For those who know me, my hair is on the long relaxed side. Whole life, had a head full of hair. Therefore I'm so lazy with my hair that I don't care whether I get caught in the rain or anywhere else! :-) I never hot curl it outside of when I hit the salon, although I will roll it every now and again. Most often, I wear it in a (messy) ponytail or bun, 'less I go somewhere special
. I sleep on a satin pillow case with generous use of jojoba oils and deep conditioning and trims/cuts at the salon (whenever I manage to stumble there)--that's about it for the maintenance routine. When I change jobs one day, however, and work near my hair stylist (and best friend), then I will probably cut it short. Both my mother and grandmother cut all that fried and dyed...well, maybe not always the dyed
mess out and both wear theirs in a short natural.
Frankly, I love the loc'ed, knotted, twisted, micro-braids looks on folks. For relaxed hair, I like to see soft, moveable, healthy hair & styles. I'm a simple gal, so I'm not into the fancy and fantasy styles, nor the old school "hard press" and "hard curled" looks--a wet set is cool, because it's healthy for relaxed hair.
As I stated in another post, I'm heading to Nassau in May, and will either get braids (tender-headed though) or tie "all that hair" in a bun with the "extra curly #2"
on top of my head. I WILL NOT be concerned about my hair with all the swimming and beach hopping I plan on doing!
LOL@ Sweet Deliverance: Soror-girl, I love highlights too! I put some dk. blonde in my hair back in the day—loved the look, but it took two years to grow out of my hair completely! If I ever did that again, I’d put highlighted pieces in it—then I could take it out when it got tiresome.
