wahh I hate I’m not going to see him Sunday:/ buttt SUPER ready to see what the announcement is?
Well, to introduce myself, My name is Amber. I am 17 years old and I live in Georgia. I created this blog to document my ‘hair care journey’. Pretty much all my life i have haphazardly taken care of my hair. Just the simple stuff like washing frequently, kinda moisturizing it, blah blah blah.
I never really got it cut actually, i got it trimmed when i was 9, and again when i was 13.
My hair was long and natural until i was 13, then i got a relaxer. I guess once i got a relaxer, my hair kinda went bleh after that.
Being that i got it at the start of the summer, and its HOT in the summer in the south, i was sweating through this relaxer faster than… well just fast. And in my mind, i envisioned that once I got a perm(relaxer), my hair would just be straight and flawless all day errday, just like the lady on the box and commercial. BUT NO! my hair was frizzy and poofy.
In my home, we own a hotcomb ( the old fashioned one you heat on the stove), however i was unwiling to use that to straighten my hair due to some slightly traumatic childhood memories with it( NOT child abuse, ok). I did not own a flat iron until the next summer, so in order to try and straighten my hair before the 1st day of 8th grade, i used a curling iron. This was probably a big mistake because it was hella cheap and it sometimes ripped out some hairs.
Yup. I also didnt really wear a ‘proper’ scarf i guess. i mean i wore a cotton scarf that usually came off my head before morning, and sometimes, i just straight up didnt wear anything on my head at all, even when my mom reminded me. Oops.
Anyways, my point is, my hair is kinda, sorta, damaged in all types of ways, in all types of places, and i finally want my hair to be healthy again. Strong and Healthy. So this lovely tumblr will be the documentation, and hopefully i can get some answers for my various from the tumblrairians on this site.
Yay Hair!
Everyone travels to the beach for summer vacation and bring along a friend or family vacation whatever, and I, living approximately 45 minutes away from the beach, have to go to georgia for the entire summer. Complete opposite direction of the beach, where I have 0 friends and get to babysit all the time.
