I have been thinking about my entry detailing Babe's (my hubby) reaction to my hair when I did the "big chop" and I remind myself to come back and update the evolution of said disapproval.
A week or so ago I went to a stylist who has natural hair and knows how to care for it..oh, and cut it, which was a good thing because after combing my hair out up and away from my scalp I needed a good trim. Who knew my hair would grow so fast?? Anyway, I planned on getting a good wash and deep condition because Babe agreed with me that I shouldn't get any cut. Any little curl that joined the coils covering my head were keepers in his opinion, or so I thought.
Not long ago I asked him if I should grow it out all wild and curly, okay, just grow it out and he says, "nah, I'm getting used to it being short, I like it." I immediately wore the "duh" face. I was, and still am, baffled.
So, at the salon I called him to get his final opinion and he says, "have her trim it and see what you think." So I did and it's beautiful. Much easier to manage, read: product and water makes it curl nicely, and keep moisturized. Rasheeda did her thang with this little 'fro.
The last thing I need women to know about going natural, whether you're considering it or just wondering WHAT I could have been thinking, is that a short, sexy, sassy 'do has the ability to make you feel like the "nubian princess" God made you to be. Again, I've never felt sexier and it shows in the way I dress and how flirtatious I've become with my man. I'm much more confident, it's kind of like there's no hiding behind the hair so you either embrace your newfound beauty or hide under a head wrap...which I do on bad hair days only.
So whatever his reasoning for changing his tune, Babe has his same ol' crazy, naggin' wife with a sassy new look and a fabulous outlook to boot. There's no denying it, I'm a new woman and he simply can't resist me. I love it!
