I have this sudden urge to texlax. erplexed Lately, I've just been sick of my natural hair. But then, I'd miss the texture. I wish I could just texlax for a few months. Can I texlax just half of my head (the difficult section)? I must sound crazy....I'm feeling crazy right now. I just don't know what to do with my hair! I'm on a student's budget, so I just can't go out and get my hair done by someone. I almost never --um, yeah, it, pretty much never-- wear my hair out. As much as I like the feel of my hair, the feeling of no chemicals, I'm tired of all the extra work and inability to style it. Since I've been 100% natural, I either worn a wig or a pretty head wrap bun thingy (dunno what it's called).
I'm plagued with ssks, and I don't know what to do about them. I've never had or even knew about SSKs/DSKs until being 100% natural. Despite that my hair is much stronger now, I have more setback (caused by ssks). So what do I do?
Wearing my hair out is not an option for me because I simply don't like the shrunken length, upside-down triangle look on me. My face is too chubby, I've gained too much weight, to pull that off. It just seems much more difficult to find acceptable styles for a chubby face (please keep in mind that I'm only speaking for myself).
I thought about doing cornrows and wearing wigs, but it's just so darn hot, AND I don't really know how to cornrow.
So now what? Texlax? But then, what kind of damage does that do? Do a BKT? Hmm, but isn't that potentially even more damage than texlaxing?
I don't know --maybe I just need to vent. I need a little encouragement ladies. I know I'm at an awkward length stage and, maybe, should just wait it out...just let this feeling pass. I'm hoping that once it gets much longer, I will not have so much issues with it (i.e. it'll be easier to style).
