My girlfriend wanted me to go with her to a workshop about how to be your natural self. The workshop was to take place at a hotel in New York City. I was reluctant to go, since this all sounded really boring to me. I just did not feel like being told how to be my natural self. I think I have lived long that I am my natural self. But anyhow, I went, and had a very information time. The part of the workshop concerning hair and makeup was very interesting. There was a session on African American hair loss, which I found intriguing, since I had no clue about some of the things that can be done to hair, and how the consequences can have long term and something irreversible damaging effects. Who would think that wearing braids in your hair could cause you grief if you put them in too tight, or wear them too long, or simply put them in incorrectly, and have them come out – a braid at a time – at the most utterly inopportune time. the part of the workshop that showed how to enhance any hair with extensions was interesting also. I guess being natural does not have to be dull.
