Understanding

Really... I need some understanding for the comments I receive about being natural and wearing out my hair. Honestly I am being called crazy for it #shrug. Like going natural and wearing it out is a means of going crazy.

Some woman who happens to be a casual acquaintance comes up me with a sing song voice saying "Picky head ... picky head. Look at that picky head." Then asks me why I am wearing it out if I intend to get a perm to straighten it out.

Now I am aware that my original expression may have not been welcoming after her statement but I don't feel that I should have to confirm or deny my reasons for going natural and wearing my hair out. It is my choice to wear a wig, weaves or rock the twa. Not to be criticized by some heifer that doesn't know me #needs2getalife. In the BVI we have some a small culture #sigh I will have to go back to my American ways and just ignore what I don't care to hear.

Then I was made aware of the fact that I should texturize my hair to make it "softer" so that it has a "looser curl pattern". So why don't I just go ahead a relax my hair all over again? Honestly, am I asking for too much? I know the comments are well meaning and that it is a new style for me but can't you respect my decision without making it about what YOU think it should be.

Honestly I want to see what my hair will look like as it grows and gets body. Also I intend to wear it out sometimes because I can't see myself under wigs for the long run. Yes I don't have the "good" hair but I love it and I want to discover my hair's texture since I have never seen it or had to deal with it myself. However, am I asking too much? Maybe I am... but I think respect and understanding goes both ways.

Camera died

The topic says it all. The damn thing just up and died on me. I want to just bash it... My day is not going right.

1. My hair looks like crap (see previous post)
2. My friends are in shock (*Shrug*... Don't know why)
3. My camera dies... Found it yesterday and it dies today
4. The damn BVI movie theater did not bring Conan!!!! (*cries*)

Depends on how the day goes I may have some more things to add.

Wearing this thing to work

Ok. Officially I don't know how to wear my hair properly but rocking a twa that suits my face (in my opinion) is hard. It starts out nice and soft and by the time I get to work it just gets hard (*sigh*).

My attempts:

As you can tell from my expression I didn't really like it today but I am wearing it anyway

Braids

Ok, These braids were a catastrophe. I put them in on the 29 of July 2011 and took them out 1 week later. Yep, just one week.

They had started to fall out. (*shakes head*). Sigh... My ever loving hair began to unravel from the "natural braids" that I put in. But I rocked them for the first week. Below is the one and only style I got to take a picture of. Enjoy!

Styling attempt

I tried. Really I tried to style my twa aka. teeny weeny afro ( I learned something new... haha). But the hair clip I made over powered everything. So, I put on my wig. pinned it up and made a nest for my flower to rest in. I will try and make another attempt tomorrow.

Hopefully I can master the twa by Monday.

Lost my camera

Ok, I had pictures of my last set of natural braids but I lost my camera. My braids only lasted 1 week and a day...lol...Yep that short. My freaking hair unwrapped from the braids and they started to fall out. So I just gave up... I wish I had known this before I spent all that money doing it.

So today, I am washing my hair. I did the apple cider vinegar, apple juice and olive oil as a rinse. Then I am going to try a protein treatment and then use my wen.

Wish me luck
