Grow It: AC, awareness and motivation Hello girls!
And voila! The cycle of Friday chicory coming to an end! Today, we will treat the last topic of discussion for which there had been votes. This is probably the lightest and less analytical, but hey, that's fine, closing the loop. :-)
So in this aspect of his book, chicory tells how she began to realize the non-growing of her hair - and their status, at the same time. In fact, it was rather the fact, since its passage in Tyrone, the crazy scissors, because it never managed to get back his hair too long, despite the years that have passed.
In high school, she says she asked the same question to all girls with long hair she met, regardless of their ethnicity (white, black, asian ...): "How you doing for having hair too long? ". No response has been good to bring. :-S
It is as if there was some suggestion that long hair is innate, I think: they were either long or you do not. Point bar. A bit like the fairy hair bent over our cradle at birth to give us - or not - this "luck" ... Anyway! You've never had that uncomfortable feeling you?
Returning to our story, the story of chicory! One day, always at the time of high school, she says she has heard that straightening the hair was growing. Of course, believe they have found the solution to his "problem", she made straightening. Except she did not like the result and his hair has not pushed for more same. And one more disappointment! :-S
When she entered college, her hair was at CBL * - yet - but it has succeeded in growing to the PLA. By cons, with split ends, dry, damaged and brittle. Yet. :-(
At the end of the college, while she was in transition - because tired of straightening - she started using a moisturizer activator loop-based glycerin. No need to get away, again: at the time, there were not 36 activators with glycerin, it would probably be the scurl. Finally short! She used to saturate her hair with - Part uncurled as well as the natural - and she has struggled like this for a while.
After this short summary of his wanderings on hair care during adolescence and young adulthood, it tells a story significant to say the least ... I sets the scene: the scene takes place during a lecture, still in college.
chicory wears her hair in big braids it maintained by a rubber band about 5 cm from the tip.
While monitoring his progress, triturated and draws idly on the edge of one of her braids. Then she looks at her. It is thick, dry, dull and a little gray. Like Tyrone, a few years ago, she observes disapprovingly hair, turns his nose while continuing to tug on it ... Except that she suddenly does not feel any tension when she pulls. For a split second, she did not understand what was happening to him, do not understand why she felt more tension, and then wham! Shock. She realizes that the non-woven, just below the elastic remained between his fingers, but most of all "linked" to the rest of the braid! She had a lock of hair 5 cm split between your fingers!
First sensation: shame. Then the gene. Unable to leave to recover from his shock, alone in his corner. Suddenly, she held the small bundle of straw - his hair pulled out - in the palm of his hand closed until the end of the course. Shocked.
Once out, she made sure to find a trash can covered in a discreet place to get rid of his unfortunate vestige. She wanted - and I understand more qu'aisément! - No one sees or knows she was not able to care for her hair properly, to keep on his head.
Then she said it was the last time that something like that happened to him. His serious research on the care of hair started really started since.
fleas shake it, eh? For my part, I call it a realization made under conditions radical! Well, we should not fool ourselves any CA starts with a click due to an awareness of a situation that does not suit us, but mine, it was just a pissed to stay to admire the other hair while mine was stagnant and did not satisfy me as it is, Hair not falling as soon as I touch them. I would have been more traumatized than ... :-S you, it was what your trigger? With violent wallop of shame or so effectively with just a big pissed off? :-)
