Every Time You Say ‘I Got It’ When You Don’t, Your Edges Take a Hit
Share
Let us talk to the strong ones real quick.
The “I got it” girls.
The “I’ll figure it out” girls.
The ones who’ll break down in the bathroom, wipe their face, and walk back out like nothing happened.
Yeah, you.
Listen...
We know you’re used to holding it down.
For your family.
For your business.
For folks who don’t even know how heavy what you’re carrying really is. But I need you to hear this:
Stress don’t just sit in your chest—it shows up in your scalp.
In the thinning spots you keep slicking down.
In that tight feeling on your crown that won’t go away.
In the breakage you’re ignoring because you “don’t have time to deal with it right now.”
Sis… your body been telling you.
Your hair been telling you.
And every time you lie to yourself and say, “I got it,” when you really don’t, your edges roll their little eyes and whisper, “Whew, here she go again.”
This ain’t shade. It’s love.
Because we’ve been her too.
Trying to be everything and wondering why your hairline is looking like it’s packing its bags. Here’s the truth:
You need rest.
You need water.
You need oil.
You need boundaries.
And you need people who don’t drain you dry.
GYEB Growth Oil can help you. Yes.
So can low-manipulation styles.
So can scalp massages.
But if your spirit is in survival mode 24/7?
That oil is just out here fighting for its life.
So here’s your challenge this week:
- Tell somebody “no” without explaining.
- Say “I’m not okay” if you’re not okay.
- Take 10 minutes to moisturize your scalp while you sit in silence.
- Put your bonnet on before midnight.
Protect your peace like you protect your purse, sis.
Because your hair—especially them fragile little edges—ain’t built to carry the weight of the world.
Let the oil do its job.
Let the Leave-In soak in.
Let you be soft too.
