Expectations

While I impatiently await the arrival of my oils and supplies, my hair is itching to be free. Each day is trying as I wish my damn oils would arrive so I can jumpstart this hair journey.

Anyhoots, here are some things I promised myself when I begin this journey...

1.) No more looking at photos at Nappnaturality.com. Everyone hair is different, everyone hair grows at a different rate, so no need to compare how long my hair is to XYZ at 3 months. It won't do me any good.

2.) EAT BETTER AND TAKE MY VITAMINS....which is pretty self explanatory.

3.) To care for my hair and realize all the myths that I grew up believing(u shouldn't wash your hair so much, don't grease your hair while wet because it causes buildup, etc)were just that, myths.

4.) Don't expect my hair to grow into a big afro after one month, hair growth takes time and I have to learn to have patience with my hair, it.will.grow, especially if I treat it right!

5.) To stop reflecting on disappointment. I look back at time when I went natural at 2005 and I believe that my hair would be right where I wanted it to be had I been more adamant about taking care of my hair. I have to learn to let the past go and there is no need to cry over spilled milk. I am making the changes NOW and that is all what matters.
