I Just Want to Slap Myself – Seriously

Ever done something, that seemed like a good idea, only to regret it, afterwards? Sure you have. Here’s a little story, about my most recent “hindsight is 20/20” moment…

Remember that one time, I broke down, and put a relaxer in my hair, after 12 years without?

Yeah, that happened a few months ago. Since then, I’ve lost about 2-3 inches, from breakage. I didn’t even realize I’d lost so much, until people kept asking me did I cut my hair.

I’m so bummed, and I kind of want to cry. I won’t, because I know its just hair. But, man…I want my natural hair back.

It’s going to take forever, for this darn relaxer to grow out. I’m actually thinking about cutting my hair some more, to lessen the breakage (that makes since, right?).

I’m not even sure why I did it. I didn’t need the relaxer (really no one “needs” it. But, I just wanted my hair to lay nicer, be easier to handle, better in the humidity, straighter, etc. You know the drill.

Right now, as it stands… I am so disappointed and pissed at myself. Oh well, you live and you learn. And, believe me, this lesson was definitely learned.
