Ya’ll it’s been a JOURNEY loving my hair. I’ve been relaxed, natural, texturized, and back to natural. Today I wouldn’t trade my texture of hair for anyone else’s. I’m proud of it and I love it.

Detangling: Wetting, Combing, applying product, and twisting. They are normal everyday ordinary things that most people do on a daily basis.

The key for me was a shift in emotion and mindset. I needed love and patience, not only with my hair, but with myself. I’m learning to shift the language of detangling time into “pampering” time. I’m learning to shift the negativity around shrinkage to thinking about how much more room my hair has to grow without worrying about the breakage that can happen when it touches my shoulders. I’m learning that it’s okay to occasionally wash my hair and wait to detangle it later in the day when I have more time and patience. A wash-and-go puff looks just fine and my edges don’t always have to be slicked down. Ain’t nobody looking at my hair like that anyway!
