BEAUTY | I Am Not My Hair.

Hello!

So, about two days ago, I awoke with an urge for a massive change. I’d finished washing my hair and I could feel the damage constantly bleaching it had done, my once perfectly curly kinky hair seemed fried and lifeless, plus I was getting bored of the colour and the lenght, I think when your hair is long and is the texture mine is, you get pretty sick of having to constantly detangle it etc… Sooo, I grabbed a pair of scissors and hacked off all the colour. Et Voila I now have an adorable Teeny Weeny Afro a la Solange Knowles.

My family and friends have been on my case day in and day out as i’ve always been known as ‘That girl with the big hair’ but I was getting so bored of it, I was holding onto length and unhealthy hair because other people loved it, not me. 

In the words of the wonderful India Arie, “I am not my hair, I am not this skin, I am not your expectations no, I am not my hair, I am not this skin, I am the soul that lives within”

Has anyone else done any major image changes this summer? Let me know! 

Also, I will do a review on the items I’m wearing soon! They’re from Romwe!

XOXO Sade.

    Very cute! I did the big chop two years ago and had about an inch of hair. Now it has grown out and I am texlaxing. A new change would be awesome but I am wanting to see how long it can get. Beautiful hair.www.together-inspired.com

    I love your hair like this. It looks beautiful and really suits you. My big spring/summer hair change has been getting my hair done in box braids. I absolutely love them. I think it's becoming a staple hairstyle for me. πŸ™‚
