Took me some time to accept you Took me some time to appreciate you But my whole entire existence is surrounded by you I get out the shower Curls wet Step #1. Take an old, raggedy *** t-shirt or a microfiber towel and damp the curls semi-dry Step #2. Take a detangle brush, start from the ends of your hair and comb up to the roots of your hair Took me some time to learn you, how to care for you Step #3. Take a small comb and part your hair down the middle, which will expose your scalp Step #4. Take some oil and oil the curls, massage the oil into your scalp I was once told you’re all I got, got a pretty face but with you, I’m on top of the list Strangers telling me not to cut you off You make me different, worth loving Step #5. Take some hair moose and comb it through your hair Step #6. Take some hair honey or some leave in conditioner and comb that through, too Step #7. Then, take some hair gel and scrunch it up in your hair so it can make the curls pop I question, if I ever leave you, would I still be desirable? Would I be worth every compliment I was ever given, even as a child? Step #8. Take the old t-shirt and scrunch the ends of the curls and from there, you can air dry or use a diffuser How come I take care of you but you don’t take care of me? Repeating affirmations on how much I love you Women comb their fingers through you, wishing they had you Men telling me I’m attractive, all while staring you up and down, with a slick smile on their face Took me some time to know that you are not me Still have time to understand that I don’t need you Careful with my words cause the universe likes to prove people wrong but how come my existence is revolved around you? How come I understood self-love through you, even though you never taught me how to love myself without you?

CURLY HAIR ROUTINE
