2nd Lieutenant Mom

Praise the Lord! Over the last few years, it has come to my attention that there is a lot more awareness and support for ladies transitioning and encouraging the curliness of their daughter's hair. When I first began my hair journey, I found very little to keep me encouraged. Now, I have found so many blogs and websites, I can't follow them All and they are all great! So I began to wonder, if I am so excited about hair and so many others are excited about hair, is this love something God given that over the years we have allowed society to suppress? I distinctly remember my days of relaxers where my goal in life was to spend as little time on my hair as possible, the ponytail was my staple hairstyle even in elementary school (with the exception of picture day, of course). It was "cool" to be fed up with your own hair and insist on only having it styled at a salon. A brief study of the Bible has already shown me that those feelings of being "fed up" are soci...

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Praise the Lord! Here is my next introductory feature for Her Hair, His Glory! My little Ladies and their beautiful glory! I get a lot of my style ideas from two other blogs, KJBraids.blogspot.com and BeadsBraidsandbeyond.blogspot.com . Either I do some kind of variation or just get inspiration from them. My daughters, ages 3 and 5, are very excited about their curly hair. Which makes mom utterly thrilled. My goal is to instill this love in them now, so that they will not have the internal struggle that I had growing up. In general, I have no product of choice, which I hate by the way ! I am using what I have and evaluating the lasting effects on the styles i do for my girls. As a routine: 1) We generally wash hair every 7-10 days , sometimes more often depending on circumstances 2) Deep conditioning every two or three weeks, it's something fun we do tog...

Praise the Lord ! I have been praying for a long time about how to incorporate my passion and revelation about my hair with this blog, so God , in only His infinite wisdom, gave me this idea. I will have a feature segment called "Her Hair, His Glory". This section with document my personal testimony along with things I have learned and what I am currently doing with my hair and my children's hair. For those who don't know my little story. I am a long time transitioner. I got my first relaxer as a teenager. However, I liked wearing my hair curly, so I fought for those next few years with rollersets to keep a curl in my hair... Never questioning that if I like it curly why am I straightening it? During my 1st year of college, straight hair maintenance was very expensive. So I didn't do it often at all. Maybe twice a year. I had tried to give myself relaxers, but I had a childhood friend whose hair literally fell out after doing one at home.... so that was not an opt...
