The story behind the BC:
Over the past few months I've been seeking as much 'knowledge of self' as possible. In these studies, I wanted to dissect as much about myself as possible. Find the why behind everything. In terms of the food I chose to eat, the activities in which I chose to indulge, etc etc, leading into me and my hair.
When delving into the issue of hair... I researched the origin of the relaxer, dissecting why we relax our hair, questioning why do we choose to assimilate, the messages we send when we wear relaxed hair etc etc. But 'on the surface' it didn't make sense either. Why are we letting someone (who HAS to wear gloves) put a CHEMICAL on the closest pores/follicle to our brain!?! Why do we 'hate' our new growth?
From there, the decision was made! I had to immediately cut it off. I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin until I cut it. My barber and I chose to wait for a full moon. So I waited for about a week and a half before the actual cut: felt like a month!
