Do you find yourself choosing simplicity over variety and style when it comes to your coils?
Picked-out Afro
This was definitely a one time only thing. It was actually a style I rocked by default, but nevertheless, I wanted big hair. For some odd reason I decided to try dry-finger detangling after a long night of studying. I don’t know what convinced me to try finger detangling for the first time at 10 pm as if I don’t have work and class the next day but, I finished it — two hours later. As much attention and “I didn’t recognize you” whip flashes I got on campus, this was a mess trying to detangle. On top of a detangling disaster, the upkeep would have been a headache. The daily maintenance for a picked afro would stunt my length retention progress, and I am not a fan of breakage.

I have yet to do a blowout or an afro. I do love twist-outs! The wash & go’s were a nightmare- too many knots and terrible shrinkage! I will stick to my twist-outs!It’s all trial & error.

I choose simplicity over variety and style. I do not do re-twisting at night while I wear twist outs, nor do i wet my hair everyday. When I get the feeling and time ( 2 kids, a partner, and a dog).

I keep my hair braided and twisted because that is what works for me. I have tried wearing it out but I often find I am self-conscious when I do. I always want to make sure my hair is in check.
