The Hair Struggle in Memes

December 19, 2014

I got my hair done today and as always, Khia did the thing. I always pinky swear promise that I am NOT going to let my hair get to the point where I look like I am a fugitive but best laid plans and all…

Anywho, here is a post in memes about the hair struggle:

Stages of hair twisting:

You see a picture of yourself and wonder:

why hair

 

 

A few strategically placed hats, headbands and hats will allow for a few more days before restyling:

 

fleek

 

 

But really you are looking like a hot mess:

not ok

 

 

And a picture of yourself makes you wonder:

 

hair

 

And it’s time to call Khia:

hair money

Who does her thing and then its like:

haters-gonna-hate-stairs

 

 

When I made the decision to loc my hair, I was kind of under the delusion that it would be easier to manage. My relaxed hair was such an ordeal that anything had to be better, right? RIGHT?

WRONG!

It takes as much work, if not more, for me to maintain my hair. I will admit that I have a hairphobia; I feel like everyone else does a better job at doing hair except for me. Some of that is a self fulfilling prophecy. I hated getting my hair done as a child and rejected any hair doing activities. I tried to do the Barbie head thing but my braids were just all kinds of no and Barbie heads hair texture was not the same as mine and I gave up  instead of allowing myself the time to practice and getting better.

But with YouTube and books and that practice I had rejected so long ago I was able to make a little something something happen with my hair. But twisting my hair is a chore. A chore that takes me way too long and is just a pain so I bounced around from salon to chair to friend to find the best thing for my hair.

I pink puffy heart LOVE Khia and am so grateful for the woman who hipped me to her. My hair is healthy, has grown and just looks great!

Get you some; check out this post and get your hair did.

    LOL I already know my hair would roll down and choke me. I am SO BAD at maintaining a style, any style. I think that looks great on you though. Just got my hair done Friday also. Good old fashion wrap for me.

    I fully empathize! I grew up in a region where everyone had straight hair but me… I have huge, puffy, frizzy, curly hair. I always feel like everyone else does an amazing job with their hair but me. :/ Love the pink highlights in your hair!

    Your locs look great! I’m digging the red coloring throughout your hair. How often do you have to get them retwisted?

    your hair looks great. My sister has dreads and I think she says she is ready to cut them off every single day! Or every other day. I’m transitioning and although it’s been 8 months, I’m over my ponytail so I may just do the big chop and see what happens. We shall see. Thanks for the laughs with the memes.
