The Spiritual Reason I Stopped Wearing Wigs And Weaves

Being so, I never thought in a million years I'll be doing this sort of video. I had to go to therapy to get myself to this point. I love my hair, my hair in security Journey. It started when I was 15 and I came into the UK and I remember, showing up to class. We met afro, as I was used to doing in my home country, Kenya, this girl, who shall not be named in case you're, watching hello. She came to me and she wished oh honey. We don't wear our hair like that here. Long story short relax, my hair and then so. I went from doing weaves every four weeks and when I didn't have a weave I would have a wig on to just cover myself up. The point at which I started to question myself was in 2020, when 2020 we're locked in literally all the hairdressers are closed. So I had a boyfriend who was white white and then I realized, oh, my gosh. I have to face my boyfriend who, at this point one year in, had never actually seen my natural hair by this time. My hair was so damaged by all the waves and waves. Now, let's talk about it and I'm not here to bash anyone. If you're on your own wave wig Journey fair play to you, the lace was actually damaging. My hair, my own scalp, wasn't breathing. It was like under undercover, thankfully my boyfriend. He took me on that Journey. He was patient with me. He loved me for my hair, for who I was uh. I I did all thoughts. I went for the oils. I'Ve spent so much money. I remember taking MSM and absolutely going off my mind: aloe vera onion. Oh I smelled like a curry anyway. At this point I was going through therapy for other reasons, and I remember just saying to my therapist - actually I feel so insecure. I don't want to go to work with my natural hair. I don't want to go to a job interview. My natural hair. I'Ve been told that black girls are the least attractive women in the world, especially because of our hair, because we can't do that thing. Our hair is not cascading down our butt or whatever people want to say. Oh, my therapist worked with me and I remember her going. You know. You'Ve just got to jump out of your comfort zone and I was like you know what I'm determined I'm gon na. Do it, what could go wrong? Will I die? Will I die if I show up in my hair looking natural and stuff when you start getting used to how your face looks with your natural hair you're going to start loving your face every time I looked in the mirror, and I didn't like my face. I was like it's just because I'm not used to it. Our hair is the only type of hair that defies gravity it's actually going. Actually I am beautiful from within my head defies gravity. My head is my crown I am blessed like the hair is one thing I can have: butt implants booming plants all kinds of implants. I can change my teeth, but literally my hair is growing from my scalp and when I stop when I start to love, what's growing from my scalp, then then I get to love that part of me. So your body is 70 water. So if you want to water this Garden, you've got to water yourself, most black women. We actually have really low iron, so I doubled up on my iron supplements and I doubled up on my Vitamin D supplements in Winter, and I've also now been taking biotin. But it's got to be really high quality biotin. The girl that inspired me on this journey is called star puppy. She did a video about her hair regimen and all the oils that she mixes and uses. So this is like a video if you're going through something like that way. You probably there's a part of you that you don't really like, I would say, like start liking it before it even changes, because then that gives you the motivation to take care of it to nurture it to let it grow and whatever phase you're in you're. Just gon na continue loving him
