27 Years of Hair {My Hair Journey}

My hair has been natural, relaxed, short, colored, shaved, braided and everything else imaginable. Check out the video below to see a snippet of what my hair has gone through for the past 27 years.

Enjoy.

I've been known to switch my hair up at the drop of a dime, literally. These are just a few hairstyles that I've had so far this year. Hair is hair, I've cut it, color it, weaved it , braided it, anything imaginable with it. Sometimes I feel like my hair is the only thing that I can control and plus I love the fact that I can change it. When you get a new hairstyle sometimes you feel like a new person. Like India Aire says "I am not my hair".

See you with the next style,

Approved

Ahhhh, the beloved Stamp of Approval. As much as we would like to think that we do not need anyone's approval to live our life, we secretly crave for it. Especially in decision making. We seek approval from our peers, our parents, our loved one's and even society in general. Now don't get it twisted, seeking approval does not necessarily mean that you are living for others. Now if you are looking to get approval on every single thing that you do in life, then you may need help. IJS.

Everyone who know's me, know's that I will change my hair in a quick second. It's usually based on how I am feeling or the what the next couple of weeks look like. With the New Year, no longer new anymore, I wanted to make some changes in my life concerning my health and money and such. We all know that weave can become costly and is really a recreational product that we choose to use. So I'm thinking of saving money by not purchasing any weave for the year 2013. I was going to perm it, because I felt like it was the easier to handle as well as up keep with my job and other things in life. But then, of course I want to work out, and I this and that and everything else.

The events of this weekend led me to wear my hair out, which led me to go to the job site wearing my hair out, which led to the approval of my co-workers. Of course after coming home at 2 AM, to find out you can't get into your apt (another post entirely), to having to sleep over your friends house and waking up 3 hours later, you really don't care what you or your hair looks like.

So now it's Monday morning and compliments, thumbs up, and double takes have given me the confidence and energy to feel good about my hair. As human's we may not verbally say we want a compliment, but we secret seek the approval of others. I think it's healthy, because then it helps up to improve and keep doing what we are doing. Especially when the satisfaction of others is present.

Now that I am "out of the NATURAL Hair closet", I will wear my hair proudly and maintain it for healthy growth and progress. Which of course I will keep you posted on.

All in all, God's stamp of approval is the utmost needed and wanted.

26 and Counting

July 15, 2012 Dinner at Negril, NYC

Now that I have crossed over the quarter life mark I feel slight pressure to pursue my dreams harder and work towards them with a fervent spirit.

My 25th Birthday was AWESOME!!!!! and then it just went....Lately I've been feeling like I'm being complacent, but then I don't have any motivation either. I remember back in when I first moved to Texas I called up a friend and we were talking about where we were in life, and I remember mentioning that I don't have the faith that I use to have and I don't know where it went. His words to me were "Go get your faith back."

So here I am once again, but this time motivation is the one that has ran from me, and looks like I'll be reigning that in soon. Anyone, I'm done ranting, here's a recap of my Birthday weekend.
