Simplicity & Peacefulness
I'm 4a bsl natural and live in a high humidity area. I am constantly a prisoner to humidity. I had a big event this weekend and my family asked how I'm going to wear my hair and I told them a wig because the humidity was too high this weekend. My twistouts look awesome when there's no humidity - but that rarely happens.
I feel like a prisoner because I have to do this often or just bear it and look juvenile. It's like dang what's the point of all this fabulous hair if nobody can ever see it because the humidity has a vendetta against me!
The only thing I've found that works against humidity is high heat with flat iron, but that just gives bone straight hair, no thickness, bigness, fullness, texture or definition that I want. I get curls with it from flexis. But it's not the same effect as a fabulous and full twist/braidout.
I've tried gels, humidity blockers, twisting creams, but the humidity just won't let me be great!
What's the middle ground for this? Afro puff all the time? I refuse! Doing a sneak attack on myself by adding some relaxer to my conditioner? Lord help me! Relax? Defeats the goal of big, textured hair. Give up?
The only thing I miss about being relaxed is that the weather was never a thought.
