It is not as drastic as it sounds. I am not going underground totally. However, I may be going off the grid when it pertains to hair salons. For the last 3 to 4 weeks, I have been shampooing and conditioning my own hair. However, in the next few weeks, I will have to make a decision. Will I go natural or will I retouch my hair? I am greatly leaning towards retouching my own hair. I have been reading all kinds of posts to see what other women are doing. It is not that I don't have money to do my own hair. I am tired of dealing with stylists who act like they can't use products because they are trying to promote weave usage. Nothing is wrong with weaves, but nothing is wrong with letting your hair grow. Sometimes, you have to see if you are in hostile hair territory. It seems the problems that I have, other women across the country have experienced as well. I suppose it is just the human element. Since washing and conditioning my own hair, I have seen that it is really thickening up and growing quickly from previous problems caused by a stylist and myself. I am not mad at stylists. Sometimes, people have to push you into your own destiny.
While my hair grows out, I am doing other things. I am continuing to focus on my doctoral work. I recently got my ears re-pierced and I am focusing on losing some weight. Don't get me wrong. I have always been able to rock the short hair, but I desire some length at this point. If reading this post and you have some excellent do it yourself hair ideas, drop me a line or to at shamer@sandrahamer.com. I look forward to networking with women around the world who have been successfully doing it themselves for years. Cheers!
