Yes, I’ve been away

Sorry for the lack of posting. I could say that this was because I was on break, but I really was in a funk with my hair. For some reason I couldn’t figure out how to do my hair the way I wanted. 

Firstly, I’m never doing mini twists again. I realize that I hate long-term protective styles (long-term being more than a week). Also, taking down the twists and detangling was too much work. I think I only kept the twists in for 1.5 weeks, so it totally wasn’t worth it.

Secondly, I experimented with cowashing every day and letting my hair air dry, but I hated it. When I went to sleep, my hair would get smushed and tangled and horrible and the morning cowash/detangling session took too long. It was just too much to deal with.

Now I’ve found that I should just stick to what I was doing during the summer. That is putting my hair in twists right after I wash, letting them dry in twists, and then styling on stretched hair. For some reason I guess I just wanted to try something new. Now I know to just stick to old faithful.

Sorry for the long text post, but I just wanted to give you guys an update and explain my absence! Thanks for following me!

I’ve realized that large bantu knot outs are my friend :)
