    How I ended up getting color for my braids for the first time

Transcript

I get to Volley. My braiders like, babe, we don't actually have black. I was like, no. That's so crazy. Because that's actually the only color I ever best. It's pretty much jet black because that's the color of my natural hair. She's like, no. We're out. Mind you, I am hosting a women's retreat in Thailand next week. I wanna feel my best. I want my braids. I also want it to be manageable because we have an itinerary every single day. I don't have time to do my hair. Okay. She's like, we don't have it. We're not gonna get it in time. I'm like, okay. She's like, you're gonna have to pick from these colors. Mind you, I have never done anything but my natural color with braids. And I cannot believe that I have been missing out this whole time. The way that I was panicking in that seat picking the colors and trying to match them better, also keeping in mind that my hair is dark rank I didn't know how it was gonna blend. I did have a panic attack. I did have to call my friends. But we did this masterpiece and I'm that would go on.
