I saved the best for last!

If you’ve been reading along you saw me rejoice over my

“Photoshoot hair”.

Where did that come from?

It was a gift given to me from God, delivered via intuition.

Here’s how it happened:

I had done massive work to prep for my US Family Tour & LA Photoshoot.

The NIGHT before I was to leave home, my intuition started nudging me to…blow dry my super curly, natural black hair.

Wait. What?! Blow dry my hair.

Backtrack for those unfamiliar with black hair. It’s freaking complicated!

I spent most of my life with chemically straightened hair (“relaxed hair”).

Once I moved to Australia, I made the difficult (read life changing) decision to cut off ALL my hair because there was no one to continue to care for it here.

What a self worth journey THAT was!

What followed was two years of me learning, mostly through YouTube, how to care for my super dense, thick & curly natural hair to keep it healthy.

There are many different ways black women wear their hair, chemically straightened (called a relaxer), natural, underneath a wig, braided or weaved to add real or synthetic hair to name a few.

I was approaching a five figure photo shoot and I had absolutely no idea what to do with my hair so that it would fit the luxury look and feel I wanted.

So cue the universe, which tells me to… Blow dry my own hair at 9 PM the night before I fly out, even though I still have packing to do!

The difficulty of blow drying my hair, from its natural state, which I have never done even once before, would be analogous to a white woman deciding to give herself a perm, for the first time, the night before her travel.

Do I listen? Yes.

What do I do?

I took out the blow dryer that I bought.

It is still in a box covered with dust. It does not have the comb attachment that blow dryers for drying black hair use. So, I have a blow dryer in one hand and a comb in the other.

I head to…YouTube!

Search Terms: How do I blow dry natural 4c hair??

I find some tips which I follow, and you see the results. I had NO CLUE my hair was soo long. None! See how tired I look and how late it is in that very first photo!

Where is the miracle?

When I searched YouTube, I saw a video with a Before picture of a woman on one side with hair just like mine and an After picture of a woman on the right side with hair soo pretty it looked fake!

The process that created that hair was called a silk press.

Something I’ve never heard of that God wanted me to be aware of so that I could go get it done for my photo shoot.

And… I did!

Holy Hair Indeed! My hair MADE my shoot. It made me feel like Veronica Lake (I just dated myself!)

Would you do such a crazy thing, if intuition prompted you? I’m soo glad I did. Thank you again for all the heart warming, smile giving stories you’ve shared with me this month! I hope you feel closer to me, like I do to you.

P.S. Birthday Month! My husband’s birthday is July 3rd and I am the 6th. We are heading off to Melbourne for the week for a little vacation. I am sad because here, my birthday is in the HEART of Winter! It’ll be cold. We’ll see how I go!
