and screw anyone else who doesn’t! (If you’re here from HC click here ) Or scroll down to read a related post…

Ok... Maybe these aren't grown and sexy...but that's not going to stop me from wearing them for awhile. But I am convinced that if I could pull this off if I can figure out how to part my hair in an attractive way. I'm not in a hair mood right now y'all, I just want something easy to take care of and for the time being...this is it. But if anyone has some grown and sexy box braid pics, please send them to me at nappymehappyme@aol.com and I'll show them off. Thanks!

 Two nights ago I made an impromptu decision to take down my hair. It’s been up in the same twists since last September. Other than reparting my hair to vary my flat twists right along my hair line, I’ve been wearing the same flat and two-strand twist for six months. Someone once asked me how I did it, how did I manage to keep my hair looking so fresh? The answer was simple; all I did was cleanse my hair while in twists, take them down, one at a time to detangle, remoisturize and then twist them back up. Wearing my hair like this enabled me to wear my twists in a multitude of styles, including ponytails, chignons and a whole lot of different updos that I’m sure you’ve seen if you’ve been following my journey as of late. In fact, these twists were so versatile that I thought I’d never grow tired of wearing my hair like this.

 

Well I was wrong. Ok… sort of.

 

It was getting to the point that my method of keeping my hair looking fresh just wasn’t working anymore. I’d redo my flat twists one day and before the end of the day, they would look weeks old. Same thing with my two-strand twists, no matter if I just retwisted, they just looked old. And God help me if I slept on them…I’d wake up with my whole head looking like a fuzzy, wuzzy rug.

 

My hair was trying to tell me something, and that something was most def “TAKE ME DOWN!”
