While waiting for my consultation, I decided to twist my hair up and buy a short wig. Because I wore braid and twist extensions for so long, I wanted to get comfortable with short hair again. I found a wig with a cute pixie cut and sore that for about a week. I felt that my co-workers made such a big deal about the dramatic change in my hair so I ended up giving some ‘lessons’ on black hair. Remember…I had been wearing braids and two strand twist extensions since I worked there so none of them had ever seen my natural hair. I did explain to them that even with that, there’s no way my nappy, kinky, coily hair could ever bee as straight as the wig was even if it was scared straight! LOL I also felt that I should give them a clue so when I came back in the following week with my kinky short locks that they wouldn’t be too surprised.
As my appointment grew closer, I decided to wear twists and twist outs for a couple of days. I washed and deep conditioned my hair one last time the night before my appointment. I arrived at my appointment with no product in my hair. For comfort, I packed a lunch bag with lunch and snacks to hold me over until dinner. I ate breakfast before I left home J. I also took my Ipad.
Thanks for this post
