What to do!?
Sitting here in the PC lab.. bored AF! But anywho, I’ve been going back and forth on the topic of my hair…Should I keep it blonde? or should I rinse it red? Should I protective style it? or should I leave it stretched? When should I straighten it?…should I do it at all!?!? SMH! Like what is the point of all these damn questions?! lol. n e who, I don’t know in which direction to go.
As far as the color, I def will do it sporadically and whenever I want. but I’m thinking I wanna be on fire for the 4th of July weekend. Sooo that’s why I’m, holding off on it. not to mention its only a rinse and will be in for like 2 weeks or so. So its not permanent at all.
The protective styling: I’m scared that if I spend all this time doing it, that I’m gonna get bored of it and not wear it for the maximum amount of time that I think will = the amount of work I put in. So there I am thinking at the margin – as we would say in Microeconomics. (lol. I’m taking that course now). So basically will it be worth it.? What is my opportunity cost of spending x amount of hours on my hair that I could be doing something else – sleeping/studying/hanging out. Its just wayyy too much to think about, for now at least. It actually is in a protective style at the moment, b/c I had somewhere to go this past Saturday. [I'll put pix]. So yea. And also, should I put weave or no? like do I want long braids, or just my hair. I really do not know!
Straightening my hair, there are a couple things that go into this. Because I am working out, it probably wont stay as long as I would like. When should I do it? the weather here has been crazy, cold raining, sunny, hot. IDK. getting crazy out here. lol. And then a recent battle with myself over blow dry or Flat Iron!? Which one do I want? I was just going to stick to my normal flat iron at the place where I most recently went. But there is this Dominican woman who is all about healthy hair, and she does a friend of mines hair who is also natural. She blow dries it and is very affordable, but I was scared of the blow drier. I did NOT want to risk losing my curls, cause ya’ll know I love them. But then I came across something on NaturallyCurly.com and they said that a blow drier is less damaging than a flat iron. I had trouble wrapping my mind around it, but it kind of made sense to me in the end. If you get your hair rollerset, and then just straighten the rest with air and a round brush, it is less tension. It says that flat irons cause pressure along with the heat from being clamped between 2 plates. but IDK.. I just dont know. The blow dry affect will probably leave my hair free flowing and more likely to curl up faster with moisture. But with the flat iron, its a nice moisture level that can be maintained over the promised 3 week period. Oh man!! smh.. this is a debate to be HAD okay! And not alone! But i think I will try it, with my hair red possibly… smh. I really need to figure it out! lol. but that is my rant for now.
I think I’m going to do something irrational and sporadic but positive. lol. It will be in a good direction for my hair (whatever it is that I decide) and yea, I’ll notify everyone of it. Till then, I have pix of before and after of my trim and the style that I am currently rocking!
Later <3 Jess
