Don't You Hate It When .......

Don't you hate it when you let your eyebrows grow out and be all furry and unruly only for them to be messed up AGAIN?!!  Ooooweee! That gets to me.  I went to a nail shop to get them waxed and I specifically told her how I wanted them.  Now I have to wait for the left one to grow out so that that it can be arched like the right one.  They look more uneven and crazy in person.  Anyway, that was my "Don't you hate it when" moment.  What is yours?

What a marvelous Monday this is!!

Today I just want to share a couple of comments that I have received in the past month. You may have experienced something similar at some point during your natural hair journey.


I was talking to one of my male friends and I had my hair in a tuck style. Well, I guess he didn’t like it and he proceeded to say “Ok now, don’t you think it’s about time you got a perm? I mean how long has it been?” I know my face must have showed everything that I was thinking. Anyway, I told him it had been almost 4 years since my big chop and I don’t plan on perming/relaxing my hair. He then went on to gesture the time out signal. He did this just as he was saying “Well on your wedding day when you are walking down the aisle and your hair is looking like it is now, then the preacher is going to call a time out". My jaw dropped and I politely told him that I didn’t care what he or anyone else thought about my hair because I love it and I am keeping it the way it is. I am glad that I have self control because had this been at a time when my filter was OFF, the conversation would have gone totally different.


Once again, I was talking to a different guy and he asked me what was going on with another lady’s hair, which we both know. I told him that she is in the process of transitioning to her natural hair. He said “Oh snap! She needs to get something done to that hair because she doesn’t have the face to wear her hair natural”. What was that supposed to mean? He told me that I had the face but she didn’t. I don’t understand. It doesn’t matter what type of face you have. God gave you the face and head of hair that you have. It doesn’t matter if you have an oval, round, oblong etc shaped face. Wear your hair natural no matter what if you want to.


Ladies, I just want to remind you that if you feel comfortable with wearing your hair in its natural state then go for it. It doesn’t matter what the next person thinks or says. It’s about how you see yourself. Never compare yourself to others. We all were created in our own unique way. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and there are billions of eyes out there.

Venting Session with a Positive Outcome

Here in Texas it is HOT!! The humidity is crazy, and guess what.......My AC went out! I had a similar problem last year but it was fixed and low and behold it has happened again. I was frustrated and Hot when my AC went out. I dreaded it but I knew I had to call a repairman. These things happen and you have to do what you’ve got to do to keep it moving.

But there was a positive light shed on this situation. I didn’t have to worry about sweating out my perm!!! Thanks to my natural hair, I didn’t have that to worry about that. With our hair being in its natural state, you don’t have to run from the rain, heat, humidity, etc. It's wonderful!

A Note to All of You:
Make sure you do your research when someone gives you a quote about a repair job. One of the companies that gave me a quote tried to get over on me. They wanted to charge me extra for work that was already included in the quote. That's how it works; they see a woman in need and try to take her for as much as they can get out of her. I did my research and asked around and found out that indeed they were trying to charge me extra.

Find out from your friends, family, church members, etc if they know of anyone who can perform the job that was quoted to you. I did and I found a reputable and knowledgeable repairman to do the job for me. They made sure that I wasn't being taken advantage of and that the job was done right. This has saved me from spending waaaayyyy too much money. Thank God!

Until Next Time,
