In the last few months I've had three very different hairstyles. I had my natural hair for a while and kept it for much longer than intended due to budgetary constraints. Having spent a couple of months with my shoulder length at a push afro I decided to make sure that the update was noticeably different so I went full pink hombre waist length mermaid braids.

If you know me online then you'll probably know that I post a random selection of content on different platforms from time to time and that most of that content gets a minimal response.
