Another late night and I find myself in the mood to write, just finished my laundry, cleaning my kitchen and decided to write before showering the day off my body. So it's been a while since I posted, been kinda busy I suppose with my upcoming trip to Texas. I have had a hectic,depressing, irritating last three weeks and I don't think I have much will power to blog about it. Let's say, I've been anxious, crying and self conscious. Cute Right? so lets get started.
Rambling
So my last week has been filled with some serious hauling and returns. Alloy, Victoria's Secret, Amazon and H&M have all taken my money away. I've been going crazy trying to get everything I need for my trip, I have one more payday left before a go which will finish up all my shopping and I shall have a huge load off my chest. As for my random pissy moment today, I was out shopping with a relative today and I had my hair up in a bun, all natural of course and she asked what will I be doing to my hair for Texas and I said I wasn't sure yet I might just flat iron it and call it a day and she was like " Well I can do it, I can put your relaxer in, your hair is probably so long and the relaxer will really stretch it out". I was just like..."Uh". Why oh why are people so concerned with what others do with their hair especially Black women. It's like time and time again I say I will never go back to a relaxer and for her to say she will put it in as if I don't have a say was just so...off putting, it just brought me back to being a kid and getting one every year before school. Dreading the day, the burning, the whole process YUCK!. I do not need a relaxer and do not want one. I spent more than half my life with one. No more!. Sure there are times when I think about relaxing but I always snap out of it and realize natural hair is best for me and natural kinks, curls and coils are beautiful.
Burnt Sugar
So my Oyin Burnt Sugar has just not been cutting it lately and I might just have to retire it. Every time I use it, it seems to leave a burnt smoke smell on my hair and I cannot stand it. I've heard about it doing that before but I bought it anyway and didn't have problems. I use it on Flat ironed hair once and it was awful the smell kept lingering. The smell just keeps coming around so I think it's time for me to be done.
Hair Dew
Normally I'd post a pic of the product but too lazy for DAT!. Anyway The Oyin Hair dew smells like a lighter version of Burnt sugar and has the texture of Lotion. It's great for detangling. Not much else I can say about it though lol. It's nice. I'd buy it again.
