Post Weave!

I've been wearing a weave for the last year and three months. On March 5, 2009... I had it taken out!!! WOW! What a difference, I hardly recognized myself! I love it! Before my first weave, I had already been through constantly over processing my hair. I thought I knew everything about styling which I didn't, but what I knew even less about was how to really take care of my hair. For instance, I thought that flat ironing daily was ok as long as my hair look fresh and coiffed. WRONG!!! BIG NO NO!!! Even when my stylist told me I needed to get my hair cut very short to get it healthy, I still hadn't learned. I went though several years of not listening, I just didn't get it. Fortunately, after awhile I started taking better care of my hair so it was actually in pretty good condition when my first weave was put in (12/23/2007). It was probably around a good 6 to 7 inches overall. Now it has grown to be roughly about 12 to 13 inches long!!!!!! I'm so proud of it and myself! YAY me! I've really invested and practiced discipline. I plan to continue to do so!!! I was thinking of getting to know my real hair again for for a couple months. Just like with skin care and make up, you have to observe your personal situation and then practice with products and different techniques in moderation. It takes applying a lot of common sense and YOU WILL see a difference as you gain more experience and grow more comfortable. Till next time NB xox
