I can’t hold it back anymore. Gotta let it go. There is an issue at hand that I feel I need to address to the masses. So if you have a weak stomach or are easily offended please stop reading here (it gets pretty bad). Many of you all reading this post, would like to establish (or in some cases, maintain) healthy hair. I have two questions for you how are you going to do it? When are you going to do it? 

  

Here’s one more for you. Ever since beauty stores have appeared in your neighborhood, via major chains and “mom” and “pop” stores has you hair gotten better? Or worse? (Hummmm?)    Depending upon the way you answered the question, I can tell a little bit about how much value you place on the health (and appearance) of your hair. 

  If you’re thinking that your hair’s state has worsened chances are, you have been persuaded into believing that you can purchase (inferior) products, be totally clueless on how, or when to use them, and you will be able to produce the same results that your professional stylist does, out of the salon. They Got You! What is even crazier, is, regardless of the fact that you seem to be loosing more and more hair (not including the breakage and split ends and/or dried up color you have) you still continue to perform the same ritual, looking for different results. 

  Now here we are today, and if the health of your hair means anything to you, I suggest that you do something about it, something different that is! When people want the best results, they “hire” professionals, right? You may want to keep that in mind. 

  Some of you don’t mind if your hair looks like your babysitter’s or your ex-neighbor’s hair (who by the way uses box perms to relax her hair and never gets her ends trimmed). You know the one with that “long, see through” hair, the one that refuses to get it trimmed, because she wants it to grow! (Huh?) It’s sad to say but people still judge you (at least initially) by the way you speak and the way you carry yourself. If I have offended anyone, I apologize, but like mama use to tell me, “If you throw a rock at a pack of dogs, it’s the hit dog that hollers loudest”. 

  

The point I’m trying to make is, if establishing healthy hair is one of your goals for the year, then you must try something different (if your old results weren’t producing the results you were looking for). Good luck to you in all your future endeavors, until then grow it…don’t sew it, bless it, don’t stress it and try not to cut any corners when it comes to establishing/maintaining ANYTHING that is IMPORTANT to you.
