Why We Should Love Our Natural Hair
ltaylorblog.files.wordpress.com

Do you love your natural hair? I know that question can be hard to answer if your hair is similar to mine. Sometimes it's soft, bouncy, and my curls are beautiful and other times it's dry, unruly, and simply untameable. I don't even have enough fingers and toes to count how many times I've come close to giving up being natural and going back to getting perms. Almost five years after I got my last perm I am still going strong and I'm loving my hair in it's natural state more and more everyday. Going natural has been a learning experience for me because as my chemically straightened ends grew out and my wavy texture started to take over the entire length of my hair I started to look at myself in a different light. Until I had to go through the process of transitioning I never took the time to look at my hair and see how beautiful it was without it being straight. Your hair is one of the many things that makes you unique and I think that everyone should learn to love their natural locks because:


1. It is versatile

There are many different styles you can do with your natural hair and the list gets longer as your hair grows.


2. It is healthier for your hair

Rather than using harmful chemicals that can make your hair weak and cause breakage natural hair products nurture your hair stands and makes them stronger.


3. It is least expensive

Instead of going to the salon every month to get your hair relaxed you can mix up your own products and do your hair at home.


4. Your hair flourishes

When chemicals aren't constantly being added to your hair you will notice that it will grow more than it did before and it may become thicker too.


5. IT IS BEAUTIFUL!

Like I said earlier your hair is one of the things that makes you unique. No one's hair is the exact same as someone else's and that's what makes it special because it's yours.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
