God I used to love this hair

For nearly the last 3 years I lived in braids 24/7. I would take one style out and have an appointment booked for the next day, sometimes that same day. I had convinced myself that taking care of my own hair was just too much work and I didn’t have the time. I had been natural in highschool and didn’t want to go back to 4 hour wash days, braid outs and endless curl products. What finally shifted my perspective was the desire for healthy hair overall, whether I wore it curly or not. I was so tired of my ends braking off and feeling brittle, I wanted to actually give my strands some TLC. I have been doing roller sets as a way to keep my hair in a style that I can easily manage while maintaining the health and I have absolutely fallen in love. Not only do I get compliments regularly (which I never really did in braids unless someone was asking who my braider was) but I feel like I am caring for every part of myself in the way I deserve. It has been a very new transition but I am so excited to continue this journey and fall back in love with MY hair. #straightnatural #naturalhair #blackgirlhair #braidstyles #protectivestyles
