ZZirvingj it's a little over a week from today. March 3. I'm having a hard time getting a weave appt though. I don't want to trust just anybody with my hair. I had a few people I knew I could call but people want to be MIA and I don't want to pay out the behind for a weave. Especially since the hair was expensive. If all else fails I'll go up the street to the African shop and get them to cornrow my hair and then I'll come home and sew it myself.
As far as Rihanna's hair goes, I like the style she has now. The new haircut. Not any of the ones with the tracks in. She has a long bang over her face and the back is cut low. Not quite tapered but low.
I like my natural hair and the reason I went natural was because I got tired of dealing with my thin relaxed hair. I had finally gotten it to the point where it was healthy and wasn't breaking off all over the place anymore. I was seeing visible progress but it was just so thin. I knew my hair was thin/fine by nature (it runs on my dad's side) but for some reason I thought that it would thicken up some without the relaxer. It didn't. So that sucks. Also, I rarely wore my hair straight. I was always in curly/wavy weaves so I figured why spend all these hundreds of dollars on curly hair when I could grow my own. That's really why I went natural.
I really just want a nice style that has character. A style that looks good on me and is fashionable. Something that will go with my lifestyle, my clothes, my age, etc. And a wash and go or a bun (just about the only styles I do with my hair) is just not getting it. It's not giving me that "it" factor I desire. I miss my weekly salon visits (I went every week in high school) and being able to come out with a nice pretty style every time. When I was in college I didn't have the $$ for that but now I do. I seriously felt like I fell off when I was in college. I was used to everything being on point from top to bottom.
Yes, it's important to me to stay natural but I don't want to sacrifice style for looking like who shot john all the time either. It's like I go get my nails done, put my clothes on, put my makeup on and then you get to the hair and it's like
. Everytime I go somewhere (especially if I have to dress up) I wear a wig. I'm just tired of it. I'm starting a new job in a few weeks and I really want to go in there being myself.
