Giving my hair a break.

I wish I had better news about my edges, but after taking down my last set of cornrows, my edges look dreadful. You can CLEARLY see where my hairline is receding. To say I'm disheartened is an understatement, with that said, I've decided that for the remainder of the summer, I will wear Havana Twists. My goal is to wear the twists for one month, 2 month max with a week break in-between reinstallation. The difference between Havana Twists and regular Kinky Twist extensions is the lack of tension on your scalp. The twists are bigger and can easily blend into your natural hair. I'm getting them installed next Friday and I'm excited. I've been extensions free for almost a full year and frankly...my hair needs a break.

To keep my hair moisturized, I decided to make a moisturizing mix with water, a light conditioner, tree tea oil(since I work out a lot and a funky scalp is NOT the business), and vitamin E oil. I plan on wetting and sealing my hair DAILY. So that means, I have to stick to washing my scalp once a week and being on top of daily upkeep, even if I have to put a daily reminder in my phone to wet and seal my hair. On top of that, I'm going to up my castor oil regime to at least 4 times a week.

Also, I've decided to buy at least 2 wigs for the Fall/Winter season. Yes, I will be wearing WIGS for the Fall/ Winter. I need to give my hair rest from constant manipulation and I plan on using that time to concentrate on my edges as well. I plan on keeping track of my growth process.

I will get my edges back!
