My hair has not been this short since I was in elemenary school, back then I hated my hair in a curl. I am learning how to accept myself with no hair. I am also learning how to live with imperfection. Since I am restarting my hair journey with the knowledge of what I learned the first time there are some things I am doing different.
#1. I am allowing my hair to do what it wants. I am not going to force a style out of my hair. Today is a good example, I washed my hair, let it dry, slept on it and this morning I got up and left the house without any extra primping.
#2 I am using the bare minimal products in the most minimal way. I will only use natural shampoo and a little olive oil as my conditioner. I will wash my hair at least once a week or when needed. I will not be applying any other products to my hair beyond what I do when I wash it period. None of those products did anything special to my hair and I rather use a leave in after washing and I have not found any that I like more than olive oil.
#3 No more hiding my hair, behind head bands, scarves, wigs or fake braids! I will be wearing my fro as is.
#4 No more combs, from now on my fingers will be doing the parting and the detangling.
#5 My style objective is to cultivate long twist that I will treat like locks. I will twist once a month and wash and oil weekly.
I will relax and watch my hair grow and enjoy my new laid back journey!
