Our Hair-Story
Last night while out to dinner with the girls, our conversation shifted (of course) to health & beauty rituals. As Women our hair is serious beezness especially for women of color! We are such colorful, creative creatures when it comes to our crowning glory...we can do & wear it all (fabulously) in every style texture length or color, but sometimes it comes at a high cost!! Hair health is something that we are all concerned about. With more of us transitioning to naturalista's coming out of our wigs, braids, weaves and relaxers unfortunately many of us are left with the damaging effects..revealing receding hairlines, no edges and thinning hair It's so unfair and hurtful!!
All we ever wanted was versatility and manageability!!! (hence; Relaxers, wigs, too tight braids and weaves) I can remember being a little girl wearing my ponytails and braids. I also remember getting my hair done by my beloved mom, grandma or auntie's. Tender-head (check) pulling and tugging my brains out (check), me wiggling and ouch's (check check) lol!! Funny now but back then not so much..getting my hair done was like torture!! I know that it was all in effort to keep my nappy, curly, kinky hair manageable, tight and looking neat (I totally understand).
Boy have times changed and so they should...when you know better you do better! Mad props to Beyonce for getting it right..by letting little Blue Ivy's natural hair go wild and free she is giving her daughter a shot at having a healthy mane and self image...not to mention the ability to embrace her natural roots!! Way to forget the Nay Sayers Bey!! New products are surfacing everyday to help restore our edges, hairlines and thinning hair, share what's worked for you or what is working for you now!!! I want to hear about your hairstory, please send photo's too!! No shaming here we are all here in love on this journey together learning and doing the best we can.. much love to all for sharing the journey. These photos are mild...I did not want to post the other photos because they made me cry it's so painful to see what we have all gone through..Including me, see my previous post pic's below!
