Is it just me or do yall go through this too?

[MsLizziA]

I have to kind of shy away from the hair boards when i put in sew-ins and styles that last long because it makes me want to take it out and play in my hair. but then that would defeat the purpose of me doing it in the first place

Do you ladies feel like this when you put in styles that last months at a time??

 

[supermodelsonya]

YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSS!

I had to smack my hands away quite a few times because I just want to play in my hair.

I took a sew in down today and got a chance to play in it but now seeing that it has only gotten a little longer, I'm ready to weave it back up.

APL in May/June ain't happening....

I know how you feel . When I would have in my sew ins and read about people deep conditioning their hair , doing henna treatments , or trying some new product I would get the itch to take my hair down early . I just have to fight that urge and keep my sew in in as planned. : )

 

[ms.blue]

He!! Yeah, I love braids & weaves but I miss looking and playing with my hair especially washing my hair, It's not the same w/ braids & weave as my own hair. I usually get like this around sixth week but I always try to make it to eight weeks.

 

[MsLizziA]

I know its so hard but its completely worth it when you smack yourself and let it stay in. Ediese inspired me to go back to my sew-ins and one other lady on this hair board. I don't remember her name but i do know here by her hair ..lol!

 

[DarkHair]

I'm like that. I vowed to keep my hair weaved/sewn in from January to June. I just got my hair rebraided a couple of weeks ago, and I'm itching to take it down. I think I'll take it out May first. I'll flatiron til June then relax. The stylist that did my hair didn't DC or give me a protein treatment. I miss doing those.

 

[bedazzled]

Yes omg!!!!!!b esp. Being a natural because I loveeee my hair texture & I like the spongy 4b coils and the 3c bouncy curls. I wanted to take my braids out after 4 months but now I'm hitting 3 + its my one year anniversary this week so I have to take them down! I thought I was the only one who disappeared when I got some type of weave/extensions in

 

[beans4reezy]

I don't wear sew ins, but this is the case with my braids. My heart aches during long braiding stretches because all I want to do is play in my hair so very badly.

 

[soon2bsl]

Aww I know what you mean. I still come on the boards but I do start missing my hair after a while. I just had my last install in for 8 weeks. Let my hair rest for 2 weeks and just got it reinstalled a week ago. But I know it's so worth it. I just made APL in Dec 09, and Jan-March of this year I had my sew in...when I took it out, I was grazing BSB! So that's a huge incentive to keep on PS with my sew in!

 

[HarySituation]

I just did my first crochet braids install 4 days ago (which came out GREAT by the way) but i still have soooo many new hair products I want to try that i am already missing my hair. This obsession is ridiculous.

 

[Adaoba2012]

I completely agree! I have this sew-in right now and its been in for about 6 weeks...I literally cannot wait until I can take it out and scrub my scalp. I'm trying to keep it in for another 6 weeks because I always see lots of growth after I take down my sew in's.

Inspirational story!

 

[topnotch1010]

Absolutely! That's why I had to stop doing sew-ins, I missed my hair so much!

 

[Mane Event]

Yup, I go thru this as well!!!!

I try to stay out of the hair forum so I'm not so obsessed with hair care & new products. Instead, I stay updated on everything Bey, Kim & Nicki - related
(Good grief, what has my life come to spinning

My sew-ins also allow me to focus on a good vitamin reggie. As much as a want to take it down, I can be my own worst enemy! The wait is well worth it!

 

[MsMwana]

YESSSSS!!! I've had this sew in for about 4 weeks and I'm this close to taking it out and doing a deep deep condition! I'm inspired by soon2bsl to stick with it... *sigh*

 

[melissa-bee]

This is part of the reason i don't do weaves and extensions.

 

[DarkChyld]

Yes. Finally someone said it. I feel this every time I leave the salon after I get cornrows or twists. I'm always interested in another hairstyle or product.

 

[Truth]

heck yeah when i'm in braids or kinkys or whatever I tend to stay in the off topic section... lookin through this will make me wanna take em out and do stuff..lol
