On the Horizon
Alright.
I’m going to do it.
I’m going to grow out my relaxer and go natural.
I guess people would think I am the last person to do such a thing just because I’ve always been known for my long-ish hair. I’m actually just reaching my target length (middle of my back), but it’s been at a cost…I don’t have the healthiest tresses in the world. My hair is quite fragile and grows really fast, so relaxing it every few weeks due to an inch of new growth isn’t the best thing to do.
It seems like my hair would be stronger and healthier if I let it “do what it do” naturally…
I’m sure my mother will have a heart attack though, lol…
Over the past few months, I’ve been noticing the unprocessed hair of people I know and they have really great healthy hair. In fact, GAM’s hair was one of the first things I noticed about him. He wore it kind of wild and it was made up of the tiniest ringlets. I enjoyed pulling on them and saying “Boing!” to myself…(Whateva! He liked it! Apparently it’s a sleep aid among other things…)
Since then he’s gotten locks. I kind of miss our boing moments, but that’s alright.
Anyway…
It’ll be interesting to see what my real hair looks like.
I’m going to get my mind right and try to do it starting January 1.
