That's me right now...Here's the problem...I love love love my hair...HOWEVER, I feel like I would benefit SO much from getting a sew in.

Pros of getting a sew in:
Lots of growth
Low Maintainance
I can use lots of growth aids without always washing them out all the time
The weave would look a lot like my natural hair, so it wouldn't be too common (see below)
(This is the weave I would get again)

Cons of getting a sew in:
I will miss my hair (it happened last time and I took it out after only 4 days)
I won't feel special...ok let me explain this one so no one gets this the wrong way..lol..my hair make me unique and I feel like if I get a sew in I'll look like a lot of other people, especially where I live now (P.S. I am pro extensions..I used them all through my transition, so please dont take this the wrong way), but I've worked so hard to get here that I don't want to cover it up....

So it's Growth VS. Vanity...What's a girl to do?

Go for the growth. You know what's under there. :look:

I am going to get some yarn braids put in for the summer. I know I will miss my hair, but my natural hair NEEDS a break.

I can hear it groan every time I reach up to put my hands into my hair and end up causing knots to form.:wallbash:
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

Idk. I'm anti-weave, so I say VANITY :yep:
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

i dont really want to say yay or nay, but i would mention that i can relate to the part of "missing" my hair. I have had too many experiences where i sit still for countless hours to get extensions put in, and i remove them before i even know what i am doing.

Honestly assess whether or not you have a history of removing weaves/extensions and make your decision based on that. There is no reason to sit through someone tugging at your hair, and then have to remove it all within a week :ohwell:

HTH
tada
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

Growth...thats why you're here....besides that weave is fab!!!
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

i must add that i am soooo jealous that you were able to find a weave that matches your natural so perfectly
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

It looks good both ways, but here's my equation:
more growth=more vanity.
So go for the weave.

lol good point!!!

Keep it coming ladies!! I do my own sew in so I'd be going to the store at about 10 to get the hair...vote vote vote:grin:


Thanks for all who have already!!
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

You look great either way :yep:

Hmmmm, I say go for the weave. It's a great protective style, and you don't have to worry about your hair. Think about the growth you'd get, and it's super low maintanance- no manipulation is a good thing!

It took some bootlegging..lol! Trial and error...honestly when I just out the pick up and then my real hair on the bottom pic I was kind of surprised at how well it matched...even more than I thought:look:
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

I say go sans weave.

If you took it out after 4 days, how do you know you won't that again.

All that manipulation for nothing.

I also think you can do just fine without the weave.

And I don't think it is vanity, I just think it is easier to NOT get a weave.

OT: OKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I love my linesisters because the LOVe my natural hair. I love them even more because they have made me start wearing it out and trying new styles. BUT, stay trying to prevent me from protective style. Every time I mention braids, a weave, anything they are like, "Ummm, how 'bout no." As soon as I the semester is over and everyone is home I plan to put some twist in my hair and leave them in for the entire summer redoing them once; when I take them out, it will be my two year nappturalversary.

So, I think if you are focused on growth, especially if you are in school, go ahead and put the sew in in. Especially since you found one that matches your natural hair. HOWEVER, on that same token, unless you can put the weave in yourself, or are Beyonce and have money to throw away, don't put it in only to take it out four days from now.

ETA: I just saw your post...so disreguard the Beyonce bit.

Weave. And I say that as a natural with serious HIFD.

Get your growth on girl! :grin:
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

I voted go for it. You'll probably take it out quickly, but at least you'll satisfy your curiosity:grin:
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

GROWTH. I know what you mean about feeling special or unique when you display your natural hair but you gotta think SL/APL unique or BSL/WL unique??
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

I go through spells like this too. I just took my weave out after about 7 weeks because I started to miss my hair. But now that it's been out a week I'm thinking about the next thing I want to do to my hair. :rolleyes: Get the weave if you really want to. You can always take it out in a month or so.
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

I think you look pretty and you should embrace your own. The weave can still cause build up on the scalp, and become frizzy, etc. hum... If you are like me, once you do the sew in, you will be taking it down soon. hahahah
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

ARGHHHHHHH, girl I thought I was the only girl who felt like this before a sew-in. I asked people until I am blue in the face. Not to jack your thread, but I thought I was being a bit shallow. I missed my hair and took it out after three weeks, but I have missed the way it made my hair grow, and I was back to square one of those emotions. I say get the weave, and remember how your hair will look weeks after taking it down. Fight through those wonderful feelings of vanity. There is more of that to come.:grin:
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

You look beautiful either way if I had to choose: Go for growth! BTW, what brand/texture is the weave. It's beautiful and looks so natural.
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

It's sounding like weave so far...anyone else?
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

Yes, the weave. Let me add, you are beautiful. Natural hair is always better, and the weave doesn't take anything away from your looks. It is a growth mechanism, and it is just that. Just don't waste your money. I have wasted so much money putting it in and taking it out in a matter of a couple weeks. If I just hid my pride and endured it, everything would have been just fine. You won't regret it. Regardless, you know what you are working with, and your hair ain't running away from you. Whew! I think I may have been talking to myself also.:lachen:
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

yes, get the weave! i'm comtemplating it myself. i havent had a weave in over 10yrs but i'm wanting one for the same reasons as you. also when i did wear weaves thats when i saw ALOT of progress with my natural hair. it got me over the hump!
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

Ok ladies....thank you...Going to the weave store:grin:
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

^^ i think that's a good decision. the sew-in looks very natural and nice to me. when it comes out, you'll have lots new growth which should make you love your hair even more :grin:.
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

ITA with getting the weave. especially since you know how to do it yourself therefore you will take the best care of it since it is YOUR hair (and it's economical) AND since it will probably make for very easy care for the upcoming summer months which will most def mean more growth. :yep:

POST PICS WHEN YOU ARE DONE PLZ!!!!! (thank you! :grin:)
 
Re: My head is SPINNING!!! What should I do?!?! Vote asap..my decision is in the morn

I don't wear weaves anymore (personal preference), but I say do the weave for growth. Then you can do vanity later.:grin:


Oh. Didn't see you already made your decision. Great!
Make sure to post pics when you're done.
