*taking care of itchy scalp for 2022 hair journey*
You don't wanna compare your hair to that friend of yours, sister of yours or even that of your mum
You know, everyone has a unique hair, a unique curl pattern peculiar to you and your hair alone.
So all you have to do is know your hair type and then all the things that comes with it.
Comparing your hair might just shift your focus from taking care of your hair and that won't aid your hair growth at all๐ฅบ๐ฅบ
So sister, appreciate your hair, accept it and take care of it.
Whether it's natural or relaxed, you have the responsibility of taking care of your hair and rocking it!๐คธ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐คธ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐คธ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Now here's a twist, you can actually have some hair influencers you can follow, whose hair you admire and all. Those whose hair growth and hair health spurs you to take care of yours and achieve your own hair goals.
You can practice that but don't get so absorbed into it that you don't get to take care of yours๐๐๐
It's your crown, so nurture it and wear it well๐คธ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐คธ๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐คธ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
