Keep It Straight

Hmm how do I put this. The itching!!   I think I must like punishment. Why else would I buy (again) a weave that has issues? Then again maybe all weave has issues... just like hair has issues. So then my job is to find the best weave with the least issues...

I took my weave out!! *dancing in joy* It actually wasn't that bad. I was diligent in getting my scalp and braids moisturised. I tried at least once a week to put in some hair trigger on the scalp and in the braids using my handy root's only bottle. I love love love roots only and will be buying a whole bunch as stocking stuffers for the women in my family. I think I neglected my leave out a little bit. I wasn't as consistent with the moisturise and seal routine as I could have been. And I think the ends broke off a little. (and I got a little dandruff along the part between braided hair and left out hair *pout*). Plus it was WINTER!! My hair does not appreciate the dry or the wind but I found a solution!!! Satin lined hats. I jerry-rigged that cap I have now but I've managed to convince a friend (who knits. Yeah!) to make me a nice new one so I'll be rocking that soon.  Like this.

The temperature has finally dropped in my part of the states. It was pretty dramatic too. One day it was 23 degrees, the next day it was 9 degrees. So I decided to try the "protection round" of my hair regimen. THE WEAVE! I got on the interwebs and started exploring the world of the online weave. Let me tell you!!! So much information! So many options! So much money that could be spent!! A lot of money can be made off the weave industry. There are these things called closures that can go up to $200!!!! WTF?!
