Almost Relaxed It

I ALMOST relaxed my hair!!!  I went to the drug store, bought a box (not the one above), and brought it home.  My 10 year old says to me, "MOMMY!!!  Are you going to relax your hair????!!!!", to which I answered , "no".  She asked, "are you going to relax MINE!?", with excitement in her eyes.  I shook my head no, and she just said, "ohhh", in a sad way. 


My hair is growing out now, and it's at a stage where I can ALLLLLMOST braid the very back, which was shaved down to a small fraction of an inch in July.  The top and sides are braidable.  I wouldn't go OUT with this little funny things sticking out of my head, mind you, but I am considering a salon nearby that does comb coils.  I need to do SOMETHING with it that I can keep moisturized for the Winter.  I also need a trim. 




Needing the trim makes my ends look dry.  As my mother so aptly asked me yesterday,


"Lynnn...do you put any GREASE in your head"??


  I hate that term....grease.  No, I don't greeeeze my headdddd.  LOL...I do use oils and moisturizers, etc (blog to come soon), but I steer from petroleum based products because, well, petro comes from the same stuff I put in my gas tank.  That's crazy.


I know many a natural that has toyed with re-relaxing.  I certainly did, but I have my blog sisters to keep me focused on the many styles and looks of the natural lady.  I have my Youtube girls to keep it real. 


And, I do love my natural hair.  So, I will give the box away as part of a Youtube giveaway or something.  LOL....whatever!!!!


Love to you,


Miss Honey
