Don't Touch My Hair

What's up my 100s! So I've been having a pretty FABULOUS weekend! I finally got to meet my country husband Mr. Luke Bryan! It was such an amazing experience. Big shout out to my husband for making that happen! AND we had amazing seats! We were practically right in front of the stage. Anyway, as 2017 continues to flourish for me, I wanted to take a break from the heavy and post something fun. HAIR! I know a lot of ladies and some gentlemen can relate. So let's get to it shall we...

~Wild and Naturale~

When my hair is in it's natural state, it is more durable. So the following are some dos and don'ts during this time...

WATER: Because my hair is naturally curly water will only improve its look. Therefore, I'm good with the rain. We can go to the beach, the pool, the jacuzzi, the waterpark, or wherever. We can take a shower and play with the removable shower head. I'm good. These things are allowed. 

WIND: The wind is ok sometimes. There is nothing more freeing than riding to nowhere and the wind breezing through these gorgeous curls. However, if we are going out somewhere and the curls are set, no bueno. There will be no rolling down the windows sir. There is no carefree moments when we're on date night and my curls need to stay in place! Why??? Because more than likely the curls may be a bit wet, so they are STILL SETTING. A gust of wind and I'm looking like bozo the damn clown! Nope, no wind in this case.

HEAT: Because this may be a natural look, heat has no affect on these curls. Now for all the sweaters out there like me, it's just like water. Again, I'm good. Even when we're between the sheets and you're ready to throw down. I'm good with the bump, grind, and sweaty. Its just curls. They can be re-washed and reset. Strip it down and put it down, I'm RETS to go! (Unless fellas you got an extra boujee bitch, then sorry no booty lol.) You can pull this hair and handle ya business, We're typically down!

STORAGE: After you have put it down and it is time to go to sleep, I'm a throw this scarf back on. I'm sure you got too damn happy when I gave you the green light to pull. I know some men don't like it, but it keeps the hair in place. I wouldn't advise snatching it in the middle of the night. However, if you do toss it, it won't be as bad. We can wake up, throw some water on them curls, and be ready to go. No harm, no foul.

GETTING READY: Now you had your fun last night, but when it's time to show off, I need you to allow me the time to get it right. So if it takes me an hour to get these curls right, don't trip just go watch Instagram or something. Whatever you do...please this is important fellas...NEVER...EVER...say "it looks fine the way it is." That's the quickest way to get your ass cussed out. Let me be great and look how I wanna look on your arm for the evening. 

~Straight and sleek~

Ok, on occasion I like to wear my hair straight. Here are the dos and don'ts...

WATER: ZIP. None. The smile I have about this bone straight, will quickly go away when water is involved. Ain't no pools bihhh. If it's raining, men I need you to have an emergency umbrella ON HAND! Because if this hair gets wet, who do you think we're gonna blame it on?

WIND: ZELCH! No way in hell. Sorry. I'm good for an occasion Beyonce fan, but as for rolling the windows down, why even risk the cuss out? No wind sir.

HEAT: Hell to the naw! Heat leads to moisture! So you want me to have fuzzy roots!?!? NO! Ain't no bumping and grinding either. This will not be like The-Dream, there will be no sweat it out. I spent HOURS blowing it out, you gon have to handle that problem yourself buddy. Don't come sliding up on me.

STORAGE: This hair needs to be wrapped DOWN TIGHT! Oh you don't like the scarf? Tough shit, sorry. And if you slide it off when I'm sleep, I feel sorry for you in the morning. You want a bitch to wake up looking like buckwheat?

GETTING READY: Same rules apply. Allow me the time to be great. And don't say we take too long, so now you want me to have fly aways???? You want me to walk around open to attack from humidity don't you? That's what you want. And please like I said before, you better not say it, it will not look fine until WE say its fine. 

That's not hard to remember now is it? And this is most important of all. To all the outsiders out there, Don't touch nobody hair. You may have gotten away with it once or twice, but the fury was there. I don't care if you know the person or not. If them curls spilling out of control, don't touch. If that hair slick to the GODS, don't touch.  I'm just keeping it 100!

The Shift

Hey what's up my 100s!!! I know it's been awhile and I've been promising you a blog for 2017. Well, here it is. I hope this year has been treating you very well. So far, I have found myself very blessed for this year. Just a heads up, I have a lot of stuff under construction. I am working on a new Blog site  don't worry it'll be epic. And hopefully it'll bring forth a better blogging experience for you and me! I'll let you know when its ready to be revealed.

I wanna talk about that sudden shift in a friendship dynamic. You know what I mean, we've all been there. You think you have this really good Judy. You know the one that "loves you so much" and you are just  "crazy about them too." But then something happens. An event, or a comment intervenes. All of sudden you start to view this friend in a different light. That's when it happens....The shift. When you're used to that warm feeling you get about a person then all of a sudden things are so cold between you two. Your dynamic is off. Now you're not talking like you used to because one(or both) of you still feels some kind of way about the other and won't address it. So you stay cordial and let things ride. But the more you ignore the shift the further apart you become. I'm sure the simple way to resolve this is to just talk the problem out. But why don't we do this? Why are we doomed to repeat previous cycles? Did we trust too easily or just give up too soon?

I know there isn't a single friendship that is perfect, but if this person was so quick to walk away from, were they ever your friend to being with? I am guilty of this as well. I give my trust away too easy. I invest my heart into a friendship, just for it to be something seasonal. Sometimes I feel I expect too much from people. Just like with work friends. I expect for us to still be friends when either of us leaves the job that binds us. But once the binds are undone, the friendships quickly fade. Why is that? Is there a such things has having a lasting work friendship? You say you love me but when you change your number you don't give it to me. Or you call a person to say hey, I'm thinking about you, they don't answer and text you back "Hey boo u called." I don't know, maybe I'm reading too much into it, ya'll know I'm always going through some friend thing. It's a bit sad that in my last leg of 20s, I still struggle with the lifetime/seasonal thing. I want so bad to have lifetime friends like "Girlfriends" and "Sex and the City" but I end up with part time work friends that only care as far as the job is concerned. When are we gonna stop letting people treat us like the customers we're on the phones with and start standing to  be treated like someone who is valuable and appreciated for the love and friendship we can provide? Just my thoughts of course, and that's keeping it 100!
