2. Be confident about your hair
This is easier said than done, and might be the very issue in the first place. Confidence gives you comfort, and it tells the person you are OK with who you are, and how you look (including your natural hair).
To build confidence, you have to get comfortable with your natural hair; how it looks; how it behaves, and what looks make you feel your best. Try a variety of styles – do not just wear a bun or a twist out. Styling your hair helps you to get comfortable with it, and will lead to confidence in how your hair looks.
3. Prepare yourself for a negative reaction
Hey, it might happen, so you might as well know what to do when it does. If he doesn’t like your hair, then maybe he isn’t the guy for you – it’s that simple.
Guys can get tricky though, because they will play nice for a while, and you won’t know how they really feel until you have invested a ton of time. You probably won’t know how he feels on that blind date either, so if you decide to see him again, know the signs. Although they might think they are slick, they aren’t – you will get a clue early on.
4. Take care of your hair
Natural hair is a part of your appearance, so take care of it. If you treat it like crap, it will start to look like crap – and that does nothing for hair anxiety.
Make sure your hair is healthy: get trims, deep condition, and protect your ends. These things naturally get rid of anxious feelings. If you don’t believe me, just try it!
5. Maybe it isn’t your hair
Sometimes we try to off load deeper issues on things that have nothing to do with the true problem. Maybe you feel anxious because you recently gained weight. Like all women feel, nothing looks right after that, and dating might get difficult -especially blind ones.
If you can identify the issue, then target the issue and see if you feel better about your hair after you have started working on your other stuff.
6. Exercise
Exercise can cure a bunch of stuff including anxiety because it gets your good juices flowing, and adds to your overall health. Don’t skip the workouts, especially before a date.
When you feel right you can pretty much knock him dead, regardless of what your natural hair is doing that night. We all know our hair won’t cooperate when we need it to anyway, but when you feel good, nothing can steal that joy.
Well that’s it. Have you ever been on a blind date, and was your hair an issue? Do dish out below!
