The last post I did here about my hair was in December when I got my yearly flat iron. I have since been in knotless braids and twists. I have seen my hair when I blow it out myself for my braids, but that is rare and I can't remember the last time I did it.
I usually let my stylist wash and treat my hair before she does the next install. Right now I have soft locs and I will be having her remove them and I'm going into spring twist the same day. I leave my styles in 2 months.
Usually I like to give my hair a week or two break before my next style, but over the course of the year that has not happened. None of my styles have been tight in any way. From what I remember my hair is still full and healthy. I guess I'm concerned that I may potentially damage my hair with back to back installs even if they are low tension and low manipulation?
I'm at my hair goal pretty much as far the length and health of my hair, but I just don't want to deal with my hair anymore. I really wish I could give this hair to my younger self when it was important to me. I'm just wondering if anyone has anyone maintained the health of their hair in protective styles long term?
I had looked into doing mini twists on my natural hair, but I was told that at max I can leave twists in 3 weeks before they start to loc. I'm just not interested in going to my stylist monthly for twists.
