Did I Ask Your Opinion?

Well it's been a few days since I last posted. Nothing really new is going on, same journey, different challenges. I just had my first "product throw away". I told you that I was trying the Hollywood Beauty Olive Oil Cholesterol for a Deep Conditioner, well after 2 uses I decided that its not a good fit for my hair.

I tried it again this weekend, and it did not give me the moisture that I was looking for, and it left my hair feeling dry and brittle. So I'm going to now try my own concoction. I really do LOVE the Trader Joes Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner, it really does leave my hair feeling nice and it melts away the tangles like a champ. Anyway, I've decided that I'm going to put together the following concoction, based on another blogger's recipe:

1/2 cup Trader Joe Tea Tree Conditioner
3 tablespoons of Honey
2 teaspoons of Coconut Oil

So the next time I do a Deep Conditioner which will probably be in 2 weeks, I will let you know the results. So I'm learning as I go what works and what doesn't, very interesting. The stuff that used to work on my relaxed hair, not so much now that my hair is transitioning.

Anyway, back to the Title of the blog. So today I came to work with my two strand twist (rolled at the end) still in my hair from my hair session this weekend. First time anyone has seen my hair in the twist. But what I did was just pulled them back with a bobby pin, so I thought it looked pretty decent (see pic above). Well my co-worker came up to me this morning before even saying Good Morning and says and I quote "I don't like your Hair"...ummm. I'm so glad I have JESUS in my life (no really), cause what was about to roll of my tongue would not have been nice for my Good Christian, Preacher Lady self. So I "kindly" said oh really, that's too bad and then I walked away.  Did I ask you for your opinion of my hair?

I told my Hair - "Forgive her for she knows not what she does" (LOL). But surprisingly, I did not catch any feelings about her comment, because at this point I'm so so so in Love with my hair I really don't care what anyone says.

Me and My Hair are secure in who we are these days, we have embraced our "newness" and we are walking with our Head held high! People don't have to "like" my hair, but I need to be sure that I always "love" her. In the words of the late great Whitney Houston "And I will always Love you".....
