I got my hair straightened over the weekend. My hair was duurrtay! and I didn't have time to wash and style it myself. The hubby and I didn't want to waste a second of our two day weekend together, so I headed to a shop to get it done.
Here's what it looked like:
But oh Lord, did that woman burn my head. I mean she got my scalp a COUPLE of times. I hope there was no permanent damage and I'll be interested to see if my roots coil up anymore. I have a sneaking suspicion I won't have to worry about my new growth trying to lock anymore. OMG! She was still trying to "work it out" when I told her, "It's straight enough."
It wasn't all bad though. She washed and detangled my hair like a champ. Unlike another shop I went to, she did not charge extra for deep conditioning and she did everything: washed, detangled and styled. I didn't have three different people in my head.
If I ever run into another situation where I don't have the time to tackle my hair, I will return to her for a BLOW OUT. She shall not come close to my head with any other heat tool again. She was also very nice and accommodating, so I don't want to totally diss her.
My hair was a bit longer than a I expected. When I go visit my Mom in Chicago in the coming months, I'll probably get about two inches cut off. Don't get me wrong, I love length, but I'm trying to grow out a relaxer here. I can't keep holding onto those ends. Detangling is a beast!
I've come to the end of the roller setting challenge and I'm a bit sad. So I will just unofficially be in Ebony's banging and swanging challenge. Lord knows, I need all the inspiration I can get. I have fallen off the exercise wagon hard.. HARD I tell you.
*Update* I did plyometrics with the husband this morning. The front of my hair is all kinds of puffy. I've never been so happy to see it that way:-)

ReplyDeleteWow, came out lovely. Your hair is so healthy. Ends look great. Glad your getting back on the exercise wagon. I remember you blogging about working out before we turned it into a challenge. Now that you are officially 'unofficially' apart of the challenge we are cheering for you all the way through hair and health!!
