OMG Had a Little Setback! Tangled Mess!

[curlyninjagirl]

Soooooooo. I had my second setback this weekend trying to be cute while making woohoo! I wore my fro out and I slept with it out on a cotton pillow! By the morning it was a dry, tangled, matted MESS!!! I hadn't seen my hair this tangled in years!! It's exactly what I deserved for being so high and mighty about not letting a guy get between me and my hair goals

Here's how I turned my setback into a comeback:

First I did an overnight DC with AO HSR (with my hair in 6 twists). Then I didn't rinse out for 24 hours and when I got home from work I tried to finger detangle but kept coming across some scary matted knots. I PANICKED! 'I'm gonna have to cut!'

Then I thought, 'Ok calm down, remember your LHCF training' . So I wet my hair and got out my big bottle of Sauve Naturals Lavendar condish and saturated my hair with handfuls of the stuff. I carefully took on small section at a time and combed through with my modified denman and the knots just melted away! It was amazing! THANK YOU LHCF!

After my hair was detangled, I put my hair in 8 twists and rinsed completely. I braided my hair in 30 braids and tucked it away and I'm not touching my hair for a month! He's just gonna have to deal with my protective stylin'

That's so funny!

So glad you were able to handle the situation and get your hair back on track

Glad it worked out for you.

I kinda did the same thing when I fell asleep on the sofa and the back of my head was rubbing up against a cotton poly pillow. Ugh.

I bought a scarf to put in my purse. Cover thy hair - a LHCF mantra.
