Lesson number one: Just because I watch a Youtube video of a woman with natural hair and she shows step by step how to do a particular style and I follow it to the T, does not mean that my hair will come out like hers. Every head is different from texture, length and stages. I twisted my hair last night with the intent to let the twists out in the morning and go to work. Basically I wanted this look.
Yeah...it didn't come out like that. Because I am early transitioning -super early that the top of the hair looked like this but my edges were really straight. So curly and then straight. My initial reaction was "Wowwwww!" After that, I told myself hey -being natural doesn't mean I have to wear it down all the time. I found a clip, pinned it up, bobby pinned some stray hairs in the back and left a small section as a side bang. A couple of years ago, I would have stayed home from work, went and got my hair done and came back to work smiling because hell yeah- I just got my hair done. A couple of years ago, not knowing any better, would have been upset that it didn't come out exactly like the girl in the video. As I read and research and learn the way my hair is and grows, I feel stronger with my hair.
