listen to your hair

i realized i've been washing my hair more often now.  it really is true, you must listen to your hair!  lately i had been washing once a week, but now it seems as if my hair needs the water every couple of days.  instead of using shampoo every time, i've been washing with conditioner.  the conditioner makes my hair so soft, i love it and so does my hair.  it's very important to listen to your hair.

twist OUT pic

first off,this pic if from a twist out a couple days ago. i wore that style about 3 days. after my 5:30am work this morning i just wasn't feelin it anymore. so instead of completely re-washing my hair i sprayed with water and re-twisted. for some odd reason i'm thinking it's gonna come out looking really good, so i will post a pic later when i take out the twists.

side note... i've been hanging out with one of my friends who has dreads and the looks we get are crazy. it's hard to tell if people are just curious about our hair, admiring, hating, either way it's funny to me.

a couple days ago i posted about maybe wearing braids as a protective style, but i've definitely decided not to. if i did that, then what the ef would i blog about... my braids... naw, i'm good! haha.

another pic from the wash n go fro hawk last week.

ppls lil comments

something thats kind of annoying for me... when close friends know that i'm growing my hair natural, but occasionally make comments saying

"so, when are you gonna straighten your hair"

"how long is this fro faze gonna last"

"are you gonna comb your hair"

"i was looking at your older pics with different styles, maybe you should try one of those"

"is that a weave"

"is that a wig"

"can i touch it"

---i hadn't seen my older brother in about 3 years who is married to a caucasian female. after we talked for a few minutes he looks at my hair and says so what are you gonna do with your hair? what the! on this particular day i was rockn an AMAZING twist out!

those are just a few things that tend to get on my nerves. but, i'm sticking to it because i love my natural hair. my hair has so much shrinkage i'm waiting for the day when my twist out is HUGE!

protective style??

i'm thinking of doing a protective style, but at the same time i think i will just end up depressed because i love playing with my hair! my reason, because i'm starting to feel as if i trimmed to much off my hair when i went deadly with the scissors last week. i've had twists in since yesterday and will be taking them out today, so i think the will determine if i do a protective style or not. i kinda already leaning towards not because i dont want to break my hair off. we shall see.

my fro hawk thoughts

just wanted to give my thoughts on the wash n go i had yesterday with gel. i really didn't care for my wash n go yesterday. i really think the main reason was because of the gel in my hair. gel made my hair so hard, which i already knew was going to happen. i'm used to having a twist out with soft hair that feels good to the touch. maybe it was good that the gel kept my hands out of my hair, but me personally do not have a problem with putting my hands in my hair. i like the way it feels and how it looks with the twist out so much better. i'm sure i will have more wash n goes as my hair continues to grow, but as far as the gel... not a fan, don't like the hardening of my hair. i re-twisted my hair early this morning and will probably take the twists out 2day or 2morow.
