Wash Day + Length Check

So today was initially scheduled as wash day, though as mentioned on my FB page...FRO is lookin pretty darn good for someone going on 8 day hair. Being only the second day of the New Year a woman has instead been caught up in all the inspiring posts and words being strewn around her inbox, Twitter and Rss feed. This is something I adore & truly relish in….lightbulb moments going off all over the world, and all thanks to one flip of the calendar. In hindsight none of us should stand in the waiting wings to begin the lives we are meant to live…but often the simple acknowledgment to begin is strength enough.

It’s a reoccurring trend here the fact that I abhor length checks, and frankly it’s only for the simple fact that I never seem to get them right. I feel a bit silly breaking out the measuring tape and could never get the angle right for the right snap….so here’s the best of what the day brought about.

All in all….good job eh? I’m hiding the end tip of the hair with my thumb, though rest assured my bra strap reaches no where lower than that there shot. I know a lot of naturals do begin to think of straightening once reaching a certain goal length….and despite that wee voice inside that says to just ignore those whispers, I am curious how FRO would look after a blowout or flat iron. It’s taken over three years to even think of the possibility of heading down this road….so we’ll see;).

Also, BTC is coming up on a pretty special anniversary in a few weeks & this l’il blogger may have something up her sleeves!  So, if you’re in the NYC area the weekend of January 29th, save the date for a  fun celebration! Full deets to come!
