I <3 this thread. Gorgeous hair! Great patience.
Thank you. Man it was rough. You know what is strange...when I did the BC I was away at my moms. I loved my hair (still do). She loved it. We played with my hair, I let it be free. I wasn't fussing over it, I would just admire it from time to time.
Now ever since I got back home...not so much. I mean like enjoying my hair and being in love with it (like I said, i still love it). I really think my environment (family) is playing a slight part. Its just a bunch of little things affecting my relationship with my hair.
Like where I'm staying now (w/ my aunt) I swear the water is harder. My hair was much softer at my moms and it did its own things. But home...I dunno. Then I guess I AM a little self-conscious (sp). But by my mom, I didn't give a flip. I wore my hair out, wild, poofy, curly, without a care in the world. (My mom even said I walked with more confidence)
I really think environment can affect your hair (not all the way, but you get why i'm trying to say).
I really think my hair "FELT" the love when I was by my moms (that were it flourished), and maybe now its feeling the negativity/ignorance in the air now that I'm back (its acting up ya'll).
Don't get me wrong, I'm committed to being a natural for the rest of my life, but this was just something I noticed.
