I am currently very happy with the state of my hair. I have decided to stop experimenting with it and just decided on the adage - "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Meaning I have decided to keep my hair the same way I have been wearing it for years now.
The good thing about the way I wear my hair is that even though I keep it in a simple natural style, it is extremely cost effective. All I need to do is to make sure I am buying healthy products for it and just wash, comb and go. I wash my hair anywhere between two to three times a week. Since it is extra curly - it is not advisable for me to wash it every day. I also use a leave-in conditioner to help to keep it in good condition.
I also have the flexibility of altering my usual hairstyle into different styles. I could blow dry it straight, although I avoid doing this. Heat is not a good thing for natural hair or any hair for that matter. I could also put it into braids and twists just using my natural hair, or extensions. The problems with braid and twist extensions is they have been known to be cancer-causing. I can also wear my hair in a big afro. This is the picture I show to you today. Plus...there is always the option of wearing wigs and ponytail extensions if I really feel like playing dress-up. In my line of work of teaching, there is barely cause to go to these extremes in hairstyles.
