My
favorite season of the year is the SUMMER. A lot of wonderful things
happen in the summer... My birthday, no snow, concerts, picnics/cookouts, my
birthday, roadtrips, beaches, vacation, and MY BIRTHDAY!
I
think the hardest part of the summer for me is deciding what to do with my
hair. Right now my hair is in a
transition state or should I say states.
I am currently sporting three different textures: natural, texlaxed, and
relaxed. Trust me it is a struggle
handling all three states. I am always
dealing with breakage at the demarcation line of where the textures meet;
however, I refuse to do a big chop. I
have transitioned to natural before without a big chop and I am determined to
do it again. Although I am transitioning
to natural right now, this is not necessarily a permanent thing. For now I am just trying to get one texture
in my hair, and then I will decide if I want to go back to being relaxed. So back to the problem at hand….3 textures
and summer time humidity.
My
current options: braids, wigs, flat iron, and natural state
Here
are MY
pros and cons for each
Braids/Twists
Pros:
minimal work for upkeep
Protective style
Cons: can cause damage if not proper care isn’t
taken
Heavy
Hard on edges
Wigs
Easy access to my hair
Protective Style
Minimal work for upkeep
Cons: Feels like a winter hat
Double hair duty (Hair has to be
taken care of while maintaining your own hair regimen)
Flat
Iron

Quick styling
Quick night time routine
Cons: Heat damage is a possibility
Durability is slim due to
humidity and workouts
Natural
State

Does
anyone else have any suggestions on what I should do with my hair?

are you guys doing with your hair this summer?
