So I may lose some followers for this post...oh I forgot, I don't have any! So I straightened my hair the other day: I am absolutely in LOVE with it! (well almost, the frizz is the worst). I forgot how much I love straight hair. During the first phases of this natural hair journey I embraced what everyone called the "ugly phase" because that comes with the territory right? Well after 13 months I am beginning to realize what I put in the back of my mind for months: I miss my relaxed hair.
And this is where the vanity comes in. I miss my relaxed hair because I feel like I look much more beautiful with it. Okay you can stop judging now! Not only that though, relaxed hair is so much easier to manage than natural hair. Now I know what you are saying: before you were raving about your natural hair and now you just want to abandon it and go back. Well to defend my case, I went back and read some of my older posts. More often than not, I was talking about the struggles of this journey. I cannot deny that when it was good, it was good, but those moments were so short-lived.
So now I am at a crossroads. But before I jump the gun I decided that I am going to get a Keratin treatment. They say it prevents frizz and makes your natural hair look and feel relaxed. So I'm going to see how that goes. If not, it may be back to the creamy crack.
