Going to soak in as mush youthfulness as I can this week.
Thinking about the pointy nails I was setting my heart to, I decided not to. Fixing nails will just be me running away from the REAL problem. In this case, my chronic nail-biting. When events pop up, I hide the ugly nails under some acrylic falsity. Now i'm thinking that it's time for me to STOP. I'll admit, it IS an addiction. All too often we're ready to criticise people for smoking, drug abuse, alcoholism, etc. Yes those are more dangerous forms but so many things we do are addictions. I've decided to into nail-biting rehab. I'm already two days
On the subject matter of running away, I am now facing the huge dilemma of putting in extensions in time for partying this birthday weekend. It IS Afro-kinky twists and still true to my natural state of hair but it's me once again escaping from the problem of being incapable of taking care of my natural hair. *sigh*. 2 years natural and I'm still incapable of TLC for my hair. It just seems like a LOT to do. I blame all the online sources of info, tbh, I've stopped going to MOST of them. The incessant hammering of what to or not to do to my hair. The poor thing was growing perfectly before I started experimenting. That's me just shifting responsibility for my shortcomings... pshhh. Anyhoos, I'm back to the basics of washing, conditioning and styling. I'm tossing complexities out. Let's see if I can make it to the weekend.
I'm even thinking something simple like this. My hair is already dyed (with mad roots). A basic blowout; but will it last a whole night of dancing? O_o

Soooo, now that I've shared mine, are there any problems you are running from or covering up?

Breakouts/ visible pores *sighh*
I feel you on the whole information overload thing..lol. Sometimes less is really more.
Anon::: haha! Right? At a point my scalp was itching soooo bad from shea butter (iThink). Bye to all that jazz.
A Basic blow-out should work especially as you have color. I don't see why it wouldn't last the nite...
I hear you on the info overload mehn...
I really need to lose weight, SMH.
On the hair, honestly I have no inclination for all those step 12345 for natural hair. I wash, condition, oil, and my hair is growing fine. A blow or comb out shout be fine (that's my daily style), just don't rest on something with your head. :)
i dont even bother with all the information
i really cant be bothered
i am 1 and a half year into the natural thing
and protective styling is it oh
i cant even shout
Happy birthday in advance
have a last this weekend love
R one::: a real overload. But yes, I think I shall do that. Hopefully I don't chicken out
Myne::: pls o! Not now that your hand is recovering. Lol. But I feel on the basics.
BBB::: what's weird is that protective styling of my natural hair in some sense it pretty damaging. My hair is super kinky so it just knots it. I'm talkin in terms of twist outs abd things. I've found diff ways to protect it tho. Hoping for the best.
