LoveHair.LiveLife















I would like to break down what Love.Hair.Live.Life is all about. It is broken down into Love Hair and Live Life.
So, Love Hair is about me learning to love myself really, and that for began with my natural hair journey. I was frustrated and annoyed with how my hair looked and was always a struggle to deal with. So I cut it and decided I didn't want to deal with the relaxer burns - girls, you know what I mean - which resulted in a lot of flaking. Now that didn't end well for me after a while, but that's a heat damage story for another day. Basically, the second time around with a lot of research, I learnt to love the unpredictability and nuisances of my hair. And that is teaching me how to love myself and all my nuances, unapologetically.
Live Life is the result of the first, as I learn to love myself I am beginning to truly live without merely existing for the sake of it.
So, Love.Hair.Live.Life is a journey I have decided to take and a mantra I repeat to myself.
I truly believe that this "natural hair thing" is really a more of a movement. In the sense that lesson I learnt about self-love and appreciation have shot me into a space of actualisation that I was never ready for. Please don't take me the wrong way, I live in a constant state of getting my life.
I recognise a shift in who I am, not away from myself but rather rediscovering the little girl that I once was before the world started feeling heavy on my shoulders.
