Have you ever...Lost a relationship/friendship over your hair?? Plus exclusive new music from Solange Knowles

Ok so I ADMIT...I committed to going natural, but lately I have been contemplating the growth of my hair and myself in the last 8 months....

As I get closer to my 1 year hair-anniversary I have thought a lot about past friendships/relationships and those I have now...I have realized that in my decision to claim POWER over my tresses and give them the love and care they deserve, I have realized some of those around me were not as embracing of my  "HAIR IN PROGRESS" 

But I cannot let that stop me, ok it does sting a little that a few friends deleted me from their facebook friend's list.... I had a few past lovers/acquaintances whom I ran  into  ask me before they had a chance to say hello or  ask how am I doing? but  "why did I cut my hair?" 

Overall the decision I made was made consciously  not for others but for myself...so all you naturals who may have big-chopped recently and are looking at yourself and saying..What have I done, Know that hair isn't meant to be your source of confidence but an extension to enhance the inner beauty and self-confidence  you already posses, so continue to to rock your hair HOWEVER you want to!


Keep on growing, watering, and loving your tresses...The shortest stage is the TWA...seriously

The Never ending Hair Journey..life After the BIG CHOP!!

THIS HAIR JOURNEY IS NO EASY ROAD TO WALK!!!

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...

Solange's hair journey
