Rooted Wednesdays Vol. 2 Growth looks like this too

Whats On My Hair

This week, I’ve been paying attention to how I’m touching my hair, not just what I’m putting on it.

Noticing where I tense up.
Where I rush.
Where I expect it to behave instead of listening.

This week has been about slowing my hands down—working in smaller sections, using more water, and giving my hair time to respond before moving on to the next step.

Instead of trying to “fix” anything.
Fewer products.
Less manipulation.
More pauses and gratitude.

Whats On My Heart

I think we will forever be in the space between unlearning and relearning.

I’m realizing there isn’t a final version of myself I’m meant to arrive at. There are versions of me I meet along the way. Some I fall in love with, some I outgrow, some I resist before realizing they’re asking for compassion, not correction.

What I’m learning is that growth requires honesty.
A willingness to look in the mirror long enough to decide whether this version gets to keep walking with me or needs to be grieved.

Because not every version of you is meant to stay.
But every version deserves to be seen.

What would change if you trusted the in-between as part of the journey, not a delay?

From My Wash Day to Yours,

Jasmine
