Braid-ed-dy-do-dah Braided-i-day




So on my back to natural journey in a symbolic time #earthweek, I decided to quickly some single braids/plaits and just leave them out. I'm getting used to it, usually I feel I look like a 12 year old when I do. However, since I'm now in my 30's and that would mean I'm shaving a good 20 years of my true age :) I guess it does seem so bad anymore.

Why braids and not the ever popular twists? I dunno twists scare me more, my hair doesn't seem to know how to respond at times, some strings, some poofs, and sublimal testimony that somewhere under my exterior many ethnicities combined to provide my heritage. So the long and short, braids for now.

Gradually I hope to move to more "grown up" styles!

  2. Lol its true! Extensions make me look older, but I'm FINALLY crossing into that stage where looking younger still leaves me old enough :P
