July 23, 2010, I got my first weave. It wasn't really my idea; it stemmed from a long heated argument with my father over my hair not being "professional" (*cough*bullshit*cough*) and getting this sew-in was my move to shut him up.

Anyway, I'm a little more comfortable with it, but I don't think it's gonna last too long. For one, it itches like crazy and even though I've oiled my scalp the best I could, I'm getting no relief! Secondly, there's one braid in the back that is just way too tight; the scalp is actually swollen there. (Praying traction alopecia can't happen from a one-time occurrence.) Finally, it's hot and heavy. I like things hot and heavy, but my hair ain't one of them! LOL
So I know this won't be up the two or three months I was told it could last. Shoot, I'd do good to leave it up for one. I know sew-ins are supposed to be a great protective style, but I don't think they're for me!

ReplyDeleteDon't you already have a job?? Or are you looking for one? You and I have pretty much the same hair and I work for the highest office in the State of Texas!!
Tell daddy that it's a new day!
I do! Two actually, and no one at either of them seem to have an issue with my hair. But he thinks that people don't take me "seriously" as a real estate agent because when he sees the agents advertising on TV, their hair isn't like mine. Of course not; 95% of them are white! I asked him should I bleach my skin and have cosmetic surgery on my nose & lips to look more "professional." That didn't go over well! LOL
