Baby Hair, Where did that come from?

Baby Hair? Where did that come from? So I'm standing in the mirror last night as I let down my two strand twist and lo and behold I see something that I haven't seen in years - very fine baby hair gracing my forehead. I touched them with caution, not sure of what to expect. And then I realized it, my hair was thanking me for ''freeing" her. It's amazing the little things we take for granted, I never knew that I would get such a feeling from seeing those precious baby hairs.

So, back to my twists. I took down my twist (I had a pin up) so that I could retwist some of my hair with this "shea butter" (Brand: Beautiful Curls) I purchased from Whole Foods, and can I say WOW!! My curl definition and pattern is OFF THE CHARTS!! My hair was so soft, so springy, so kinky, and yet so amazing. Does this sound weird? That I'm falling in love with my hair. Well I am, I stood there looking at it as if it was the first time I had ever seen it, wondering why it took me so long to find my way back to her, yet so grateful that I have.  I know that we have a long journey to go, but I'm so excited.

Catch this - I was talking to my co-worker this morning and she said what are you planning to do with you hair for your vacation? My original plan was to go to the salon and get my staple straw set, but I quickly, without hesitation said: I think I may do it myself. What? Did I hear myself right? Do it yourself? Ummm, its a thought that I'm highly considering so we will see.

I'm going to Sally's today to get some perm rods so that I can roll my twists, in preparation for my twist out, cause I still got some relaxed ends that won't curl quite yet. So we will see how that turns out - I will keep you posted.
