This is how I wore my hair to work Friday(it's my going out style sometimes!) and everyone loved it. I think mainly because I either wear my hair in a puff or in a larger type 'fro because of the SOP and the dress code. But Friday I felt like doing something different and even tossed on some going out clothes(undershirt required of course!:P Cleavage is a no no!). Of course, than I got the third degree from the officers. Such as: "Who is he?", "Did you run him?" "Have him come up to the PD." Riiiight!! Haha! Gotta love those guys!
Of course I don't always have positive reactions with my hair and it's mainly from older black females. I'm good at letting things roll off my back and when I get annoyed I get really polite so they don't know how to react. Yeah, I'm good with that. One of the ladies at work(who HATES 'kinky' hair as she put it!) actually dug her fingers into my hair and told me how long it was getting! O_o Thank you but...I don't dig my fingers into your hair! There's an officer at work that's going natural and asks me tips and what not. She's upset because her hair doesn't curl at the end like mine does but I keep telling her all hair is different and she's transitioning(meaning she's letting her relaxer grow out and cutting the processed parts). I big chopped(literally BC'ed since I shaved all my hair off and just wore wigs the first year I worked there until Smitty told me to take it off! LOL!). I wish I would have taken pictures of the whole process but...meh!
I'm loving my hair and henna gives it the slight color it has. I find that natural hair products work better for my hair rather than the ones I get from the store. I've spent hours on the internet reading reviews, scouring sites, looking at ingredients...it's fun for me! LOL!! My sister, who is also natural, is thinking about starting to mix her own products which would be awesome!
Don't get me wrong I'm not one of those natural chicks that look down on relaxed hair or goes into spiels about how I'm rocking the hair that God gave me. Do you and what makes you happy and I'm happy for you! It just saves me money in the long run since GA is so hot and I sweat like nobodies business! I had to get touch ups every 4-6 weeks...unlike my mom who can go 2 months without one! I still haven't watched that documentary by Chris Rock: 'Good Hair'. It's on my DVR but I've heard about it. Some good, some bad!
Anyways, I've rambled long enough about random ish but I've been thinking about this for awhile. And Friday just showed me something about the people at my job.
Alright, think I'm going to go watch Shaun of the Dead again...or maybe Just Wright. I wish Boardwalk Empire had more episodes on On Demand since I haven't finished watching them all!! :(
