Well, one of my resolutions this year is to not straighten my hair anymore. No more flat iron. Well no, not forever. I will allow myself to go straight when I trim, but that's it. I've decided to stop giving into this feeling of wanting straight hair, only to not really be into it after it's done. I don't really like my hair straight, yet force it upon myself from time to time, like I'm suppose to like it that way. I don't know what the psychology is in that--maybe it's just the urge to change things up. Either way, I'm done with it. I tend to want to straighten after seeing someone on TV or online or a magazine, etc. with nice looking sleek hair, but once I have that hair? I'm never really happy and I end up putting it a bun or french braids, etc. So I will from now on, see that nice sleek hair on other gals and be able to acknowledge to myself that although it looks great on THEM, it's not for ME.
So now I'm back to a regimen of bunning during the week, and braidout/twistout on the weekends. I've gotten back into yoga recently and it's just best for me to have all this hair out of my way.

| Sometimes after looking at pictures of my hair, I wonder why I'd ever want it straight anyway?? |
Anyway, have a great weekend!!
I love your hair curly or straight. Last year I barely straightened and this year I plan on straightening consistently for the next 4 months! That's what I love about natural hair. VARIETY!!!
ReplyDeletei would never want my hair straighten if i had your gorgeous head of hair!
ReplyDeleteYour hair is gorgeous! The big curly mane makes you stand out in a crowd. --Ree
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks fantastic! Has your routine changed or is it still the same? Will you do anymore hair tutorials, help a sister out
ReplyDeleteOh so lovely..! could you post the braids or twists you do, I can never get braid out/twist outs like that :(
ReplyDeleteYou have gorgeous hair!! I get like that too, once I see someone with beautiful, straight hair it makes me want to straighten mine. Then, I'm so over it. Lol
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way...I like the look of straight hair...on other women...I feel more like myself when I wear my curls, twists, or twistouts!
ReplyDeleteYour hair is beautiful... I wear my hair straight alot because I like to mix it up but you should wear yours curly always. It suits you!!!
ReplyDeleteDitto, on wanting to straighten. Your hair is beautiful, and I think thats a great decision!
ReplyDeleteGirl you better work! If my hair was that big, long and curly, I would never straighten again either! I realized that the curly look is why I wanted to go natural in the first place, so I will rarely do twist outs and braid outs anymore.
ReplyDeleteYour hair is gorg! I so agree with wearing it big and beautiful. I too dislike my hair straight but for some reason when I go out that's the only look I "feel" looks sophisticated or womanly...silly but at least I've identified my issue with straight hair vs natural so I keep it simple until it's partay time. ;)
ReplyDeleteI absolutley love your hair. I stalked you from fokti all the way here in a matter of days....LOL. Oh how am lovely my transition time there is so much inspiration around. the first time I transitioned I just want a low cut which I maintained for almost 2 years then I went back to relaxers. However this time is for the long haul and I am absolutely loving all the documentations from natural all around the world.
