My life can currently can be summed up in three words: work, babysitting, and eventually school. And i have a new hair color. Well how that came about is a rather intresting story. So i was trying to go the natural route, and decided to have my friend cut off my relaxed ends; however i had nooo idea how to deal with my natural hair texture, additionally a lot of my hair was cut off, so i was left with a short afro. So i called my friend up really quickly & she hooked me up with some extensions. On another note my whole objective was to embrace my natural texture, which in retrospect would have me embrace my natural African features. Because for awhile now the world's schema regarding beauty has always included straight hair & generally cacausiod features; whilst African features or features outside that realm have been dismissed. Hence im somewhat disappointed that i put straight extensions in, rather than just embracing my natural hair. It might sound like im being strangely analytical about such a blase situation, but im not. I forgot to add, i miss my dark hair.
