Okay, so I didn't use a heat pass, but boy did that cute *** afro wreak havoc on my strands! It all started as a finger-combed braidout so I could get it redone that night before going out of town. Due to time constraints, I had to wear it like that to work. The response was off the chain! I can't recall getting a response like that ever from a hairdo. I get compliments on various dos but it was like on a whole other level so I wore it for a week. Felt sexy, hot and all that because that is what was being said everywhere. Brothers hardly ever compliment my hair and they were all like, "I like the natural look." Even one dude who a week ago was sweatin' an Asian in my face.
Too much manipulation and I think it caused me to lose length because I saw way too many broken hairs on a daily basis. Besides, two hours a day is too much work and every time I braided my hair for the night and undid it the next morning, more broken hairs.
So, no mo fro for me, even though I had several requests to keep it like that from now on. Can't do it. Cuz (love you, MsPortugal) hooked a sister up with some fierce cornrows this evening! Ones that aren't too tight and will let my bald spot in the middle of my crown and the one to the right of my peacock grow back.
Actually, I will do the finger-combed braidout every two weeks. I can handle that for a day, but just so I can do my dc and other 'treatments' (can a sista find a natural straightener that WORKS for my 4a tresses?!) in preparation for braiding it back up.
Come on Boundless Tresses (began today) let's increase my half inch to an inch so I can have bsl (okay, top of) by my birthday at the end of summer!
HHG ladies!
