LETTING MY AUNTIE DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS TO MY HAIR - MALEKA NATURALS MAKEOVER

I invited my Auntie over to my new place and gave her full control over my hair - I didn't know what to expect but I knew shed look after me and my hair. watch as we chat, laugh and I try to awkwardly ease her into the vlogging life and see the process of the new look for November.
this was a huge step for me, im not good with change at all, ive had noting done to my hair since my hair cut after the psych ward because the meds ruined my hair and skin.
this also happened to be the one time nostalgia didn't leave me in an awful depressive state.
Having braids will allow me to manage my hair while the cold weather negatively impacts my disabilities, my hair won't end up in a massive knot of tugs when my depression, complex post traumatic stress disorder and mental health plummet... I also can't pick at my scalp compulsively with braids in because the feel of the braids and partings make me aware of where my hand is and what im doing... what's even better is Auntie says it will help protect my hair against the cold winter and help it grow, but most importantly of all I loved spending time and bonding with my Auntie- her laugh and smile will make you smile a lot, she is such a genuine joy. im so glad the Lord brought us together, she is blessed and she is a blessing.

Your hair looks great, and it was so lovely to see the care and affection you share for each other

Hey again violet! Nice to hear from you again. Thank you for these kind words. I always feel like I’m so awkward around people so it’s nice to hear that my care of them still comes through despite my awkwardness lol. I was so sad when I had to take the braids out yesterday, it felt like she was leaving my home when I took them out, not 2 weeks ago when my fiancé drove her home after doing my hair. She told me not to be sad because she will do it again for me soon. They made life so much easier for those 2 weeks though and the weight of the extensions felt so calming and grounding- I’ve decided to keep my hair like that the majority of the time.
Hope you’re well!
