I think I'm gonna call up the salon and change my weave appointment for next weekend to something else. I'm just not interested in wearing a weave right now or any other protective style.
I'll just get a demi-permanent rinse and maybe a rod set. Both things that I can do myself, but why not get a little pampering? Or if they offer a flat twist style, I would try that. Just nothing to do with a flatiron. No ma'am.

I did get my wash day done yesterday. Nothing different this wash day. I put my hair in a flat twist pony and tucked my ends under. I will probably reset on Friday and go back to 2 strands. I will alternate depend on how I'm feeling. Overall, two strands are faster to install and they hold up better with my cycling.
But with my hair being short, I'm not crazy about the styles that I can wear with either of them
I will focus on the positives. At least I have several stops to switch between to give me some variation. And with some consistency, I will be able to bun towards the end of the summer to give me some other style to switch to.
I think next wash day I will use one of my regular shampoos first as a pre-cleanse and then follow that with the 4C Only products.
Just going to keep it simple for now.

Headed into week four of my latest protective style. I think I’ll take it down May 1st and get it re done on the Saturday.
Have you already ruled out health/dietary reasons? If so, maybe you’re having a breakage problem you haven’t noticed yet?
Unless you were talking about your shrinkage. Then disregard lol.
I got a late start on my wash day about 2 washes ago so I decided to sleep in big plaits with just leave in conditioner on and put my styler on in the morning. When I tell you my hair felt like a juicy cloud… so I decided to give it a day without the styler, and ended up going all the way to wash day without it.
I never had luck with the popular leave ins (the cantu one, the shea moisture one) on their own and assumed my hair type would always require a heavy styler/grease/butter on top in order to stay moisturized, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. It’s been about a week now and my hair is loving this new development.

I just looked at an 3 yr old picture of myself and my hair looks the same
