Last Wild and Free

This morning I woke up feeling good. I showered and washed my hair. I was going to do the 'tightly curly' method but since I had just taken out small twists, my curls were already defined enough. The tightly curly method is simply putting a light conditioner on your hair in sections and using your fingertips to separate and define the natural curls. My hair is naturally very curly so I usually end up just smoothing with my fingers.

This is my hair soaked straight from the shower, rinsed free of shampoo and condition/honey.

I took sections of my hair and applied a light conditioner.

Then I blew dry my hair, stretching it out at the roots to preserve some of the length

There was still quite a bit of shrinkage but that's okay. The entire process took maybe 20 minutes.

The end result after getting ready for work.

shrinkage!

Now, some interesting quotes.

"The words, SPIN, SPIRAL, and SPIRITUAL have common roots! The Supreme Power spins; spirals; it is spiritual. It moves or spirals the universe! The entire universe dances in spirals and rotations; everything in it reflects the “SPIRaling, SPIRitual” essence out of which it is made! The “SPIRal,” especially the Golden Spiral, is simultaneously the most profound motion and design in the universe -built into all life forms, from seashelss to man, to spiraling nappy hair! Your blood spirals through your veins! Plants spiral up from the soil! And nappy hair spirals out from the hair roots! Ball your hand into a fist and slowly extend each finger."

"Hair is a really antenna that can receive and transmit energy! A Rastafarian explains that dreadlocks are a quality of Black people; they “are high-tension wires,” which transmits divine energy and inspiration from Jah [God], the creator, to Rasta, the mirror.” (Nicholas/Sparrow: Rastafarian -A Way of Life) As Blacks awaken to true self-knowledge and self-acceptance this brings, the negative racist conditioning with respect to their natural spiraling, nappy hair as “bad” and straighter hair as “good” will cease!"
