We've all tried to make changes... and it typically blows up in our faces because we try to change the actions before we actually change our minds.
After spending 3 hours in the chair making a transformation from relaxed to natural, a woman refused to look at herself in the mirror. Steam, de-tox, deep condition, double strand twist out, and flat twist later- she swears that she hates her hair. It shouldn't have been a surprise, because she hated it in the consultation, she hated it in the wash chair, hated it in the steamer, and hated it in the ionic dryer. Preachy is so annoying - so communicating the danger of relaxer to your BODY (not just your HAIR) took a lot of finesse. The crazy thing was that she has ALREADY decided to make the switch for the health of her hair, but was still dealing with all of the self esteem junk that goes along with the switch. This occurs so often that some natural hair stylists prefer not to take transitioning clients. The reality was that hating her hair - had nothing to do with her hair at all...
And did she like it when she finally looked? She laughed when we commented on her radiance, and said she had no idea what we were seeing - she un-did it with her fingers (all four stylists watched in horror), No one said change would be easy.
Selfless Plug: LocLife BK will now have a customized line that will not be available anywhere else. BOOYAH.
Here's some propaganda reading to support my point...
