That jet lag was a killer. I am still trying to get adjusted which is why I have not posted. So, let's see...uhm, my hair held up nicely until Saturday. I went to the football game and it was a rainy mess out there. I mean it's all good right cause it's just hair. I came home and used a wide tooth comb and gently combed the curls out. I put a headband on and that was the end of that. Today I oiled my hair with shea butter and parted it into two sections (in the back - no part in the front) made two braids and kinda did a bantu knot situation with them. I added a headband and that was that for today. I have no intentions of doing anything to my hair until Monday night or even Tuesday. I am doing really great. I haven't used heat on my hair since I started this process and I really have no intentions of doing so.
This is what I was looking like....and no I did not give a flip.
I am really enjoying getting to know my hair. I truly feel like this is a different kind of spiritual journey. I am learning things about myself and my surroundings. Such as I am a patient person (when it is required), I am becoming more observant of people and things around me and I am paying more attention to the types of products that I use. Funny thing is my husband and I are very heath conscience people and we are food label stalkers but never once had I considered reading the labels of the prodcuts that I use on my skin and hair. Have you ever really read that list? I mean I would never eat something that has an ingredients list that is a mile long so why in the hell am I putting something on my skin or hair that has a list that long? What goes on your skin and scalp eventually get inside of you just like food. Just something to think about.
Peace, Love & Bantu Knots
