How do you wear your hair?
in cornrows all the time. at one point i tried two-strand twists, but they tangled too badly.
I'm natural, and my hair stays in a pony tail.
I am also natural, but that ponytail thing wouldn't work cause my hair is not long enough.
There is no point is pressing it,
I press before I braid, because it makes it go faster and there is less tangling and breakage.
because I will have to make ghusl and mess it up.
I know the feeling
Natural braids or twists don't stay long enough to justify spending the hours it takes to do it.
How much practice do you have with cornrows? Do you think more practice might make it go more quickly for you? I do mine every two weeks, and it takes me about an hour to braid it. Or you could do the part from ear to ear and put some cute cornrows in the front with the bun in a back and some kind of pretty hair doo-dad to make the bun a little sassy.
Sometimes I feel like because I cover my hair,and have to wash it often, it would be a lot easier to be relaxed.
I am actually considering texlaxing right now because I want to be able to wear a bun and cowash everyday like I did when I was texlaxed some years ago, but I am afraid it might cause breakage, and I will have to cut. (I want to do it because my hair was the longest it's ever been back then)
But I really don't want to be relaxed, I just want all the styling options. Do you have this problem, and if so how to you manage?
I hope I answered your questions. Feel free to PM me if you like. As-Salaamu'Alaikum
