me before getting my hair done

2/28 Edited to

... Read moreGetting ready to have my hair done is always a special moment for me. There’s a mix of anticipation and excitement in the air. As someone who proudly embraces their natural black baby hair, I love how this part of my hair often showcases delicate, fine hairs that frame my face beautifully. Before my salon appointment, I spend some time moisturizing and caring for my scalp and edges to ensure my hair remains healthy and strong. I’ve found that keeping my baby hair nourished with gentle oils and using soft edge brushes really helps maintain their delicate texture. One thing I enjoy about the process is thinking about the style I want to achieve, whether it’s a sleek look with gelled edges or a more natural, fluffy style. Black baby hair is unique and adds character, so finding ways to highlight it rather than hide it is empowering. Plus, it’s a reminder of self-love and embracing one’s roots—both literally and figuratively. For anyone preparing to get their hair done, I recommend embracing your natural traits, including baby hairs, as they enhance your overall look. And don’t hesitate to communicate with your stylist about how best to protect and style them. Taking this moment to appreciate your hair before the transformation truly adds value to the entire experience.

The image features the title "HOW TO GET OUT OF A SLUMP" in red text. It shows a hand holding a smartphone with a blank screen and a bed with clothes on it, all against a light pink background with red accents.
This image defines a "slump" as having no motivation despite tasks, listing symptoms like excessive phone usage, inability to get out of bed, feeling groggy, and being unable to complete tasks. It asks "so.. how do we get out of it?" with a swipe prompt.
The image presents five tactics to overcome a slump: the 5-second rule, the 5-minutes rule, using past mistreatment as motivation, romanticizing small tasks, and watching motivational videos. It notes these are personal tips, not guaranteed fixes.
let’s talk about getting out of slumps🫠
there is nothing i hate more than slumps😩 especially on days i have a lot to do! i have a lot of friends who feel the same way too, so i figured we could talk about it :) it’s like you want to get up and get things done so badly, but there is something holding you back. this is going to sound co

8 things to consider before getting starter locs:
1) Size — Do you want thicker or slimmer locs? 2) Number — How many locs do you want? 3) Method — Do you want to start your locs instantly (crochet), with 2-strand twists, braids, or comb coils? 4) Maintenance — What would maintenance look like for you? Do you plan on doing your own hair
