I kept seeing this video on Tumblr but didn't pay it any mind because it looked like they were promoting some new product. But this morning, I was "like let me take a look because it must be a little important". I'm soooo glad I did. This video is funny as hell.
Patience is KEY my lovely new naturals! It really is. You want your hair to grow long? You want your hair to be super thick? You want your hair to look a certain way? Well patience is key. You can't expect to grow APL or any longer length of hair in like 2/3 months after you just BC. Nope. It's not gonna happen. Sometimes I think these natural hair "gurus" (some pictured above) sit back and read all their comments on YouTube, Tumblr, Facbook, and Instagram and just laugh at some of the questions they get asked. I know I would. I mean, even when I'm watching some of their videos, I happen to scroll down and read some of the comments and laugh my damn self. It's just crazy how chicks would sell their souls to get long hair. Just take good care of your hair but most importantly take care of yourself and the rest will work it's way out.
Now I don't want to sound like a hypocrite and say "chill on those hair length goals" because I myself got a little growth challenge going on. So who am I to talk. BUT there's a difference between setting goals and chilling/waiting without taking any growth aids while your hair reaches that goal, i.e. ME, and just OBSESSING like taking a whole bunch of Biotin/ any other vitamins for hair or growth aids just to reach your hair length goal. That's too much because what starts to happen is your focus is all on you hair. You start wishing your hair was a certain length so you can do this style and that style or you wish you hair was a certain curl pattern because you hate yours. You wish it was curlier or coiler. Once you get to that place of realization that "IT'S JUST HAIR!" you forget all about the length of your hair. I think I've hit that point and it feels good!
Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for my hair to get to APL, but I'm perfectly fine with my currently length. I'm stopping and smelling the roses, meaning, I'm enjoying my hair now because 1. if I thought my hair was a hassle now, I can only imaging what it's going to be like when it grows longer and 2. I know once my hair gets longer, I'm going to wish it was shorter like how it is now. It kills me. Some of these chicks feen for longer, thicker hair. They have NO IDEA what they are getting themselves into. Just watch some of these Natural YouTube channels. Some of these girls started their journey 2/3+ years ago and now their hair is super long and thick. They look like they don't want to deal with it at all. Just imagine what YOU will have to go through when YOUR hair gets longer.
Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day and your hair isn't going to grown in 1 day either. It's all about PATIENCE!
