Me, My Locks and I Two

My goodness I have lost my mind but I was going through some photos of me when I made the decision to cut my hair to get my locks to grow in. Yes thats me with a swollen face and about 9 and half months pregnant with KJ. Do you see the size of my nose!? and my whole face looks like its about to explode! But you know when you love someone and you are having a baby together thats all you see is the beauty of that little person inside you that represents that love. So much love you have for one person that it had to become its own person. How's that? Cause thats what it was like.
But now back to my locks this was about a year AFTER I had cut the micro braids completely out. Kevin was like " I don't see why you cut all your hair off anyways I like you better with hair" At that point I didn't care I wanted to be free completely and wear my hair the way that I wanted without fear he would pack his bags cause I had a natural hair. (That goes back to the adage of some old school Mamas saying you can't get a man with no nappy hair)

Ignore the bathrobe and the horrible night shirt hell I couldn't fit anything else at that time. But this is the top of my head like you can't tell right? I had just colored the ends and was not happy with the way that the color had turned out at all. So I reverted to semi permanent coloring like burgundy and other wild colors that help hide some of the shall I say it? LINT that I cant seem to get out no matter how many ACV (apple cider vinegar rinses) I do.

Now don't get scared its not like I have a head full of dirty locks cause I don't. I just know I was feeling so free at one time that I was not tying my hair up when I first cut my braids out. Now I'm paying the price. But as they grow to the length I want them I will trim that out. If anyone however has any advice on what to do about that other than permanent color, please let me know as I would prefer not to color permanently ever well not ever since I saw some white hair recently.
So why did I put Kevin's picture up here? Cause I wanted to show how he reacted after I cut my hair. He toasted me. Seriously and hid his face like OMG I can't believe she did that! He said "You are bold woman to just chop your own damn hair off like that" The only thing I could tell him was "It will grow back." Let's just say this in bouts of passion he does run his hands through them or pulls them you get the picture. So ladies feel free to be yourself and do what is right for you. Here is a kicker that I know many of you may not want to hear but here is the truth there are sista's out there living in bondage to the Cremey Crack that are going back for their regular dosages to please someone else in their lives. Doooon't do it Ms Celie..........if you know in your heart that going natural will safe your scalp, your wallet and your self esteem in the long run I say go for it. DO IT!
I still love my Kevin he is my sweetheart even if he does get on the last nerve sometimes but he has come to respect my decision and love me through all the rides in my life as well as I go through his journey with him.
