Every now and then a girl has to change-up her hairstyle–right? All of my life my hair has been straight–for a brief period when I was a kid my mom use to perm my hair–but that didn’t last long. As I got older my mom just flat ironed my hair using the stove however when I started college I bought a plug-in flat-iron from Sally Beauty Supply and I have been using that ever since.
A couple of months ago I wanted a new ‘do’ and I knew that I didn’t want to cut or color my hair so I decided not to straighten my hair for a while so one day I just went for it–I washed my hair and braided it up and I have been rocking my hair like this for the past three months. And I must admit it has been so nice not having to straighten my hair and I really love my hair like this.
