You’ll Never Guess What I Did!

You guys. Let me tell you what I did…

Something so freeing.

I took a shower without a shower cap!

Pause for effect.

I know some of yall are rolling your eyes at me through the screen like, ‘I thought she was going to tell us something good.’

That is good. That’s huge for me.

I was such a slave to my hair that I would double up on shower caps for fear that the teensiest bit of moisture would get in there somehow and pouf, there goes my blow out.

See what I did there?

I did it out of curiosity. What’s the worst that could happen? I’d look like a baby Diana Ross? (Too late, right??)

The fact that I don’t have to be scared of water when my hair’s not straight–and that it’s actually recommended to spritz it with water–is something I am still trying to wrap my head around.

If I’m going to be all the way honest, and I want to because we’re friends, I got the idea from Solange Knowles. My natural hair spirit  guide.

She went on a rant on Twitter about how she isn’t the ‘Vice President of Natural Hair.’

She doesn’t know the terms. She doesn’t sleep with a satin cap. She likes to revive her ‘fro with steam from the shower.

And even though she was saying she’s no one’s hair role model, her saying all of that made her all the more real to me. And a perfect natural hair spirit guide.

So of course I had to try that. And I loved it. I was in the shower doing my bidness, reviving my ‘fro and thanking God for the experience.

It’s just hair but this transition was in more ways than one.

 Thanks for listening to me babble. I took all of your advice about the twist out and I’m going to try it again. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. =)

How was your weekend?

p.s. I’m so 70s right now with the easy breezy ‘fro, jumpsuit and platforms, wouldn’t you say?
