i really have no desire to ever relax my hair again, but i feel so limited with style choices with natural hair. i thought being natural was supposed to give you double the style options?
my hair is the longest its ever been as an adult but its like it doesnt even matter because i lose all the length with shrinkage so what's the point? i tried ponytail banding this weekend and when i took it down, what a waste of time, i could have achieved the same results braiding it after shampooing. i cant even do a high bun because it shrinks and the topknot is smaller than a tennis ball - i cant even get it to fold over. so im just stuck every day pulling it back into a ponytail and balling it up, usually wearing a tie around headband.
this crap is real weak. i do not feel pretty at all. i noticed this over the weekend. its easy for me to put aside the things i would normally be doing because i don't feel like myself not being able to style my hair competently. i grew my hair out with sew ins, and i got attached to the length. like i said, i dont care about straight hair, and my own texture is very pretty and coily, but i'm just 100% not a fan of short hair.
i'm going to figure out how to do a fake bun and just do high buns and low buns, buy a lot of accessories, and call it a day. until my hair is some ridiculous length like WL it seems really useless to me.
