Hello everyone
I have a question, I've been reading alot about hair, have even posted a few times, experimented with a few products & things are going well
My "problem" is this....I'm wondering if its not a good thing to keep your hair up?
Its hard to explain but I've been reading that too much heat isnt a good thing, and it seems like whenever I blow-dry my hair, flat iron it, I'm amazed at the fact that anyone would willingly go through this every week!
My hair is fairly long, about to my shoulder blades, I have 2 different types of textures going on. The front half seems more wavy, the back seems more curly, so I tend to wash it, condition it, comb the conditioner through it (either the cream kind or the liquid...depending) and then I'll style it
Lately, the style that I've been wearing is me parting my hair into 4 sections, spraying it with Motions Leave-in, combing it & then twisting it as if to put in a bun, but I leave the hair out on top & I clip it...so that my natural curls are showing
I love the way it looks, its low-maintenance, its not being manipulated much, its cute, its off of my face & neck...its perfect...plus I can always add some little barrettes, scarves, clips, headbands to jazz it up a little if I'm feeling like it
At night, I wrap it with a silk scarf & thats that
In the morning, I undo the scarf, spray my hair again with Motions (not alot), fluff it a little bit & I'm out of the door
I guess I'm wondering if this is ok? I read alot about ladies moisturizing their ends before bed to promote growth, keeping their ends hidden, etc etc and I feel like maybe I should be doing that but my hair is curly so theres so much shrinkage that a bun wouldn't look too nice on me, I think
I wish I had a picture but I really like that I have "discovered" this style because I can create at least SOME variety without damaging anything but I guess I feel like I should be doing something more
Any suggestions? I am trying to grow it just a little longer, trying to keep it healthy, minimize split ends, yada yada yada
Anything else that you think I should be doing?
Thanx ladies!
