For the past several days I have been wearing my hair "fake natural"-that is, natural hair heat straightened. For the first few days I was using my flat iron to curl my hair (and it was cute;-), but I was dissatisfied with all of the heat I was applying to my hair. So, on about the third night of my recent fake natural life, I braided my hair in about 4 cornrows as I would do if it were "real natural"-that is natural hair worn without any chemicals or heat applied to it. The results were wavy hair, similar to that of a natural hair braid out except with a bit less definition and not quite as big, but I quite liked it. So for anyone wearing your hair straight for the winter, or anyone who regularly wears your hair straight (either straightened by heat or chemicals) don't forget that protective style outs (twist outs, flat twist outs, braid outs etc.) are still an option, and a very good one. Wearing protective styles on straightened hair will be beneficial for multiple reasons: this will give you a different look, give your hair a break from daily wear and tear, and prevent the need for use of heat on your hair. For those transitioning, this is an especially good option because it will get you used to a more "natural" look. It is helpful while you are transitioning to get used to seeing your hair not straight (even if you intend to heat straighten) in order to help ease the transition process, and to better prepare you for the days of being completely natural.
That's all I have to say on that,
Tootles for now
PS-who can believe that it's almost 2011 ?!?!?!
