I work from home full time and lately I have been struggling to maintain my natural hair. Before I was working from home, maintaining and styling my hair was a daily routine, as I had to go to work, plus my hair was much shorter. I started my natural hair growth journey in 2013.
Now my hair goes for days without being combed. About a few weeks ago I tried something different. I would wet my hair, apply some moisturuzer and pull my hair in one and leaving the ends exposed. But on the day I decided it comb out my hair it was a little difficult to comb out even after wetting my hair a bit.
I don't like installing braid extentions and weaves into my hair. Presently it is my intention to get one of those brush straighteners. I am very excited to try this product out. If that doesn't go well which I think it will based on the videos I have seen reviewing the product.
However my plan B is to apply a mild texterizer to my hair. I did this before and my hair looked lovely it was not straight my curls were just slightly stretched.
If you are thinking about growing your natural, first ask yourself why you want to do it. Maintaining the natural hair is not as easy as it looks. There is a lot of preparation involved. Its not like you could just pull back your hair in one and go about your business if you have to go to a casual event. For me most times, as long as I know in advance that I have an event to attend, I like to style my hair the day before. Style in the sense that I will wash my hair, divide in sections, moisturize and twist.
Most times if my husband says let's go for a drive, my hair is not in an attractive style to go out the house because sometimes I may have my hair in mini twists and I don't really like how it looks when I go out. Untwisting them takes a little time and my husband is very impatient.
Then the other side of that scenario is when I return home, I have to twist my hair again, which most times I don't do.
