As many of you maybe wondering, why is it that I have no fro' in my picture although my blog clearly states I am a tall Palestinian who rocks one? Who am I kidding, none of you are wondering because if you were or any of you were paying any attention I am sure ONE of you would have pointed out the contradiction.
Well, I thought I should address this, even though I will feel like a traitorous bitch. I simply look prettier with straight hair, and so my vanity won out over my logic. There, I said it. I am vain and I am proud, and one day I will share with you how vanity literally saved my life. But that is another posting.
Yes, I had super curly hair, and the super curly hair was cute, but that was it. Just cute. I do not want to be "cute." I want to be pretty, beautiful, stunning, earth shattering, I think you get the point here. I just did not think that cute was working for me. So I chose a straight haired photo. However, I also have another confession. I have relaxed my hair.
Yes, the fro' is pretty much gone, save for very loose curls and some straight bits. You see, what happened was I bought a wicked strong new flat iron, and that apparently coupled with a heat protector that I used in conjunction with said wicked strong flat iron relaxed part of my hair. When I say relaxed, it made the hair on the top of my head and what would be considered bangs bone straight. I have spent YEARS trying to grow my hair out all nice and even, and this freaking happens. It did not go back to normal, so I had to do something to fix it, so I bought an at home keratin treatment, and relaxed the rest myself.
Now, I am not going to lie, I really really like my hair the way it is now. It is a little wild, kind of beachy, and a lot less cute. I still have straight bits, but I guess it kind of looks like I do it on purpose. You can actually tell my hair is long now, which is what I have been going for for years. So I hope there is no permanent damage, because I will cry if my hair starts breaking off and I have to start growing it out all over again. That is not fun considering my hair barely grows half an inch a month. However, I will go over the roots in a few months to maintain what I have now. Apparently it is not supposed to be permanent, but who knows. Until then, I am rocking the new look, but will not change the name of this blog, for I still have a fro' at heart.
