Getting a lot more comfortable with the fro. It looks a lot better today I think. Btw, that was me attempting to do a thumbs up. Though I have made peace with the fro, I’m ready for a new change. One thing I keep hearing about in the Natural Hair World is the importance of protective styles. Now especially because the winter weather can be harsh on hair (no matter what hair type you have). Although recently, the weather here has been spastic at best. Also, I have fragile ends as it is, so a protective style is in my best interest. I mentioned to my mom the last time I saw her that I wanted to get my hair done proper at a natural hair salon, but that they were unnaturally expensive (see what I did there?). To my surprise, my parents called me today and told me to call them back with a salon and a price and pretty much implied that they’d pay (most likely due to a recent tax check). So now, I’m trying to decide what to do and where to go to get it done. I’ve basically narrowed it down to two styles Mini Twists: As you can see, there is many inventive and fun things you can do with micro twists. Also, they’re pretty easy to maintain. Or, a Curly Weave: I was thinking around the likes of Rihanna Or a la Miss Wynter Gordon (my napsperation) The question is, where to go to do these things, and how much will they cost. In my experience with weaves and from what I know about hair salons, the weave would prolly be cheaper (this includes the cost of hair. braiding hair is much cheaper than extensions, but the procedure in general is still more) and not take as much time. But it takes a lot more maintenance and doesn’t last as long. I mean it can, but you have to be really diligent about taking care of it. And I told myself that it would be a while before I got another sew-in weave (its been more than a year tho). Also, these are two different processes that are done in two different kinds of salons. I’m leaning more towards the mini twists, but I don’t really know anything about braiding salons.  I think I’m gonna go with the twists, but to find a good salon. Guh. Decisions are too hard.

Mini Twists:
