It's About DARN Time

~~i should be studying for the GREs, but i'm writing this blog instead. Yeah, i know what you are thinking, I'm procrastinating, i bet that word is in the analogy section. Well, this blog is about hair, so here goes:

It's about DARN time i do something about my hair. I mean, do i really want to spend the rest of my life trying to fight nature. And by doing something i mean enough with the creme crack (ie, texturizers, relaxers and all the other chemicals we have been blackmailed to believe is good for our hair). So today i did just that, i threw out all that garbage, and now it's exactly where it belongs, with the garbage.
Ten years ago i was sitting in my moms living room in Jamaica (sporting whatever concoction my mom had in my hair at the time..sigh). I digress, so, on tv there was this beautiful woman with the most gorgeous hair (sisterlocks), and i thought , wouldn't it be nice to have my hair like that. I must admit the thought was fleeting though. After all, this beautiful woman with her gorgeous locks who's telling the reporter how it is easy and possible to have locks that are versatile and manageable could just be an American con artist.
Fast forward 10 years and i can put a name to the hair (Dr. Cornwell). By this time i have had many hair dos and don't s. I had a twa (teeny weeny afro), relaxers, texturizers, many weaves, braids (no wigs though, even at my worst, i couldn't bring myself to wear one). So today, i am the owner of 18" of texturized hair. It takes me close to 3hrs to straighten it, and it never gets straight by the way, and talk about tangles, i have so much and then some. So you can see ,i have issues, and why might you ask, because I'm trying to force the hands of nature and turn my hair into something it's not. Well, i know there are no answers in ignorance, so i started my research on sisterlocks.
I tell ya, there are a lot of information out there and even more women with beautiful SLs. So after calling around, i have decided to get SLs, and i can't wait, even though i have to. As you can see from my picture (which was taken in Dec 09) i'm not quite there yet, but i have my consultation on 02/17/10, and to say I'm exited is an understatement.

So, i will update with pictures and my consultants recommendation soon.

one love
