Transcript

I got sews in and my hair grew but my leave out was heat damaged. I got knotless braids but my edges got thin. I get a silk press but it doesn't stay silky for very long and my roots puff up almost immediately. I can't do wigs because I got a low hairline and a widow's peak. A lot of the braided hairstyles that don't have tension like the knotless braids don't look good on the widow's peak. I can't wear my hair curly because it's so heat damaged from all the heat styling. So what what is the answer? So what do we do? Is there a protective style? I'm starting to believe that there is no such thing as a protective style because everything that's protective has some degree of damage, some degree of tension. And now I'm here with three and a half scoops of hair on my head and I'm just like so what the hell we going to do?
