Guess What!!!....We cut my son's hair ahhhh!!!!
Hi Lovlies
Yes you read the title correctly we CUT my son's hair (ahhhh I still trying to wrap my head around it) Ok let's talk about this. As I mentioned in a few posts back my son's had been asking for a haircut. So some of you may say he's a boy.....it's just a haircut....both of those statements are true however this was a huge decision for our family. Here is the backstory. My little man is four years old and he came into this world with a HEAD FULL of curly hair. In fact that was one of the first thing the doctor said after saying he was a 9lbs 4oz big beautiful baby boy with beautiful black curly hair. He always wore his hair in a curly afro, I absolutely LOVED it. Once he hit the year mark we considered cutting it but I just loved his curls too much. So we continued to let it grow it became too long so I decided to cornrow his hair going to the back. Every since the first time I cornrowed his hair he always wanted his hair braided. I would only take his hair down to wash it. His hair was truly a part of him and seriously whenever we went out we got compliments on the kids and their hair. Now here is the thing as his cornrow grow longer people began to mistake him for a girl that is until he spoke. Which was funny to me because my daughter would have colorful bows and such in her hair and girlie girl clothing. My son would be dressed like a boy of course. They would make comment like "you have such beautiful girls" or your girls are so well-mannered. When I would say "Thank you but he is a boy" they would respond ooohhhh I'm so sorry well he's pretty enough to be a girl. We honestly heard that from at least two people every time we stepped out. We heard it so much that after a while when people would come up to us before the could even say anything my daughter would say" he's a boy lol. This isn't something that upset us because we heard it all the time. But my boy was bothered by it. So he started asking for his hair cut. Now in the beginning he wanted to cut his hair one day and then grow it back the next so after explaining it to him. He would say he didn't want to get it cut or he wanted to cut when he started kindergarten. About 2-3 months ago he started asking for a haircut almost everyday and we really took notice of how often he was asking after a while. So with all that being said we decided it was time to cut his hair. His texture is still the same in the 3's it's just shorter. The longer it grows I see his curls start to come back especially after washing his hair but he says he wants waves like his father (hahaha) Now as far as family members and friends the news of him wanting his haircut had mixed reviews some thought we should cut it, some didn't. In the end we just wanted our son to be a happy little boy and HE IS=)

Senegalese Twist Hair Aftermath
Hey you!
I'm back with an hair update since uninstalling my twist. So I left them in for a little over six weeks and after taking them out my hair was really soft but dirty lol because of the fact that I didn't wash my hair the entire six weeks. I was very nervous about washing my hair because I knew my new growth will be front and center afterwards so I just didn't wash them. So of course when I took them out I just LOVED on my hair like crazy. I could definitely tell that my hair grew so I was happy about that. I did a great shampoo wash, followed by a protein treatment using two eggs and oil. After the protein treatment I did an AMAZING deep condition sitting under my hooded dryer for an hour. It felt like my hair was smiling from the inside out lol. I must say though I didn't miss my hair. I was happy to see it but didn't miss it. I really got spoiled with low maintenance hair. As soon as I washed my hair that super thick texlax texture made a grand entrance, I'm about 18 weeks post relaxer but it looks and feels like I'm 6 months post no joke hahahaha. I'm actually in the process of putting my twist back in I was just taking a break to give you all that hair update I promised in the previous post. I believe I'm going to continue with either Senegalese twist or small box braids until I decide to texlax. I'll be sure to keep all posted. Thanks for Reading!!
