voila, I got myself some cute shorts!!

Big Chopped!

Image
So yes I big chopped! I have about 1-2 inched of hair on my head right now and I gotta tell you, I'm loving it! LOL It was sort of a spur of the moment decision. I mean, I was thinking about it for a while (since I took out the crochet braids) but never thought I would do it. Then one night, in the middle of Prison Break I just went for it. Just. Like. That. That was November 1st. Well, since then I've bin doing twist outs with my usual products (blue magic leave in, almond oil), but I just purchased a new twist out product from the 'As I Am' brand. I heard good things about the line and can't wait to try it! It's all about healthy hair for me now. I'm not stressing it. No color (hopefully, cause I'm thinking of  blue black *sigh*) and definitely no heat. I want my hair to grow out healthy and strong; looking, feeling and being. If that makes sense.  I would be trying out different things like rod sets (if possible), straw sets, wash and go ...
