Hair Crush rules

This is Tracee Ellis Ross if you didn't already know. I have loved her hair ever since I  saw her on the show girlfriends. When I first started my natural hair journey I just knew my hair was going to be like hers. I would watch YouTube videos with girls who had hair like her, big loose bouncy curls. I would get very frustrated when my hair didn't turn out like theirs and I would end up just hating my hair.

If your not careful you can get very discouraged in your natural hair journey obsessing over why your hair isn't like someone on YouTube or on a popular blog. So here are a few tips I like to call Hair Crush Rules for you to follow so everyone will be happy nappies :)

1.DON'T crush over someone who doesn't have the same hair type as you. It is just a waste of time. You can admire that persons hair but don't say to yourself I wish my hair was like hers. Find a person with your hair type or as close of a match that you can find.

2. Find out how long your hair crush has been natural and be patient! If your crush has been natural for like 7 years or all her life and you only have been natural for 2 you just won't have hair like her for a while. Even though it sucks you have to be patient. When you hit multiple years of being natural your hair will rock and you will probably be a crush too.

3. Be realistic! If your crush is vegan works out every day and drinks veggies and you love meat don't work out at all and hate water then honey it will take you a while to get her length. Some people are very dedicated to growing out their hair, if you aren't as dedicate then your growth rate won't be as fast as theirs, your hair will still grow just not as fast.

4. LOVE THE HAIR THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR SCALP! Be your own hair crush. The best thing a natural can have is confidence. A person can look completely different when they feel like they got it going on. If you aren't comfortable with your hair obsessing over a hair crush won't make it any better.

This is my new hair crush Tabitha. I found her on blackgirllonghair.com in the 3C section. This is more realistic for me because she has a very similar curl

pattern and when I reach my 7 year mark like her I hope my hair is just as

fab as hers if not more. I still love Tracee's hair but I know that my hair

will never be like hers and I'm ok with that.

So take my rules and go happy hair crushing :)
