How many have missed an important event due to the look of their hair?

[1QTPie]

Never. I'd spritz water on it and slap it into a bun before I'd skip anything because of my hair. That's what bobby pins are for anyway.

 

[mscocoface]

No, maybe should have but no. Even with The Beast we have an understanding Mommie don't miss no big events.

Never in my life. But then again I don't fuss too much over my appearance ("my give a damn is broke" lol). I wear a bun 95% of the time, a braid-out ponytail 5%. If I've overslept or something I will put on a spanish wrap style scarf to get to class on time.

Sadly I have missed a few events like church, hanging out-but not super major once-in-a lifetime events (although church is important still) because I felt my hair needed fixing. Naturally you plan for the biggies in advance. This used to never happen to me. I don't want to be a slave to my hair, which is why I am taking measures to ensure that does not happen. It's not worth it, especially if it can be avoided with better planning-in my case.

Never, thanks to my wigs.

No I will bun/ponytail and scrunchy and keep it movin.

funny story just a few weeks ago I was planning a lazy Sunday. We went to early service the kids were with my sister. When I got home from church I started doing my hair. I was going to prepoo with evco for an hour, dc with conditioner and amla powder then wash and twist. I wasnt in a hurry so I put that dc in slapped on a plastic cap and did some house work. Just before I was going to get under the dry my husband calls me and says we are going to have dinner with the pastor and the first lady. I yelled my hair. I slammed the phone down rinsed put in about some big twist - I think I did 8 or 10. I slapped on a wide head band and hoped no one looked at the back of my head. It was a really casual dinner but still I dont normally go out the house like that. In hind site I could have just wet bunned. I just made a joke during dinner about husbands making plans and informing me at the last minute.

I have miscalculated how much time it takes to take extensions out....

And that that is not something you can really rush without ruining your real hair...

Nope...I have a few half wigs on hand just in case I have a "bad hair day" ... If it's a special event like a wedding etc...I think about what I'm going to do with my hair in advance just as I would plan what outfit I am wearing in advance...I do everything for my hair myself now so I don't even have to wait on an appt. with an hairdresser to do anything...The other day this lady called out from work b/c she had a hair mishap..I was thinking she better stop playing, and go to the bss, get a wig, and come to work....It really was not that serious...
