I'm about 8 months into this natural hair journey of mine and I'm happier and happier I decided to go natural. I have to be honest, not every day is so giddy. Lately I find myself looking for ways to tuck my coils away in protective styles that allow me to take a break from the necessary styling. Not because I don't like my hair but it can get tedious having to pick out my hair - into my signature afro - or condition it for my curlier days. It just requires I do something to it every day. I may not be going out, but I know my family gets tired of me looking crazy around the house or with a rag tied on my head.
Natural hair, especially when it's shorter and unwilling to be pulled into a ponytail, just demands more time. Plain and simple. But there are days I simply lonnnnng for the ease of a ponytail.
Funny thing is, I have a, as we speak, a puff of a ponytail on the back of my head. It's so cute, only half of my hair, and I'm so glad it's growing...it's strong...it's beautiful. It only gets more so with every passing month.
