A great weekend
First and foremost I bought Beyonce’s Lemonade to see what was going on because it was in the news everywhere it seems. Let’s just say I have watched the visual album a good 5 times and listened to the album waaaaaay too many times already. No regrets though.
Now moving on…
I almost ALMOST killed my natural hair with a relaxer. I know I know, why when I made it 4 months without one?
It was just frustrating me how dry my hair felt and seem like it couldn’t do anything. I didn’t even want it straight, just wanted it to look decent without it a level 2000 on the frizzy chart. I was just highly irritated on so many levels.
What saved it was hanging out with K this weekend after not seeing each other for 2 months. Literally haven’t seen her since we came back from Europe. Went to Seoul for the first time since we had our final dinner before the trip in February and the same night I met up with Mr. Ghetto. That was the last time I was in Seoul for anything. Since then I went to the airport in Incheon and that’s it. So yeah it’s been ages for a ton of stuff. Felt nice and it also allowed me to get used to taking the bus to and from Seoul without feeling lost.
We hung out, ate, and caught up on a ton of stuff. It was a great time including us laughing so hard on the bus we could barely breathe but didn’t care. She helped talked me out of a relaxer too. Thanks, homie.
Like I was battling with myself, especially the fact that I’m now going on my 5th-month post-relaxer. I have already made it a third of the year without one. That’s a lot of time invested. On top of it these are some of the most difficult months in general. The struggle is so real. Was thinking about getting a protective style soon, so I won’t be worrying about it constantly.
This morning, I decided to wash and deep condition it since it needed to be washed anyways. Tried a different leave-in conditioner that I bought and oh my sweet goodness it made a difference. Hair is so much softer and more manageable. My curls were even more noticeable and the frizz level was way down.
I almost cried.
Realized that maybe in a year my natural hair will be the length of what my hair was before I started since I kept it short anyways if not longer. And, another thing that got me is that I love the thickness of it, I miss my thick hair. I’m being good and staying away from heat, last thing I need to do is mess up my hair as it grows. So, hopefully, this month it will get somewhat easier.
I have other news but I shall make another post about that.
Until…a few minutes from now haha
