So obviously I am at work and instead of working, I'm combing through my usual blogs (ps- I am still crying about the reduction in the frequency of personal blogposts)
Anyways I come across this interesting post about hair.
Which is really good that people are beginning to take note about.
Currently my hair is in 6 plaits all back across my head and its really rough because this is the second week running.
My bosses do not even care anymore and HR has started to emulate me my plaiting their own hair.
When I comes to hair, I'm pretty much the path of least resistance.
I mean, I have an event I NEED to slay at, my hair has to be LAID. and it could be braids, or crochet or a weave, as long as it shows my good side and is flipping low maintenance.
For someone with relaxed hair, I take super super super good care of my hair according to my natural friend Eneni, Ore you are really extra with this hair shit.
Meaning I do a pre-poo treatment before I shampoo, I do minimal heat and I do not comb wet hair.
Anything else is Jara.
But what I have learnt working in corporate Nigeria and carrying didi to work (no wig) is that no one cares if you do not care.
I work in a building with about 20 other companies and we all use the same 4 elevators, I'm constantly on my phone while riding, so I am yet to have anyone stop me and ask why my hair isn't done.
And if I ever get asked, I would respond- IT IS DONE. Just not how you like
which is really fine because it is not your hair and it is not on your head, so really.
Now for all my bragging I will be the first to admit that a huge chunk of this confidence stems from the fact that Eros hates the wig life. Which translates to the fact that I am confident enough to carry my didi because in the Nigerian wife lingo for "how is it your problem"= My husband is not complaining.
And because of how many extra minutes of sleep it gives me in the mornings- Neither am I.
Pss- Yesterday my client asked me if I was transitioning. I laughed and told her nah, I'm going on holiday in a week- I need my hair to be FRESSHHHH. meaning one week in literally.
Pss- Still undecided about what I should do to said hair. torn between crochet braids- because
Either way- These IG followers gon get it!
