Here... Some more!

As promised, here are some more pictures of my new cut. i love it. Of course my regimen has now changed, I co-wash my hair EVERYDAY now. Co-wash is a term that means conditioner wash. Instead of using regular shampoo, I use the cheap conditioner's such as V05 or Suave and it keeps my hair nice and moist instead of dry. If you look at it, conditioners have suds, so it gets the hair clean. Smells good as well. I love the wash and go look so, I wash my hair everyday. I only comb my hair when I am washing my hair. I use S-curl to moisturize and fantasia aloe gel to the curlies a nice hold. I deep condition my hair once a week. My natural hair loves moisture, so I use a light protein conditioner such as LeKair's cholesterol conditioner. I absolutely love my natural hair and I don't quite know what my hair texture is so lets just say i'm a 4a/b. Its not the kinkiest texture there, but from the 4a's I have seen, I can conclude that i am not a 4a. My hair goal is BSL stretched and my ultimate goal is BSL UNSTRETCHED. I LOVE big hair and I am just too happy to be nappy! I am gonna applaud TKeyah Crystal Keymah for her beautiful natural hair and a gorgeous braidout! I can't wait....

The REAL Me

I dedicate this post and lyrics to myself and to others who cannot and understand and accept this change. You can Like it, Love it, or Hate it. Cuz I LOVE it. I never thought I would feel this good, this empowered, this feminine. I was scared because I thought I wouldn't look right. But I look and feel great. Thats the thing with the Big Chop, many come to realize, "hey I look better than I thought!" you not not only surpass your image of how far your natural beauty can go, you also feel this beauty on the inside. Not your normal standard of beauty huh? Thats what I love MOST about it. I'm not here to live up to other peoples standards. I live up to MINE and what god gave me. This is me... take it, or leave it. If you think less of me because I cut my hair, you weren't that important anyway. Re-evaluate your frame of mind and love yourself. PEACE.



Take Me As I Am
[Verse 1:]
She's been down and out
She's been wrote about
She's been talked about, constantly
She's been up and down
She's been pushed around
But they held her down, NYC
She has no regrets
She accepts the past
All these things they
helped make to make she
She's been lost and found
And she's still around
There's a reason for everything

You know I've been holdin on.
Try to make me weak,
But I still stay strong.
Put my life all up in these songs
Jus so you can feel me.
so you can get the real me

[Chorus:]
So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.
Just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.

[Verse 2:]
Now she's older now
Yes, she's wiser now
Can't disguise her now
She don't need
No one tellin her
What to do and say
No one tellin her
Who to be
She's on solid ground
She's been lost and found
Now, she answers to G-O-D
And she's confident
This is not the end
Ask me how I know
Cause she is me.

You know I've been holdin on.
Try to make me weak,
But I still stay strong.
Put my life all up in these songs
Jus so you can feel me.
so you can get the real me

[Chorus:]
So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.
Just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.

[Bridge: 2x]
So it's all or nothing at all,
All or nothing at all
Don't you know I can only be me.
(I can only be me, yeah)

[Chorus:]
So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.
Just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.

Take me as I am.
Take me as I am.
Said it's all or nothing at all
Said it's all or nothing at all

Just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all. (This is me)
Just take me as I am, (take me as i am)
or have nothing at all.
Just take me as I am, (take me as i am)
or have nothing, nothing at all.
Take me as I am.
