I debated whether or not I wanted to write about my hair. I’ve gone back-and-forth thinking “wow I must be really be really vain or superficial.” I thought I was being silly to make a big deal out my hair.
But then I realized that I’m just like most girls: when our hair is a mess we feel like a mess, which makes us feel insecure and not pretty. And let’s face it, how many of us deep down want to be pretty? I know I do.
Having issues with my hair was not something I even considered when I came up here. Seemed like a no-brainer. Boy, was I wrong!
After about a week I noticed that my hair was getting drier, coarser and frizzier. I felt like I had scare crow hair! And I was beside myself trying to figure out what was wrong. I was following my usual routine, but my hair was a big ole disaster! Now Texas girls are fond of big hair, but this was outrageous!
Given that I grew up with a mom that was a hairstylist, I should’ve known what to do. But apparently I didn’t. Because another week passed & my hair kept getting worse! I was getting desperate.
I was wearing baseball caps ALL of the time. But the night we were getting ready to go to dinner in Atlantic City, my hair looked worse than a chia pet. And I couldn’t wear a ball cap. I wanted to cry, but I also wanted to hurry up & get to Atlantic City. So I braided it and it looked like braided straw with tiny, frizzy tentacles sticking out everywhere.
That was rock bottom. The next day I went to Rite Aid and stocked up. Think I stood in the hair product aisle for over 30 minutes! Why does there have to be so many products to choose from? I had no idea what to get because I didn’t even really know what was wrong with my hair.
Immediately I came back home, washed the beast and worked in lots of Shea butter leave-in conditioner afterwards. Once my hair dried, it was all calm & well-behaved. Like Dr Jekyl & Mr Hyde!
Who knew it was that simple? Not me! It seems leave-in conditioner makes all the difference with the hard water they have up here! Here’s to great hair days!
Until next time y’all!
This post was relatable! There are just some hair days where you try so hard and just want to cry. Thanks for the leave-in-conditioner tip!
You’re welcome!
