This is such a refreshing share and I find this topic fascinating. I have recently been through a similar process of returning to myself, for me it was choosing to stop dying my hair blonde, then slowly growing out some ‘natural hair colour’ disasters and finally returning to my natural virgin colour for the first time since I was 14!! And even though in some ways it seems trivial in the big scheme of things, for me the process meant so much more.
As I kid I remember being told that my hair was “mousey-brown” with a noticeable tone of distaste and after that all I ever wanted to do was change or hide my natural hair. And now I’m in my mid 30’s, I’m finally ready to embrace myself as I am. But that doesn’t mean I won’t ever get highlights again, if I choose to- I don’t want to ever draw a hard line or make judgements because the idea of returning to our true self is also owning the different versions of ourselves, even when they appear to be conflicting.
Thank you for your honesty, it’s great to see someone speaking about this. Also- don’t underestimate the depth our eyes can convey to others. Your gaze communicates a lot too and we can read the wisdom there 💛
Thank you for the share and the builds. So valuable! Gosh, I must have the slowest growing hair in the world so it's going to take a while to get to fully natural. I can't wait to see my actual colour. I'm going to keep some face framers for now – something I can do for a quarter of the price and a lot less often. Maybe four times a year. Big difference from 1/4 head foils every eight weeks. And the eyes... I never even thought. ♥️👀
Yes it took a couple of years to completely grow it out and get some length back- but earlier this year I discovered Hinu hair growth oil (made from plants) and it has really sped things up! Would recommend xx
This speaks to me so much. I’m in the middle of finding myself without all the perfect grooming, Botox, nails, high fashion and it’s tough. My reflection was more appealing before, to my eyes. It’s bloody hard. But I thank you for making it feel more important to find this acceptance of myself. I choose this for me. And my daughter. And the health of those young girls that follow, in time. To be true to me. A return to naturalness. I love those words. Thanks for this.
Thank you for reading and sharing. I am definitely feel less polished, but ultimately more comfortable. I don't think I expected to bump into comfort. An ease in my physical being.
