Do you know what today is......

My hair is in a twist out with one side pulled back.  I felt a bit 80sish and I liked it!!!  I used my usual products, Cantu leave in and Shea Butter.

It's my anniversary!

Today marks one year since the last time I straightened my hair!  I last straightened my hair in order to get it trimmed.  Since that time, I've thought about straightening my hair but am quickly detered by the thought of dealing with straight hair.  Don't get me wrong, I also have to "deal" with my hair when it's worn natural, but the process and needs are so different than with straight hair.  

When I straighten my hair I get so worried about making sure that I can keep it straight that I don't actually enjoy having it straight.  I also find myself "touching up" my roots every morning to maintain my straight look.  As we all know, daily heat = heat damage.  And for me, a part of being natural is having healthy hair.  I also miss my curls and kinks when my hair is straight.  I miss seeing MY hair.  As far as I can tell, the only benefit to straightening my hair is that it reminds me of why I stopped wearing it straight.     

So, one year strong and counting.  I don't have a goal or anything as to how long I'll go before I straighten my hair (although I am excited that I made the one year mark); however, I do think I'll keep track of how long it is before I use heat on my hair again.

Well, that's all I have for today.  Let me know if you have any hair goals that you are working toward, or any achievements you've reached without making them a priority.

Tootles for now........
