Ladies, so, if I'm, if it sounds like I'm whispering it's because I am because it's pretty light, I don't know exactly what time it is. I didn't look but um. I wanted to basically include you all in this process, because I've decided the best thing for me. Right now is to cut my hair off and um. I'Ve decided that, because you know it has become burdensome to me, it has become a burden. It'S just for me. A sign that it's time to go um, I don't think you know me keeping my hair all these months was in vain because you know I'm still not having to chop off right there. You know at the line of demarcation from where my hair was over processed. So you know it is what it is. This was inevitable at a certain point. It was gon na have to happen and um, I don't know I feel like you know. This is a reminder to um, never place your identity in things that are external, because, at the end of the day those things can change. People will leave, you will leave people, you will have to move. People go move where you at you know your hair gon na grow. It'S going to fall out, it's just a part of life, you know, and those things do not Define us as people and um. I think you know put a lot of work into my hair. I made a lot of progress about here, but it's just like. I think the part of this experience. You know it's just some things are. I don't want to say out of your control because, like I told you all before um you can you should always follow your intuition intuitively. I knew that I knew what was best for my hair, but I chose to listen to somebody else. So ultimately, you know, I think, I'm still choosing to take responsibility but um. You know it does it's it's unfortunate that sometimes our hard work can be ruined by someone else's negligence, but this is for the best I am I have as of this moment. I have decided that for me in this particular point in time I think transitioning um back to Natural would be best just because, as you all saw, I was relaxed for two years. Let me see 2019. 2020. 2021. I was relaxed for three years, almost with no issues for the time that I was solely doing my hair. The two times I allowed other people to do my hair. They were devastating on my hair. The reason that I chose to allow them to do my hair was because I wanted a break and for me, although my hair was very time consuming the the reason that I decided to relax my hair was to cut down on time. You know I was in the salon - full-time working, you know nine 12 hour days. The last thing I wanted to do was to have to do my hair and for me it was something more um for time conservation and I just decided I just personally. I don't all of those years I didn't have to have anybody else. Do my hair outside of haircuts and um. I don't want to be in a position where I have to have somebody else. Do my hair or I have to feel that way. So, for me, um, I think going back to my natural hair, my textured hair and going back to being a heat style naturalist. What'S best for me, and I I think for me my alternative to when I feel like I need a break from my hair. Instead of relaxing, I will probably incorporate more protective styling um at this particular point in time, and I say that because I've learned you know to Never Say Never but um. I really don't see myself going to get my hair done again outside of a haircut. I just really don't um. The common denominator, for me is other people in my hair, with the exception of you know, if I were to open a salon, I don't feel like. It would be fair to my clients to allow somebody in their head, who I wouldn't trust in mine, but outside of that that'll - probably be it for me, so I will most likely be continuing to protect both not most likely. I will probably be continuing to protective style um for the most part moving forward, and that's that so I don't really have any ideas for how I'm about to cut my hair. I just know that I'd like to cut it, so that is what I'm gon na. Do - and I wanted to include you all this, because I get so many comments and stuff that I'm just like it's honestly, really sad how many people go through stuff like this, and you know I just want y'all to know like I've been in the summer with My clients, you know having to convince them like, oh you should you're gon na need. I would suggest cutting it blah blah blah I've been here and um. You know a lot of us, especially a stylist. We might say, like we make jokes about clients who are um super attached to their hair, and but you know it's it's true. It'S hair is not just hair. I don't care what anybody says. It'S never just been here. If it was just hair, it wouldn't be a billion dollar industry multi-billion dollars. So that's that so I don't really know what I really don't know what I'm doing y'all on camera. I know um, you all may feel like. Oh, what's wrong, um! It'S it's just wrong period. Let'S see, I don't even know. I am really not good at cutting my own hair, so I don't even know where to start. Maybe I should do a Chinese bang. Maybe I should let me look up some stuff to figure it out. I had to take that HDR setting off that is so ugly, like I literally made it so I think, okay, what I'm gon na attempt to do to cut a fringe, bang and then do some kind of uh only shall see how this comes out. At this point, I don't even care literally, I do not even care once you know like the thing is once you know how to do something. You know it is what it is once you know how to make money. It'S okay to go broke because once you know, you'll get you'll get the money back. You know it's! Okay, to move! It'S okay to up and move it's! Okay! It'S just! Okay! You know it's just life. The key is knowing when it's time to let go, though it's okay to put in a little work and you know, try to make stuff work, but after a while, once you see something it's just like not worth it anymore, you just got ta leave it alone. You got ta, weigh the cost and see if it's worth the return, and if it's not, then you got a decision to make. Excuse my armpitsha, I'm getting waxed next week, foreign. Why? Why so they're giving me they have to do they're gon na brighten it up? They have to and they're paying for it it's coming out of their pockets.
