First of all, I would like to apologize for my month long hiatus. I am deeply sorry to all of my readers (if you're still there) LOL.
I left off right after we had a fire in my apartment building. Now we are in the process of moving again and I am embarking on another "Job Journey". Idk if you remember but, after recovering from my ankle injury I started working with Jackie A.K.A. SoulTress. Unfortunately, it did not work out, mainly due to the fact that the position doesn't really pay enough. It was a great learning experience which I will post about in the very near future.
But lets get back to the topic at hand! Weave!
I have never really been into fake hair. I have had braids and other extensions before but bc I have always had long, thick hair the need for extensions was almost completely non-existent.
Just a 6 months ago I did a 2nd big chop! It has been coming along, but I was inspired by a Naturalista on Instagram (@ iikandii88 ) to try extensions as a way to protective style my hair while working out. So I went to my homey L'Orealle ( @ osospunktaneous )and got an amazing sew-in done! Have a look see!
The look was great! I loved it for the first 3-4 days! Then it began to itch like CRAZY! and then I realized that I cannot do it! I wanted to scratch my head all the time! I wanted to pull it out and wash my 'fro like a mad woman. BUT! The only reason I left it in for 3 1/2 weeks was bc I paid $100 to get it sewn in and the hair was $85 on sale! But once I got it out it felt like heaven and my scalp was very sore from all the scratching and my face broke out from the hair too :( Needless-to-say, the weave life is not for me!
What do you think?
Do you use extensions for protective styling? Comments below
