why is it that some people think its funny to make jokes about your hair being natural. i've noticed on other blogs this issue is not discussed. WHY? ima keep it all the way 100 and say its offensive to hear jokes on my natural hairs behalf. its not funny, its offensive, and i simply don't like it. lately i've had two particular friends make comments such as, nappy head, or maybe we can go to the store and get you a weave, when are you gonna go back to your other hairstyles, i'm just tryna figure out whats on top of your head.
i truly believe true friends and people who really do care about you would not make jokes about your hair. i admit it makes me mad, but it will also not stop my natural hair journey. insecure people have to continually put people down and make jokes at others expense. with that said, i will continue to blog about my hair journey and inspire others to not give up. it takes a lot for black females who've had relaxers, braids, or weaves most of there lives to go natural. i applaud those of you who stick with it no matter what the media may portray of the offensive comments you may hear. this journey can definitely make and break relationships.

working out with twists
i've never went running after just twisting my hair, but i'm about to now! hopefully it doesn't change the outcome of the twists when i take them out later on today. i will be sure to post a pic later of the twist out. i plan on letting them dry for a couple hours then taking them out to hopefully get a beautiful result. anything would be better then my last wash n go! while i'm on the topic of working out, i know there are other naturals out there or ladies in transition who also workout and i just want to say those of you who may be afraid to break the sweat, dont be scared! if anything, working out is GOOD for you and your hair! you may have to wash more often, i know i do... but it's worth the results and the way you feel after! ok, i'm off to go running!
wash n go gel

hot tub hair
super bowl Sunday i got into the hot tub. boy ol boy was my hair jacked up after that! it splashed the back of my hair a little and you obviously cant control the way others move around and about in a hot tub, which resulted in a mess on top of my head. before going natural i mostly wore my hair in braids which made it easy for swimming, running, and hot tubs. i've mastered the after gym hair, but the hot tub hair is something i obviously need to work on!

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.
