I’ve been wanting to braid my hair for a while now but lawwwwwd does it take forever to do. I think I’m on the 4th day and I’ve finally done all the parting. That. Was. A. Fkn. Journey. Indeed, preparing the set up; I need hydrating gel (jam?), handheld mirror, my almost done cream of nature moisturizer, my almost done biosilk leave-in spray, a comb, another comb - but smaller, a rat tail comb, a bed sheet to gather all the fallen hair, my phone with a podcast ready to go, oh, and some elastics and pins. Now that I have everything, it’s just a matter of pressing play, looking up at myself in the handheld mirror facing my bathroom mirror. Is the line straight? Lemme try to fix it. Shit. I took too much hair. Ugh. Over and over and over again. I WISH I COULD PRESS DELETE.
