I mean don't get me wrong, I'm totally confident and love my TWA but at the same time looking at all these journeys and forums and seeing how people's hair are growing so long and all the styles that they are able to achieve makes me a little anxious. I guess what im saying is that i want the process to move a little fasRead More...

Just wanting to share and experience I had on Sunday. You know I went to church.

I have about four inches of growth and decided to get microbraids to have more styling options. I got them 2 1/2 weeks, ago. I miss my hair and I am starting to feel silly with all this fake hair in my head. I don't even wear it down because I am not proud of it. I feel like there is a big sign on my head shouting "FAKE". It is not like I am trying to fool anyone, but I just feel silly.

I will admit that the positive attention is fun too! When I see a fell napptural I will say something like "love your hair!" I am admittedly a pj, but I have experimented with some recipes also.

I'd perm it, neglect it and it would break.


After the BC i wore my hair in cornrows, wore wigs or I would get a sew in weave. My hair grew so much but it broke off 2x. It got tangled really bad and recently because i wasn't take care of my hair. I wasn't washing it, conditioning or moisturizing iRead More...
