Well, lets see where do I start. Yesterday I had a bright idea that I would roll my twists on perm rollers so that today when I took them out, my hair would be "really" curly all the way to end. So I got home and began rolling up those twists, and had the most DREADFUL sleep ever. Those dern things hurt. It took my half way through the night to find a position to sleep in that didn't feel like my head was going to fall off. I woke up this morning in anticipation of seeing the outcome of my "bright idea". I took out the rollers, and man was my my hair curled up tight to my head. I'm thinking to myself, how is this really going to turn out? I begin separating my twists, and WOW - nothing what I expected. It turned out "bad"...I had a huge afro puff sitting on top of my head with no order to it all.
But this is the surprising part - I didn't freak out. I really didn't freak out. Normally I would have panicked, cried, and called in sick to go to the salon and get that beast tamed. But this morning, NO I just looked at it, loved it, and said oh well we will try again. I did call my girlfriend at work and asked her if she would put two french braids in it when she came in. She said YEP! So Thank God for the french braid in the bush.
I'm learning that this process is trial and error. You can't get discouraged, you can't give up, eventually if you keep going forward you will end up where you were supposed to be anyway. And that is just not with your hair, but with anything in life. So on Saturday night, I'm going to tackle my tresses again and attempt another two strand twists. I'm thinking to myself the twists probably have to stay in my hair longer than 2 days??? Umm, I don't know but I will keep it moving, no matter what.
My hair didn't cooperate, but that didn't stop me from loving it and loving me today!
