On painful beauty

I spent the the day yesterday plaiting my hair. The objective wasn't so much to look beautiful as it was to take a break from combing my natural kinks (which i think God did not make for combing). I tried to make it as comfortable as possible for myself by asking the lady to come home. To distract myself from the pain i watched dollhouse the whole time but still it hurt. I am finished plaiting my hair now  but i know sleeping will not be an easy feat. Every time i do this i tell myself its the last time, i guess its what every mother of four said about each baby right after pushing it. 

justin bieberish ..maybe 



rock star huh





one with the five head

And so i gotta ask. How far in terms of pain would you go to look good? Any memorable experiences. do share. 
Happy Easter

the hair looks good though. I spent my entire saturday unlocking my dreadlocks and getting a new hair-do. My head still hurts :(
beauty is pain though.

If the shoes fits it's probably ugly...Coco Chanel.
I guess that means to be pretty we must bear some pain; tweezing/threading eyebrows, braiding hair, body piercing, high heels, relaxers burns....and the list goes on and on...

LOL!! It looks great! Worth the pain. I like to braid cause it's such a hassle to comb my hair! I never say it's the last time though, but those first nights are killing! lol
