It's been 8 months since a brush has touched my hair. I have beads and wraps. It's unique. I don't want to give up!!! What do you do on an "off" day?
On an off day, which I have had many, I make sure I don't look in the mirror. I also put on a tam and cover my hair. I does not help that my son who loves order and neatness tell me I look terrible. We all get down, believe me, that is what grows the inner strength. I have never in my life seen things through to the end when it takes this much time , except my marriage-which is not at its end..ha ha...but yeah, just hang in there. Can you see what they will look like in 3 years....beautiful aren't they!....keep that vision in your head...you can't get there if you don't hang in...you can do it...we all do it....you are beautiful now...maybe a little crazy looking today, but you are still beautiful....get a shoe lace and tie them up loosely. the texture of the lace keeps them in place when tied very loose...give yourself a coat of nail polish and do your toes too...make them all pretty and girlie...put on a pretty dress or your favorite outfit, even if you are staying home for the day....do you have pets...have them kiss you like crazy, they still think you are you no matter how you look today...kisses help....go on google images and look at some funny pictures and LOL.....I would give you a hug if I could reach you, so here is the next best thing....Peace 
That's you and me...hugs...hugs...hugs
Do you need a hug too Rook Bee, here you go

Do you have bands and tams? they really help you to forget the mess i think
Well...if my confidence really plummets, I think about all the conditioner and combs I'd go through trying to brush them out. Might as well keep them, then. XD
It is human nature to look in a mirror and not be satisfied by every detail. I been there before especially when others stare cause they never seen dreaded folks. Loose the mirror everyone is beautiful in many ways.Mirrors can play nasty tricks on ones self esteem and make us do crazy things. Eight months, a yearwas realhard for me sometimes, now when I see these same things I just dont care anymore. Dont you think folks comin out of salons and barbers think the same thing on certain days? bet they do. But I bet butterflies and birds and flowering trees, andtoddlersdon't. So I focus on trying to be more like them. Hope this at least makes you smile, peace
And I got a new bead yesterday in the mail too .
.Patience isn't always easy to aporeciate when we are being taught the lesson, but I know I will get great joy when my babies are mature, and from the lessons I learned along the way. Hope you are feeling better about it today!!
