Revelations....

For the past few weeks, I've haven't had good feelings towards my hair.

Questions swirling around my head:

"Why isn't it growing"
"Why am I hiding my hair under these braids"
"Why can't my hair be that length NOW"
"How long will I have to wait???"

Its very disheartening.

You know, I really like kinky twist extensions, but I've spent most of my life hiding my hair behind them because it made me feel good about myself, it made me feel pretty.

And now I'm hiding behind the extensions again because I haven't fully embraced my hair.

I wondered, how can I love myself and not my hair?

I'll be completely honest, I'm still having a hard time accepting my naps. I think my issue is the length of my hair. I want it to be longer so I can do funky twist, up-do's, braids and whatnot. But I can't do that right now because my hair isn't at that length I want it to be.

I need to be more patient.

It doesn't help that my hair could have been WAY longer if I was more informed about natural hair care in the past as I am now.

But whatever, no need crying over spilled milk.

Anyway, I don't want to rely on extensions to give me the kind of style I desire, I want to use my own hair dammit lol. I don't feel like MYSELF right now because of my hair.

So I decided that next month, I'm going to take these braids out and put extensions on hold until the wintertime and just learn to WORK with my hair.

And to be honest, I MISS my hair, I haven't done a henna treatment in 2 1/2 months! That's wayyyy to long for me and I just miss giving my hair some TLC.

So, mini braids here I come!
