February 2021 I posted my my first blowout…I was excited and very pleased with the overall experience. However, the word on the street is that I’m “tender headed”…🤯 (it’s true) 🤷🏽♀️
No one had touched my natural hair in over six years before 2021.
As you all know, once March 2021 came around I faced my 2nd battle with covid-19 (a more aggressive strand) along with sepsis—l landed in ICU in a diabetic coma and failing kidneys. The medication treatment for Covid-19 was so strong I lost my hair.
I remember crying 😭 as my two strain twist fell in my hands one by one leaving a trail of patches along the way. June 2021 I cut it as short as possible and relaxed it just so what remained could cover my visible patches.
So, why am I sharing this…? Because when you decide to come face-to-face with your truth NO one or nothing can use it against you. I’m wearing my now thin relaxed hair just so I can accept that it happened and I’m no longer ashamed by what I could not control. It no longer has a hold on me.
I’m still beautiful 😍 My hair is beautiful!
It’s strengthening & growing and I’m trusting the process.
❤️
