1. That I get to my desired length and then do "something" to mess it up...This happened to me about 8 years ago. I had reached APL and I decided to put it in a PS- microbraids
Yeah, I didn't get the memo that microbraids was NOT a PS...I kept my hair in braids for 1 week, tried to wash it (I was told to put my braids in 4 big plaits), it got matted and I had to get the braids CUT out of my hair. So...within two weeks, I went from APL to a little below NL
To thwart that: I have realized that (for me) braids are not a PS...I have tried a couple braid styles and short of me wearing my hair in corn rows without extensions, I do not retain length...So, NO BRAIDS FOR ME
2. I started graying when I was 19 years old, so for me, dyeing my hair is not so much an option, but more of a necessity...My other hair fear is that I will get to my ultimate hair goal (HL) much, much slower because I constantly have to fix what the dye has messed up.
To thwart that: I'm still trying to figure out what to do with this issue...Ladies, I am definitely open to opinions...actually, maybe I should start my own thread instead of hijacking this one
Sorry!!!
