Hindsight...

Thinking back to when I first had to BC, I remember how much I hated my hair, how damaged and harsh it looked, let alone recovering from a near fatal illness. I wasn't prepared for how I would look and what made it worse was the damage state of my hair because of my deteriorated health. As both my health and hair slowly recover, I am (as I've written before) falling in love with my hair. I appreciate, now, taking time to learn how to care for my hair, listening and feeling for changes: too oily, too dry, too crunchy, knowing when to co-wash or deep condition, feeling comfortable with not doing anything at all to my hair. The list is endless. I have a new appreciations for myself and how "wonderfully made" we are by Jehovah. I appreciate taking care of what I have been given, both from within and otherwise. Love.
