Kim’s advice

Give up control. What can we really control, anyway?

Hair: Sure, I can use globs of gel, but if my hair wants to misbehave, I just throw on a hat, go on and enjoy the day.

Life: When things don’t go your way, accept what you can and get creative to find another way to deal with the situation.

Be gentle.

Hair: If you are rough with your hair, it will break and tear. Treat you hair like a fine piece of silk. Note to self: Go and buy a fine piece of silk.

Life: Same thing: Go easy on yourself—use compassion and self-love. You are a one-of-a-kind masterpiece!

Be patient—growth takes time.

Hair: If you just wait and take great care of your hair, it will grow up to 1/2 inch each month.

Life: If you nurture yourself and work at it, you, too, will grow and flourish immeasurably.

Seek your community.

Hair: Ask for help. Find folks who will embrace you and give you advice on your journey. Check out You Tube. I did.

Life: Find a community of like-minded individuals or choose a mentor who has been there and done that—and listen.

Sometimes you get haters and naysayers.

Hair: Ignore them, or tell them to back up off your scalp!

Life: Ignore them or do like I do and stay up late at night debating mean Twitter followers and nasty bloggers. Trust me—it’s really a colossal WASTE of time and energy!!!

When in doubt, lubricate.

Hair: Keep your scalp clean and your hair well moisturized.

Life: Hey, do what you can in all areas to keep things s m o o t h!

Celebrate!

Hair: Your hair is your crowning glory and a part of you. No matter what it looks like, show the world what you are working with!

Life: Sometimes I know what I’m doing and sometimes I don’t. I only have control over how I choose to respond to things. I can choose happiness and joy every day. I invite you to do the same.

If you have any hair or life tips to share, post them here. I am ready and willing to learn!

Love and Laughter,
