There are many remarkable days in my life. But as requested, I will let the world of steemians know of 2 remarkable days in my life.

Before I proceed, I must say thanks to @steemalive community for this mind-blowing contest. It's a reminder of good and tragedic events in ones life.

My worst day

Am the type that is in deep love with natural hair. I pampers my hair as if it's my husband. Even if am angry or provoked, once I looked at my hair, I will totally forget my agony and the next thing that will come my way is nothing but happiness and laughter.

If am traveling or wants to attend an occasion, I won't bother about the type of hair I will make or the type of weavon I will fix. infact, I made lots of savings then. But, unfortunately, 2017 changed my dream and turned everything upsidedown.

How I lost my hair

Back then, I have a long processed hair and can pack any style I desired. Back then, I do apply hair relaxer and the product I used is "Ozone relaxer". But, at a point, one can't find original ozone product anymore here in my city Aba. Everywhere was filled with adulterated. Inview of that, I was advised to switchover to another product known as Olive. It's a foreign product. But, my real customer I do purchase hair products deceived me. He disencouraged me from purchasing the product and introduced another product to me. He said, my dear, take this relaxer, it will give you what you need instead of olive relaxer.

we all know that olive relaxer is costly. The man have it in his shop but insisted I use the product he recommended. After buying, the next day, I applied it and within a twinkle of an eye, I lost all my front hair. The name of the relaxer is Shea butter relaxer. Worse yet, ever since then, the front hair finds it too difficult to regrow. My dear friends, that was how I lost my happiness, joy, pride and laughter within seconds. Lastly, we realized that the relaxer is raw. But, not only that I lost my hair, it burnt my skull. Too bad.

what did you get wrong/right on that day?

I went to market in hunt of a product but allowed myself to be deceived by a mere man who never for once in his life applied relaxer on his hair. How on earth do I believe that he will know the best! Till today, am crying bitterly. Because of the issue, I turned my hair into unprocessed and yet, the stunt growth is too bad just as the picture above indicates.

lessons from my worse day experience

I have learn never to trust the voice of a stranger in my life. Yes, I have learn to scrutinize matters before believing.

My best day

Am the type that values gifts and once received, I cherishes it so much. when I came to know this platform in the year 2016, I ignored it. But, in the year 2020, I joined. I heard that I can make money through it once am consistent.

I posted and posted and kept posting. But, all am seeing is small small votes from booming. Surprisingly, if I look at other people's post, I do see $50,40, 30 and even more. So I asked to know why. I was told that there is a special visitor in this platform known as steemcurator01, once it visit my page, it will turn my smiling into laughter. Therefore, I should pray for his visit. But, that consistency is the game.

So, I kept on posting and engaging in other people's post. Not only that, I remained consistent with steem promotion and other steem related activities.

the good news finally

So one faithful day on October last year, i opened my notifications and saw a write up "steemcurator01 voted on your post". Honestly, I didn't care to see the exact amount. I quickly turned to my posts to see the miracle! look and behold! it's $52 votes. My dear friends, I jumped up and down and mother was amazed at my sudden happiness.

From my perspective, persistence and engagement led to my success. And ever since then, I became more serious with steemit.

lessons from my best day

  • I have learn that persistence is the key to every successful business man or woman
  • I have also learn that it's wise to follow the advice of the experienced ones unlike my worse day experience
  • Patience and calmness is the key.

Chaaaaaiii this is bad. How on earth can someone be telling you to use a product whereas he has not tested it nor have ever used it. I'm so so sorry to hear about what Shea butter product did to your natural hair which made you to go crazy. I can imagine the pains of losing your natural hair, and not more to that, it even burnt your skull living you in pains. It's really terrible 😔. I am so so sorry about this your bad experience dear.

Woow your best day experience is beautiful 😍. I can imagine the joy 😹 after you seeing that larg vote from the Chief curator himself. I too also felt over joyed when I received my first ever vote from him and it was as if I had hit the jackpot that day😹😹😹

How?why? You want yours to perish the way mine perished?

Hi, friend, I'm sorry, a lot about what happened to your hair, sometimes we are victims of deceitful sellers who don't care about the well-being of customers, if not their benefit, I can feel your sadness because I went through similar situations in hairdressers thanks to God, your hair has been restored little by little, I recommend you consume biotin and collagen, they are excellent for hair strengthening..

Wow, you really felt my pains! From your comment, I can feel it. But, the things you recommended, are they drugs or suppliments? I think, I need them.

Hello friend, I'm sorry about your hair, I still don't understand how there are unscrupulous people who sell products just to have an extra income without seeing the damage it causes to other people.
Congratulations for the perseverance and dedication to steemit, you saw the results.

Oh dear friend, thanks for understanding my feelings. It's heartbreaking! To me, it's as if. I lost someone dear to me in death. And anytime I looked at my face in a mirror, it irritates me. What dilemma.

That day I received such a big vote from 01, it's as if I have gotten the whole world. Do you know that I was unable to eat that very day? Hahaha, I forgot that there is something like food again.

Thanks for verifying my post.

Oh no! Is that how you lost your front hair? Sorry about that my sister. Maybe the Man didn't know the relaxer was bad. I think he wanted to use you to taste if the relaxer is good. But unfortunately, everything failed.

Seriously steemcurator01 vote can wake up the dead 😂. It gives Joy and happiness. Consistency is the key my dear, let's keep steeming.

What an ugly experience from the bad source. Ever since then, I never care to patronize him again. He took away my treasure. He broke my heart.

But, the day I received such vote from 01, I forgot to remember the front hair dilemma 😁

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂, Who no like better things. When something good happened to you. Believe me you will not remember bad days. Don't worry, your front hair can still come up. I advice you to make use of Been oil it will help or castor oil

You have experienced the hardest days of your life. That should actually be inside each of us. Because we should never trust other people too easily. He should be trusted after verifying a lot about him. Nice presentation of your post, thank you.

Hahaha, we all are always happy if the 01 visits, but 52$ is much for you to be over joyous, and sooty about your front hair, it happens to most people but I didn't know it was a result of bad relaxers

Dear friend, the vote made me to shout like a baby. Even my mum was scared because of the sudden happiness and laughter.

The story differs base on individual differences. Some, theirs is as a result of abortion they committed or because they gave birth to a baby. Other factors contributes to it.

Oh really, wow thanks for the insight,

But the best is to ask, only if the person if close to you why her hair cuts. Just remembering that hair styles contributes to loss of front hair especially, Ghana weaving

Yeah I think all kinds of weaving will pull your hair

So you're eve aware of that? So, what else do you know that can pull someone's hair from it's follicles. Share your experience with me. Am listening and ready to learn.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am a male fam

Hmm. It is indeed never to trust strangers. Some of them are just wolves in sheep clothing and it is never expected of us to give our total trust to strangers. I'm so sorry that you lost your hair due to the trust you had for that stranger and keyed to his advice. I pray you recover soon.

Wow it is indeed a great news to see that your best day was the day you got a notification that SC 01 voted your post. It was really a wonderful day for you i bet. Continue to keep the vibes on and the sky will be your goal. Goodluck.

It's unfortunate you were deceived by a trader and it cost you your front hair. Sorry about that.

Your hard work on Steemit really paid off.
