At 19 weeks post relaxer I decided
to change up my hairstyle, I went for mini twists they were lovely but there
are two things I didn´t like.
The first one was that my hair looked very flat
with no volume whatsoever, I wasn´t used to that because I always have enough
volume with my hair open.
The second thing which I did not like was the fact
that anytime I unraveled a twist to tighten it up it was always so tangled that
I ended up losing some hair, it looked as though the hair was locked together.
This scared me and I thought it would even get worse if I washed my hair in the
twists.
So I unraveled the mini twists and just as I had suspected my hair was
a tangled mess but I am glad I unraveled them when I did. I ended up wearing a
twist out for a day and I thought it looked better that way.
Unfortunately I did end up losing a
lot of hair on wash day. From now on I will not be trying any more new
hairstyles. I am sticking to my buns which are always very easy to do but also
protect my hair very well. This just reminds us not to fix what isn´t broken,
if you have a hair regimen that works for you, don´t change it because it might
lead to a setback.
