So I know it has been a really really long time since I have posted anything on my blog. Needless to say a lot has been going in my life and I've been trying to get it figured out...But I have decided to do something extremely big at least for me and I can't keep it in any longer...
For the past few months, I have struggled with the maintenance of my hair. I've never been a hair person, never been good with styling, coming up with and sticking to a routine or any of that stuff and because of it my hair has never been at its best. NO matter how many more YouTube videos I watch or websites I look at I can never be consistent. Right now in my life, I NEED to feel as though I look good everyday. Lately I've been rocking a itsy bitsy fro with a headband. Its not picked out and its constantly breaking off....I just don't feel cute. I don't feel attractive and appealing.
I'm typically not a shallow or vain individual, but I need something to feel right, something to boost my confidence. With all of this being said, I have decided to lock my hair. I do not have the time or patience to twist it up every night, my job does not permit to wear cute funky hairstyles, and its not good to straighten it all the time. So the solution is SISTERLOCKS. All I have to do to them is literally wash and go. No moisturizers, no deep conditions, no twisting, just wash when I need to and go.
I know it will be a journey for me, they will not look amazing in the beginning, but like I said it is a journey for me. It is also a spiritual journey. One of my biggest obstacles that keep me from having the relationship I want with God is my attachment to earthly things and emotions.
I've always had my qualms about locks due to their permanence. And me feeling like I'm going to MISS MY FRO, MISS THE BIGNESS OF MY FRO, THE TWISTOUTS, THE BRAIDS and so on. Are you catching my drift???
If I can go through with this, this will show myself and God that I'm serious about making her first. If I can go through with this then I can detach from anything and not let money, clothes, shoes, or my emotions influence my decisions.
I know this may seem farfetched, but these are my thoughts.
I posted a decision about hair on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rkC2P64Yxo) and plan on tracking this new journey that I'm embarking on....I hope you'll join me :-)
