In response to the numerous emails sent regarding the last post "Shoptalk" I feel I should address a few points.
It was several months ago that I started thinking about taking my braids out which not for nothing I have worn my hair braided for many years - I just was starting to feel that it was time for a change and that it was becoming too much of a burden on myself to keep doing it since I have been braiding my hair myself all that time(about ten years)
The "comment" that was made was not the reason for the change it just reminded me of what I already had decided but just never acted on. I don't think i was so starved for a change that i could just walk into any salon and get a new "do" as it were. I can't afford my hair to be busted right now. So i knew i was going to have to search around and find someplace that was reputable and had people who knew what they were doing. Nothing of course is guaranteed but i feel comfortable with the choice I made - distance wise, competency-wise etc.
As to the fear - face it it's been at least ten years since i changed my hairstyle that alone is enough reason, aside from that, there's the underlying current of "changing my life" which is based in losing my son - and the fact that my life will never be the same again and in all things now going forward everything is "new" and so there is a degree of fear present anyway, no matter what the subject is. It is however up to me not to succumb to it and in this case anyway go ahead and do what is needed which is why i just went ahead and made the appointment. Which actually was the easy part. Trying to figure out what hairstyle i want...is a whole nother story....
