So today marks my 4 month anniversary from the "Creamy Crack" as I like to call it. Wow! I can't believe I have not jumped ship and gone back to getting my hair relaxed. I know its only been 4 months but I have learned so much about my hair, but more importantly about myself. I told my husband this morning that this journey has been challenging but bitter sweet. It feels good to not really "trip" out over my hair. Not worrying about sweating out my good perm, or hot and humid days attacking my just flat ironed tresses. I don't mind sweating out my hair to get in a good workout - something I never though I would do! Actually this past weekend my husband and I played racquetball together - I locked myself up in a hot box, smacking a red ball around, sweating profusely for one hour and not once did I think about my hair. I got a chance to spend some quality time with my husband, and take care of my temple.
Tonight I'm going to attempt to do something that I haven't done since I was a teenager - WASH MY OWN HAIR. I have always been so afraid of my hair, and the way it curls up and locks up on me when I wash it. But today, I feel confident that I can face that fear and actually give it a shot. When I told my husband he told me "you can do it". He even told me that he likes my new natural. So a sister is feeling really inspired, off to Carol's Daughter I went to get my products.
I got their new co-wash conditioner, hair milk (original), and hair pudding (gonna try to two strand twist it). Not sure what the outcome will be when I awake in the morning, but whatever it is, I promise to embrace it, embrace me, embrace my locks and ROCK IT THE BEST WAY I CAN!
