Four Weeks Into The Journey









Hey all,



I actually planned to write following my first day, but you know how that goes. Anyway, here are pictures of my hair at four weeks. I've been a little self conscious about the style because I've been so addicted to the "creamy crack" and the "OPH" (Other People's Hair) I think I almost forgot what my natural hair looked like. The profile picture is one of the first pictures taken without partial weaves, wigs, ponytails, etc. I have been wearing my hair semi-natural since Sept.-Oct. 07. I put a texturizer in my hair to manage my hair against Florida's humidity. The color you see on the ends are the parts of my hair that were texturized. Check out the intricate parting. My SL Trainee/Consultant is on her way to be one of the most meticulous consultants in this area. Well, actually, I believe she is the only one in this area.
I'm actually getting use to the look. Well, actually I have to get use to it, because I refuse to go back. I'm so tired of the "hair drama." When ever I get a little weak and glance over at the "Hair Store" on my way home from work, I think about all the ladies on the blogs and the stories they share that are so very similar to mine. They look great, their hair is fabulous and it gives me a renewed dose of patience as I wait for my "baby locks" to mature. The Dallas ladies, Atlanta ladies and North Carolina, Boston ladies and all the others are very inspirational. I think I'll hang in there for a while. No more OPH for Sauda! It's A Natural Thang...
