Going to live in Japan for a year. What about my hair?!! (long)

Wow! I would love to ask her some questions. Could you PM me her email?

I'm thinking the cornrows and wig thing would begin to get boring before the year is up. But, they seem like safe bets to help me retain length.

I don't know what's kept me from self-relaxing all these years. My grandma raised me and is a beautician, so I trust her a lot with my touch-ups and, even though she grumbles about it, now she only trims when I ask her to.

I guess I could try, though. I've read a lot of self-relaxing tips on this forum, like practicing with a thick conditioner and an applicator brush and relaxing and rinsing out in sections. Now that I really think about it, I'm sure I could do it if I read the threads and look at the fotki tutorials.

I guess then I would really be a DIY'er!

A couple of Lace Front wigs would be a great, are you been intrested in going natural? because you would be in for a really long stretch.
