Here are a few of my favorites:
more to come…(I hope!)
I’ve had to find a new beautician. The one I started my hair journey on can’t seem to fit me in for an appointment. Oh well for that.
Thursday I’ll be trying someone new. Her salon is across the street from my office, so if nothing else, she’ll be extra convenient. Now I just have to see if she knows how to work with natural hair. My biggest fear is using too much heat, being too scissor happy and being a one trick (style) pony. I’ve seen her work and she seems to have a knack for maintaining/growing long hair. Both she and the three clients I’ve seen have very long hair…one has a really great short cut that I love.
I’m more of a short style girl myself, but with this new hair journey I am focused on growing my hair out. I believe it gives more options for my natural hair, especially since it will look shorter with shrinkage.
During my upcoming visit I plan on getting a good hair cut that gives me some style while keeping me on track with growing out these awful layers. I also want to make sure I have someone who can maintain healthy hair. If she does alright during this visit, I might start going to the salon more often, at least until I get more length. It would be nice to take a break from doing it myself.
I didn’t expect to write so much, so my next post will highlight some of my hairstyle ideas.
From Rihanna’s interview in Glamour magazine…
“Rihanna: I hope I find love in the next 10 years—that will be pretty annoying if I am 31 and still have never been in love!”
Imagine being 35 and still trying to find it.
I was talking with some friends about Homecoming and why I wasn’t going. I told them it wasn’t that big of a deal and the drive was too long, but the real deal is that I don’t have any friends to really hang with.
Sure I can bounce around from group to group, but that sh*t gets old. I’m tired of being on the fringe. I’m only expending time and energy when I’m in the fold. Otherwise, I can stay with my people here that are my circle and keep my money in my pocket. I will make the effort for a big reunion year, but otherwise, what’s the point? My alums are some funky folks at times and I can see them and their funky attitudes for free at home, lol.
Just plain envious!
