Imposter syndrome can be defined as feelings or thoughts that you are incompetent or not to go there enough or not deserving of a particular thing or work you have done.
Sharing my experience on a baker and the hair stylist.
But I want to talk about the most recent of them all so I never learned how to make hair . But but as nature would have it ,I make hair perfectly but there are some styles that I'm not really perfect at I get scared when I am called on to make some styles because I know that I'm not a good at this particular style or I've not tried it before.
So it happened that my boss at work got to know that I make hair because I made my own hair by myself, and she asks that she wants to make her hair she is specifically said she wanted to make boohoo braids and I agreed so when I went through the pictures and I saw the hair I was like baby girl can you really do this I didn't want to show that I was scared or anything I just looked at the picture a couple of times and told myself I can do it still feeling things about feelings.
So on the day that the hair was supposed to be made it all started with getting the wrong color of attachment they were like three different colors and the curls was another color at that point I'm like god please let this thing turn out well.
Fast forward to starting the hair we started the hair the lady had the big scalp and her hair was full so it literally took me the whole day.
And I think we're making the hair it was turning out well he was looking good it was looking like the picture I was still praying that she was going to like it tried my best to make it to be a very neat organized fine and make sure that the coils were bouncing so at the end of the day we finish the hair and when I saw this smile on her face I was satisfied but at that point I'm like am I really deserving of all this priest that this lady is giving not knowing how I had to battle with doubt of me not being able to make the hair well and get exactly what she wanted.
This t is one of the occasions that I would say I had imposter syndrome I didn't really believe in myself that I would achieve that and when I did I still doubted easily you for somebody I didn't undergo any professional training I was happy I achieved it at the end and overcame my doubt.
