So I am basically here to have a hair rant and feel that this is the appropriate platform for that and know that someone out there would feel my pain.
I am seriously sick of being a girl!
No. Like.. For real.
As in we get too much wahala sha?!
I recently made a bold and tough decision to transition over from being relaxed to natural and even though it has only been a few months I am honestly SICK AND TIRED of this ish! Like I do not understand why it has to be so complicated? If you know me you will know that I was never really sucked into that whole 'Brazilian babe' 'tantalising l'omo' sturvz. I decided to give it a go and I can honestly say I have only used my Brazilian a total of three times! Pathetic right? Well no to be honest! I see it as if it is not your style then it is not your style. Simple and short. So that right now is not even an option for me.
The whole having to straighten my leave out and having to relax if it had been left a bit too long was becoming a bloody hassle! I have always been that babe that does my own hair unless laziness is slapping me differently or if I am seriously strapped for time. So I thought that by transitioning I will see less of my hairdressers and spend quality time with my hair!
What I failed to take into consideration though is that hair does not grow like on those magic dollies (even though I really wish it did) and the process takes years of nurturing and giving excess attention and love to the mane. I cut my hair a few years ago after being really tired of my hair and absolutely LOVED the style and cut and rocked it for a good year. Butttt as always I got really tired of it and wanted something different. I tried to go natural and to be honest that only lasted a grand total of 3 months before I kissed it goodbye and returned to the creamy crack.
A quick bit of history: I did not actually relax my hair until I got to college! I loved the way all the babes dem has the straight hair that stayed in place while mine was a disaster and the most fancy thing I done at the time was a roller set.
But to tell you the God's honest truth I hate the relaxed look on me! I just want my curls of back then to make a return...the cute Afro! The ability to put it through stressss and it still coming out solid on the other end!
So I am finally embarking on the journey again and I am inviting you to go through it with me and help me through it. I already know it is/ will be difficult but I have done 4 months so far and intend to continue. I will not be doing a big chop because I am just not comfortable to do it just yet. It may happen in the future, but for now... I'm good.
What I really need from you guys though is any cute hairstyles for a transitioning babe with short hair pleaseeeeee! Below are a few pictures or my current hair state! If you have any ideas please help your sister gurl h'out lol x
Colour Me Beautiful x
