I don't know about y'all but I'm really bad at checking the weather and for being a natural, that's B A D! Let me tell y'all about this time where I finally conquered my braid-out…
So, one day (wash day), which is usually Sunday for me, I shampooed and conditioned with my AG natural Boost and Balance. After, I put my Aztec clay mask on that had drops of Grapeseed oil and water to balance. CHILE, I kept that mask on for about an hour and when I rinsed it out …. Curls was on SHABOING! I was so excited about the braid-out I was about to do because the texture of my hair was already bombAF.
BUT THENI remembered I had these five-inch claws on my hand from Tiger Fest and how they handicap me from literally doing EVERYTHING. I had to think, who was around and would help me with this mini crisis… I called my home girl Althee-thee, AKA Althea. (before she put the braids in I moisturized and did the whole L.O.C method.) Now, let’s just say Althea doesn’t have the same hair texture as me and wasn’t really advanced with putting Lil Yachty braids in 3C/4A hair. My girl did the damn coffee shop and we both were really excited about the future results.
I KEPT THEM DAMN BRAIDS IN ALLL WEEEKKK. I did this because I feel as though the longer I keep the braids in, the better the crinkle. In addition, to me wanting better crinkle I was also pressed about this so called “date” I was supposed to go on (let’s just say boys suck). Anyway eventually, we get to Friday, you know the day that commence all weekend festivities, and I take out my hair and it was soo cute after all the fluffing I did. So, I’m in my mirror basically all morning dancing and shaking my lil behind REALLY excited about wearing my hair out... I finally walk outside and I kid you not my hair blew up like a balloon and all of my crinkle melted away… within 5 seconds. BLOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN I tell ya!
The worst part is while I was walking to my destination, I was taking selfies on Snapchat and when I see my reflection it was like my heart shattered into a million pieces and I calmly slid my phone into my back pocket. I gave up on the thought of me looking like a QUEEN and started believing in the beauty of Cleveland Brown from The Cleveland show because that’s what I was looking like after that humidity hit. SMH
Moral of the story my Naturally Lost fam, is to please check the weather before you take out the crown. Don't end up looking like Cleveland Brown. <3
