Pet Peeve

I hate when people touch my hair. I think I’ve always hated it because people think that just because you have long hair they’ve automatically been granted permission to put their hands in it. False!

What I hate more is when random people touch my hair. I was walking down the hallway at work and an older white woman commented on how my hair looked “cute” (It was a twistout). As I walked by, she picked up her hand to touch my hair. Good thing I was walking super fast and I saw it coming. I managed to evade her hand. I couldn’t believe she tried to do that! A friend/co-worker of mine, who saw the whole thing play out, laughed because she knows how I feel about my hair. Unbelievable!

I’ve had people ask if they can touch my hair. Sometimes I say yes, but most times it’s a no. What’s the big fascination?

I think my hate for people touching my hair stems from the fact that I hate touching other people’s hair. I just feel like I don’t know if your hair is clean or if it’ll be greasy and my hand will be dripping with oil once I’m finished touching it. It was never my thing.

In addition, they’re usually messing up whatever style I have, by touching it.

All of that to say that when u see me at the Curly Nikki event, you may touch my hair if you like. I’ll make an exception for the natural hair crew. That’s how much you mean to me! =)

Sexy Bun

Posted in Hairstyles by

I just did the best bun ever using my bun maker! A pic won’t even do it justice. No, there’s nothing special about my bun. My hair has been bunned for days and I just took it down to moisturize and repin it.

Let me just tell you that this time around it came out sooooo smooth. I put my EVOO mix in it, some Carol’s Daughter – Hair balm and some Curls – Creme brulee and my bun is sexxaayyy! So sexy and supple that I had to write about it! =)

I wish I could leave it in for a while, but tomorrow I’ll be taking it down to do my hair for the Curly Nikki event. A bun is cool and everything, but it would only be right to actually style my hair for an event focused on natural hair. Some people (Nikki and others) prep their hair days in advance to achieve the best style. For me, my freshly washed, first day hair is the best at this point in my natural hair journey. This wasn’t always the case. It also depends on they type of look you’re going for.

I’m overly excited about the event and meeting wonderful people. I have no idea what to expect, but I’m sure it’ll be fun.

XOXO,
