So over the last few weeks I've been reading tons of wash day posts (which are my favorite types posts by the way!) and each time I read about someone's wash day it makes me miss the heck outta my hair! The oddest part about all of this is I decided to get a temporary long term protective style to give myself and my hair a break from each other and now of course I'm missing my hair like crazy. I'm seriously counting down the days until I take my Senegalese twist install down. I'm planning to remove my braid install on the weekend of November 16th and since my hair is thriving and moisturized I will stick with that plan. For now I'm living vicariously through every wash day post and lovingly feeling my super soft and moisturized new growth to help deal with my slight case of seperation anxiety. On another note the next part of my Braid regimen series (Totally Twisted Part 2) will be up this weekend. Stay tuned!
That's my biggest fear with long term protective styles! I just know that I'd miss my hair, take down early, then feel like I wasted money. Smh. Nonetheless, your twists are amazeballs, so I'm living my LTP dreams through you!

And that's exactly why I refuse to take my hair down early! I paid for an 8 week hair style and darn it I'm going to rock it...even though I'm missing my hair like crazy. Thanks for the compliment :D
DeleteI'm so not a braids girl, but I prefer weaves instead. Don't worry as long as you keep your hair moisturized like you said, your hair will thank you later. You are definitely saving 2-3 hours on your wash day to do other stuff
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. I must admit even though I miss my hair I've been enjoying the low maintenance that comes with rocking a long term protective style!
DeleteLOL, girl I feel the same but the money I spent have me holding out.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is exactly why I'm still rocking my braids! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't counting down the days until it's time to remove my install though!
