Hi,
welcome!
My
name is Fulufhelo, it means hope.
I
started this blog to document the things I love and am passionate about the
most. That is, and I hope I don’t come
off as shallow for the first one, my hair! My natural hair and travel.
I
haven’t always been natural. My journey started from a mishap a few years ago
when I burned my scalp to zits with a relaxer.
I
had to cut off all my hair as a result, and given that I was in my final year
of high school and had to go to matric dance at the end of the year, I wasn’t
particularly having the time of my life.
But little did I know that in a few months
this would turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to me — as far as
hair is concerned.
I discovered a community of girls like me who
were upon the same journey of embracing their natural hair. Some (mostly on
YouTube and Instagram) were killing it and growing hair that was admired by all
who saw… and well for some (the rest of us) it was mostly an endless pool of
frustrations and failed wash n gos.
Upon
experiencing most of that frustration, I decided to document my experience and
share my lessons. Because though I might fail a couple of times, I do get those
moments of glory, and when I do, it’s worth sharing.
The
second thing is travel. The bucket list section of this blog is made to
document anything I aspire to do. These will be updated once they have been
fulfilled.
I’d like to invite you to share your
aspirations as well. What places do you want to visit? Where have you been? What did you do and how
did it feel? Believe me, I'm always in the mood for a good travel story.
By the way...
If
you thought the name Perfect-ish was inspired by the ABC show Black-ish, you
are completely right. I started this blog around the same time when Black-ish
was gaining traction. And to be honest, the reason I started to watch it was
because of the name. So when it came to naming my blog, nothing felt as fitting
as Perfect-ish. Mostly because it accurately depicts my appreciation of life as
it is.
Thank
you so much for checking me out. If you’d like to work with me, find out how
