Curly hair days 98 to 86 have been a doozy
that’s right i’m still doing this!
As a self-proclaimed “chaotic good” type of human, I tend to lean into the chaotic half of my personality.
That’s why, without batting a single eyelash, I am popping back online to talk about curly hair almost two full weeks after my last update.
Tee-hee.
The past 12 days have been full of travel, college football watch parties, dress fittings, more travel, planning, doing, working, etc., which means my hair has been hanging out in buns and ponies, for the most part.
But – I’m happy to report – despite the changes in air pressure and temperature, my curls have stayed strong and defined ... And dammit if that isn’t a metaphor.
Something I’ve learned about my hair in the time it’s taken to restore its texture is how delicate it actually is. I used to pull it and pin it and slick it and brush it — abuse it, really — when all it needed was patience, curl cream, and a silk scrunchie or two.
I’ve graduated to bonnets and pillowcases now, thankfully.
I will likely have more robust observations about hair texture and maintenance soon but in the meantime, I hope all who are following along are safe and well.
