July 23, 2010, I got my first weave. It wasn't really my idea; it stemmed from a long heated argument with my father over my hair not being "professional" (*cough*bullish*cough*) and getting this sew-in was my move to shut him up.

| No, I was NOT a happy camper. |
It does look pretty good (except when the humidity gets to my hair) so that's not my issue. I've just gotten used to having short, almost care-free hair. The fuss of long straight hair... this is what I was trying to get away from a year ago! Ugh...
Anyway, I'm a little more comfortable with it, but I don't think it's gonna last too long. For one, it itches like crazy and even though I've oiled my scalp the best I could, I'm getting no relief! Secondly, there's one braid in the back that is just way too tight; the scalp is actually swollen there. (Praying traction alopecia can't happen from a one-time occurrence.) Finally, it's hot and heavy. I like things hot and heavy, but my hair ain't one of them! LOL
So I know this won't be up the two or three months I was told it could last. Shoot, I'd do good to leave it up for one. I know sew-ins are supposed to be a great protective style, but I don't think they're for me!
Tori Danielle! Don't you already have a job?? Or are you looking for one? You and I have pretty much the same hair and I work for the highest office in the State of Texas!!Tell daddy that it's a new day!
ReplyDeleteI do! Two actually, and no one at either of them seem to have an issue with my hair. But he thinks that people don't take me "seriously" as a real estate agent because when he sees the agents advertising on TV, their hair isn't like mine. Of course not; 95% of them are white! I asked him should I bleach my skin and have cosmetic surgery on my nose & lips to look more "professional." That didn't go over well! LOLHe's an old fogey (literally, in his 70s) & won't shut up until you consent. This is just to say "I tried it your way now leave it alone."
