My hair is on top of my head, but it’s been on my mind. The question has been what to physically do with it? It has become an existential crisis. Continue the growth or go with the big chop?
I always kept a little length on top. I dreaded up in December of 2018. My hair journey has inspired a lot of growth in other areas of my life.
My hair is long for cosmetic reasons. I have a bump on the back of my head. I think it’s growing too. I got it removed a few years back and it’s not cancerous. They said it might grow back.
At times, I think if I cut it all the baggage and ill in my life will disappear. The big chop will symbolize a fresh start. All the weight of the past year would instantly vanish and things will move forward in my life.
Or one year from now, life will be different. I can embrace the growth and love the process.My hair will be longer and I’ll be stronger. My sack will be right and all the bull shit will be left behind. Things will never be perfect, but past experiences will aid me in leaping over life’s hurdles.
I spent some time with my hair yesterday and it was great. The retwisting process helped me appreciate the growth.
Ladies I understand why it takes so long to get ready if your hair isn’t done. In total I spent about four hours with my hair yesterday. It started with a deep cleanse with some design essentials shampoo.
After the wash I began to twist. I started from the front. I twisted each dread slowly. Almost every piece of new growth was locked in. I twisted about five then I stopped to blow dry. My homie told me that the heat keeps them neat.
Slowly but surely I worked my way to the back of my head. I’m glad I don’t have my whole head cause man, I don’t know if I have enough patience.
Once I finished I took a break for breakfast. I damn sure deserved it. The French toast, eggs and bacon pumped me up for the rest of the hair mission.
I went to barbershop and got an edge and beard trim. A simple line up can change a man’s life. You never know when you will meet your wife. Always keep your line tight.
My hair journey will continue for now, maybe next time I get my hair done I’ll have two eyerbrows.
