Letter to my Hair

Hey tresses, no stresses okay?
Its been 25 years now already that we've been together, and I know that at times I haven't treated you right. I've down right abused you! Relaxed, colored, bleached and just plain ol always putting you on the back burner. I'm sorry my love. I am here to tell you officially that I am going to finally be there for you.

Day in and day out I am going to care for you like I should have. I am going to baby you, because right now you can only grow into a baby and I have not let you mature into the healthy mane that you are.  You are a child and I am your mother, and momma's come home.  I am working on you from the inside out. I know your elders need the most care, and thats what I'm concerning myself with first. I also know that you could stand to shed some dead weight, if ya know what I mean? So that will be right around the corner.

You are a beautiful young one. At times you have sprouted and showed your potential , and you've been trying to do so for years I see that now. But I was never to receptive on the signs, I think I took you for granted. All that is in the past and I am ready for us to hand in hand go on a journey together.

A journey to where you ask? A place of nourishment, and refinement. A discovery of healing and awakening. I'm ready. I finally have the true patience needed for you. My silk mane, my maine coon. ;)

I've many new things in store for you that I'm sure you've noticed already. It's been dark lately, a lot lately, and for good reason. You have seen some light, you have seen some light, baby you have seen some LIGHT! You don't need anymore sun, moon, lamp, shade, or candle light. You've been exposed and out for all the world to see for YEARS, for DECADES, for a damn QUARTER CENTURY. You've been in pools, lakes, ponds, oceans, and seas. From soft water to hard. From cotton pillow, to cotton collar, to scrunchies with metal on them. Those dog days are over and away you go!

I've decided that I dont want anyone to see you anymore. I don't think anyone deserves to see you. My baby squishy caterpillar crawling up my arm to my check and now resting at my collar bone and sometimes shoulder. Away you go for the world to wait and see. You must first morph into the matured mane coon that you are! I want no one to get a chance to lay their eyes on you. You are hurt, by me, and damaged by me. So you must be protected by me and in doing so I must hide you. Please do not feel that I am ashamed of you but honey you have seen more of the world than most 90 year olds considering your journey and I can't bear to lose you too soon, again. I got to find some better decor for your attire though if you're going to in a pupae for so long.

Along with it being more dark now, don't you feel more hydrated? Well I've been doing my best so let me know if something ain't working, I don't want to waste anymore of our time. I need you to be healthy and full and lovely for me. I want to be able to hug you again. I miss you in my arms. The lovely beautiful soft you. I've been watering you left and right in and out.

I also have some rituals that I've been putting US through, you with the daily moisturizing of the ends and the mn mix on the lovely skin so close to you twice a day. And me with my biotin and msm. I'm doing what I can on my end, I am facilitating you 2500% like I should have been before, so now do your job and flourish as you may.

No stresses my tresses
Good Night
