I was lazy...was how it started. I didn't want to wash my hair. I don't know what was in my mind, obviously nothing about cleanliness. I made a new friend named Martha awhile back who owns a hair salon. I love when you go to a hair place and they wash your hair and in Ghana they do it 2 or 3 times. It is pure heaven to me. So, I thought, why not have Martha wash my hair? I went over to her place on Monday and told her. I was always saying she can do my hair but never figuring out a time. This was the time. So, then as she was washing, which was just over a bucket and her apprentices did it, she asked if I wanted to do any style. So, I said, let's go buy hair and you can put it into braids. She was excited and that made me excited.We went to town by yellow-yellow so that the air would dry my hair. Coming back I had that wind blown look to the extreme.
To be honest, I really don't like this style much on white people. I think our scalps are too white and it looks funny. It will only last me 10 days to 2 weeks because my hair is soft and the braids will slip off. But as I have been out and about doing language everyone has loved it. I have also used it to learn new words and get better at my past tense verbs. So, yay on all accounts!Thanks for praying!
