So the story goes.  I decided a few months ago to weave my hair up so it would grow and so I would stop cutting it.   The back of my hair is currently touching the lower part of my neck and the front is mid neck.  When I don't mess with my hair it tends to grow like a weed so I figured a few weaves would do the trick.  The first weave was nice, and expensive ($140) but I couldn’t keep paying that price plus ordering Wagman’s hair so I went to a lady who charged $65 and good grief my hair shed so bad and came out around my edges and the nape of my neck.    I didn’t have any problems with the first weave.  On top of that I have two plugs of hair missing, I’m not sure if my Mom cut some hair out when she was taking my hair down or the lady who weaved my hair did it.  My mom has never cut my hair but I don’t know. 

 

The point of this story is, I’m chilling on the weaves and I’m going to try hair healthy methods to help my poor hair recover.   If I’d stop cutting my hair it would get as long as the weaves I get so I need to let my hair breath!  So from now on minimal heat for me and I’m going to try to make it past 6 weeks for each perm.  I think tomorrow I’ll try the bantu knots with some good moisturizer and post pictures.  Yesterday on Tyra’s show her hair was pretty I may try to get my hair crinkly like hers in a few weeks too.  It looks like she braided them really small then took them down.  To cute!

 

Ladies, thanks for all the hair info on the site, I don’t post often but I check post every week or so for new helpful info.

Sorry to hear that. I was going to say that the 2 spots of missing hair sounds like she braided the hair too tight. IA with supermodelsonya that the hair is suppose to shed when you are taking it down. Maybe u should stick with the most expensive since your hair did not come out when she did it.

awww....i'm sorry that happened to you....

Try to make it past 6 weeks for each perm?  Try 8 instead at minimum.

IA with the other ladies.
