Well...Well....Well.....

So it seriously feels like I am a trifling mother who has abandoned her baby in hopes that Jesus will her pick up and raise her right.

Please forgive my absence.

But I'm back!!!

I'm going to post like crazy today. Take some pictures this weekend of this wild hair. It's currently in mini-twists (thank the Lawwwdddd) and I will be taking them out to wash, deep condition, and refresh. These mini-twists have literally saved my life. I have been soooo close to cutting my hair OFF soooo many days.

After your hair gets to a certain length (which I am mentally at....physically almost there!), it gets so much more tangled and becomes more of a hassle to deal with. My single strand knots have increased (probably because I was lacking on the protective styling) and the length difference between the front of my hair and the back is becoming more apparent. I would love to wear low buns but they just don't work because my bangs/front of my hair/the part I HAD to chop because of heat damage still have some catching up to do.

For the remainder of the summer, I will put myself on a set regimen to really get the most moisture and protection for my hair. The MOST important thing that I have decided to do this summer is continue to wear scarves and turbans. Natural women have the urge to wear their hair out and free during the summer however, this is when your hair is most susceptible to dryness and damage. Even if you moisturize your hair regularly, exposing your hair to the sun allows the sun to evaporate all the moisture you just put in. Usually I moisturize and seal then put of my headwrap of choice. Also, the direct sunlight to my hair makes my scalp really hot....it literally feels like my head is on fire. NEGATIVE!!! I'll continue to wear my headwraps ALL year around. Woot!

If you do wear your hair out & about...PLEASE remember to seal your hair with some type of oil. This will give you an extra layer of protection against 'moisture evaporation'.

I'm about to run out to grab lunch with my mommy. Be back soon!!!!

*Awww.....it feels great to post again*

Love, Peace, and Soul Glo
