I hopped on YouTube Live for a little Friday night girl talk to celebrate 15 years on this platform (my anniversary was Sunday the 8th), and yes… I started the stream yapping on mute. Classic. I talked about how wild it is to have basically a video diary of my life—mostly hair, of course, but also travel, lifestyle, and even bigger personal stuff like my ongoing fibroid journey. I’m genuinely grateful for everyone who’s been here since the blurry webcam days (or who just subscribed today). Hair-wise, I shared where my head is right now: my long-term goal is healthy tailbone-length hair again, and I’m planning my first-ever professional trim as a fully natural girl in November—plus my first silk press as a natural. I’m excited and terrified, because I’ve had too many rough stylist experiences, so I’m putting a lot of hope into this appointment (and I’ll be loud about being tender-headed). I also gave a little peek into what’s been working lately—twists over wash-and-gos, being more open to silicones for slip, and staying focused on using up my product stash (I’m aiming to finish 200 products this year).
