I have learned a lot about myself and my hair in this first quarter on my hair journey.
The first thing I learned about myself is that I can not let my hair rule my life. Hair is very important to men and women as the look of our hair can have a positive or negative impact on our appearance.
The billions of dollars generated in the hair care industry is a testament to the impact hair can have on first impressions. Just about everyone wants to look good. As we get older it seems to be even more important as we attempt to hold on to our youthful appearance. My hair has been the reason why I did not attend functions or events. While I could have put on a wig or worn a weave to compensate for the lack of the desired look with my hair, I opted to not participate in certain functions simply because my hair was the stumbling block that prevented me from achieving the overall look I desired. I am much more comfortable with my hair at this point simply because I made the decision to let my hair do what is does. And what does my hair do? My hair sits on top of my head as the crown and glory it is destined to be.
The second thing I learned about myself and my hair is that my natural hair although it is coarse, it not really that difficult to manage. After each deep cleansing, I notice the ease at which I can comb my natural hair. The texlaxed ends of my hair are what seem to get tangled. Additionally, my hair seems feel much softer than I thought it to be. Since I do not relax my hair as frequently as I did in the past, the longer period in between relaxers gives me a chance to "feel" my new growth and the thickness of my hair actually feels nice.
The last thing I will discuss is that shampoo is a product I do not have to use to cleanse my hair. While a conditioner may have some of the same ingredients as shampoo, I feel a conditioner works best for my hair to cleanse it. Some may say that if I am not using shampoo to remove product buildup than my hair is not really clean. That could be true up to a point as product buildup is real! However, I am able to get a "squeaky clean" result using conditioner to clean my hair.
Looking forward to an exciting 2nd Quarter of 2014 using Ponds Cold Cream to cleanse my hair and scalp, and Ponds Dry Skin Cream to moisturize my hair.
