OOH! Girl, u got dat "GOOD" HAIR !!

soo, tonight, me and my Beee* (that's what i call my best friends because they're beyond just friends) sat in the living room and had a hair epiphany.  after much consideration, and "research" through Black Hair magazine, Beee* and i decided that we wanted to ditch society's idea of flat ironed beauty and opt for a more natural, thicker, healthier look.  

we decided that the only reason that we wear the long flowing weaves, and the straightened out hair is because we feel as though it is what is expected.  now, i cannot, and will not, speak for her, but this is how i feel...

my hair has more than defined me.  in other words, i'm not wearing the hair, the hair is wearing me.  i couldn't go a day without making sure my hair looked perfect; if my hair wasn't done, the outfit wasn't done.  most of the time, i'd had a premeditated hair style designated for each and EVERY outfit in my closet.  chunky sweaters got long and flowy, flirty crop tops got soft, bushy curls, "club" outfits got sleek and sexy; i was a ROBOT.  

i was not living. 

so a few weeks ago, i sat down and thought about why i do the things that i do (or the lack there of) to my hair.  my poor hair has been through it ALL !! color, weaves, a LOT of weaves, straightening, excess heat, i've even had a relaxer before.  and now that i am all natural, idk wtf to do with my hair!! my poor locks are STRESSED and it's getting to me (which would make sense since i held my hair to such high standards)  

here's a few pics of me throughout the past 5 months. . .

as you can see, i went THROUGH it !! 

i realized that i went through so many different style options because i've been surrounded and influenced by different people.  my boyfriend has hair CASCADING (yes, cascadinggggg) down his back in thick, healthy, natural dread locks.  my Beees* have either long relaxed hair or a long, luxurious weave.  i'm at a crossroads. i feel like if i'm not trying to au naturel myself just from being around him then i'm trying to glam the f*%# up because i'm surrounded by beyonce-esque beees* .. whatever the case may be, i need my own identity and i believe that it may start with my hair.  hair transformations can be very liberating for women and i believe that i am no different.. 

i am currently trying to go darker and all natural so i'll try and log my "hair journey" lol

so with that being said... 

wish me luck !!

and patience, because it is a virtue that i do not possess
