That time an hairstylist hated doing my hair.
That was in December 2017 and it was the second and final time I ever gotten a sew in. I remember this like yesterday! I first went natural in February 2017 and my hair wasn’t as soft as it is now. My hair was still very coarse but it was also dry because I had just washed it and I didn’t want to put any products in it because I thought that’s what I was supposed to do! But I was wrong for that. Also it was my first time embracing my hair so I had a lot to learn! I used the wrong products! Used the wrong oils but hey look where we are now! I am so proud of my journey.
Alright let’s get into the story time.
I went to the hairstylist’s house to get my hair done, it was me and my best friend. When she got to doing my hair, she used the wrong comb and she was detangling my hair from root to tip! If you have natural hair you know we don’t detangle our hair like this! It’s super painful and it causes a lot of breakage plus my hair broke her comb lol. She kept detangling my hair wrong and she kept complaining that my hair was too thick and that I should put a perm in to make it more manageable like excuse me! I was furious but it was after she did my hair I realize what damage she caused. My hair was soooo tight I looked like I was mixed with Asian ! My eyes were so spread out! I had a massive headache for like days ! I couldn’t sleep. When I finally took the hair out my edges fell out and I was soooo sad but don’t worry after a couple of months my hair was thriving again. After that I never got a sew in again! I was traumatized.
that was it!
I’m not getting braids, or put any wigs any time soon. Maybe in the future but for now I don’t want to. I love my hair so much and I have gotten used to doing it. I don’t want to use any fake hair right now. I’ve had my fair share of fake hair, there was a time I used to do my hair every 2 months and always a different style! Now I’m just tired of it. I’m tired of sitting down for hours to get my hair braided. I just want to be left alone. I don’t want to put anyone in my hair. I just want to chill.
