I remember so clearly when I saw Sana at the Health Expo in 2008. I was in dire straits. My marriage was over and I was in a relationship with someone where I didn't know where our direction was going. I told Sana I didn't know if I wanted to cut all of my hair off or get a sew in. She told me either way she would take of my hair. Lord knows I needed someone to.
So for the past two years I have sat in Sana's chair, talking and laughing. Meeting new people and sharing new experiences. Each time I left her chair I was a different person. Always ready for my close up. Hello!
Within the past couple of weeks I decided to give my hair a breather and allow my God given hair to be exposed to the world. Lord was I scared. I hadn't seen my hair or had to deal with it for over two years but the time had come.
Because of many factors, mainly me being scared and time constraints I took on the task of taking my weave out and had a good friend relax it for me. I didn't know what to expect. When I told Sana I was going to give my hair a break she was so excited and told me that I would love my hair. And you know what? She was right. Just like she had been for the past two years.
Looking at myself wearing my own hair has been welcoming and confirming that I have truly healed from the hurt of the past and the future is definitely much healthier. It's now my responsibility to maintain and make better and wiser decisions. As it relates to my hair, my family, my finances and my personal life.
The pic included in this blog is of me wearing a Romance Curl sew-in. It's one of my favorites.
