After everything's said and done...

November 4, 2009

After the henna, after the deep treatment, after the twist-and-curl, after it's all said and done, the results...Great. I like it, I really, really like it. The color is absolutely wonderful, deep brown almost black, with burgundy-auburn highlights. It warms my skin tone and is perfect for the fall. It's also full and thick! I am almost fooled to believe that it's already all natural. I see how this is going to be a challenging process or journey rather. My hair is definitely transitioning. I already have about an inch of growth. It's (my hair) saying:"Here I am, I don't lay to the side, flat like before. You have to acknowledge my presence." I have to admit, I am a little intimidated. I have dealt with my natural hair before, don't get me wrong, but it was way short. It was wash, curl, gel, and go type of hair. I never dealt with length and natural at the same time. I don't know how my hair will behave (or will it). Maybe I have to behave and appreciate deeper what Jehovah gave me and have been covering up all my life, my hair.
