I don't know about you ladies but often I watch and look at what most call "Hair Porn", websites, blogs and Vlogs set up to promote, advocate and give hair tips/advice on how to take care of natural hair, or how to deal with transitioning. If any of you ladies who Big Chopped earlier this year like myself may now have come to realize that this journey in reality is a long and tough journey....
Its amazing how YouTube videos often reflect women's hair journey that consist of a montage of hair through the stages of growth which is about 5 minutes long...reflecting their hair from the Big Chop to the lengthy healthy Kinks, Coils, and Curls they now are proudly sporting...But that 5 min. clip Never seems to account for the reality of this journey...the long journey of growing back the hair you chopped off.
I don't know about any of you but there are times that I think about...for a moment the old me and the permed soft silky wash & sets of yesterday....Don't get me wrong I am in it for the long run...My hair is much more healthy and the lack of head sores from perming after a week of patting my head till I felt like I patted 6-7 brain cells out my head is a benefit I am not willing to give up just yet.
However for just one moment can I just say...No matter how many hair smoothies, conditioners, vitamins and scalp massages....The hair journey is a long and winding road!!
I mean not to sound impatient but when you see pictures of Natural Celebs who Big Chopped and 7 months later they look like their hair grew overnight (I'm sorry but wigs are a bit misleading) I start to question my little Hair Follicles, as to what is wrong with them...
