I just had a wash day after 9 long days because I forgot I got my hair straightened on 7/31 Now I want braids
I'm just gonna be wanting them though. My average is about 1-2 days before I'm taking something down. Idk if I'm sick of weave and extensions, tired of doing them, or it's the wrong season. I said the last time I was gonna wait until the fall to try it again, but I honestly don't know if I will.
It's probably all 3 of your reasons why you wont allow those style to stay in.
One day you'll enjoy keeping those styles in again.
I'm practically the same if not worse. I make it to finishing half of my head in braids and then I can't do anymore. I usually walk around for a week in a high ponytail with thick headbands. The take down is just as devastating. lol
I recently thought about why I'm not motivated to complete any style besides the wash n go. It dawned on me that in the past my hair would look busted if I left my hair curly/coily. To look decent, I HAD to do weaves, extensions, twist-outs or straighten my hair. I never knew how much effort and work it took to do those styles when doing them were not optional. I also wasn't willing to pay anybody else to do them because of how often I wore those styles.
Last week, I tried to straighten my hair. I don't know what possessed me to try my hand at using a round brush for the first time in 7 years. My muscle memory has been long gone. I quit after completing 1/6th of my head. I don't feel like learning this stuff again at the moment. Next time, I'm just going to pay somebody.
