The Absolute Worst Thing About Natural Hair

I'm sure you are reading the title thinking, how could someone actually utter those words; especially someone who's natural and claims to love it.  Well let me assure you that I am natural and I am loving it very much.  In fact it is 4 in the morning in I'm coiling my hair LOL.  Oh the joy!!!!

So what is the absolute worst thing about natural hair?  Let me tell you.  It's having a relaxer for most of your life and hardly having a reason to use the word detangle.  Yes detangle.  Therefore, when a sista went natural, what did she discover?  She discovered that she was very, very, very, tender headed.  Wow, I talked junk about tender headed people.  I use to say things like "get over it"or "toughen up chief."  But the longer my natural hair gets the greater my empathy.  With ever kink and ugly face, grueling headaches, tender scalp, and just shear unbearable pain I say to all you tender headed persons out there "I am truly sorry for my insensitivity!!!!"  I can't even imagine letting someone else comb my hair at this point, i am sure they would see the worst side of me.  So for now, my ugliness between my head and my comb will stay between me and the mirror.  

Stay beautiful!!!

Finger Coils

I finger coiled my hair last week and I loved it!!  It took about 2 to 3 hours and it lasted for about four days (because I need to wash my hair).  I used the Komaza Care Califia Styling Pudding and my hair was really soft to the touch, not weighed down, and very flexible with a nice hold.  NO FRIZZ!!!  Again I loved it, might do it again soon!!!!
