mentally, i’m in the back of a library sipping tea and re-reading my favorite books under the soft light of a candle

Hair

I’m growing my hair out again for the umpteenth time. I say I won’t but here I am allowing myself to have this awkward ass fro. What if I have some type of alopecia, which why my hair breaks off in spots?

Things I need to do:

Moisturize

Satin Pillowcase

Wash Condition and deep condition weekly

If I can do all of these things, I think I’ll be okay and make it to where I can put my hair in braids.

So about 4 months is what I’m looking at.

I’m also thinking about orange glasses. and a septum and a tattoo.
