Well, I’m back…..I could give you many reasons as to why I have not been around, but I won’t waste your time. I’ll just leave it at life happens and there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done. But, as I think about it one real reason is because I have not had anything positive to say about my natural hair for the past several months.  I have really been struggling about what to do with my hair.  Once I took the braided extensions out I realized that my hair was way more than I could handle, at first. After, washing and conditioning I was left with a real mess on my hands. I had not worked with my natural hair since 1981 the year I graduated high school. WOW…. was I in for a surprise.
You know I work with our girl’s hair all the time, but I had completely forgotten what my natural hair was like. My arms got tired, my head was sore from all the combing and what style could I work with.  But more importantly what style would my family like. I realized I was more concerned about what others thought of my hair than I did….It was more about them than anything…So I had to stop and say hey…”This is the hair I was given, I can’t change that. However, I can learn to work with it.” So I am now working w/my natural hair. I am realizing that my hair can do all sorts of things….I am also realizing that I have to be positive about my hair so our daughters don’t grow up thinking their hair is bad. Change can be difficult, but sometimes it is necessary.  So being positive about my hair begins with me being positive about me!
I promise I will not stay away so long again….So let me hear from you and what is happening with your hairy days.
