From a Wash-n-Go to a Twist Out

This is my same hair from the previous post. It's a week later and my hair is still going strong! I did a twist out on it twice this week and my hair has looked different every day this week with minimal maintenance. My hair has done so well on my vacation to Los Angeles, I'm thinking about not getting a weave for the new year.

Wash And Go...I Think Not

One of the top hairstyles that most naturals wear is a Wash-N-Go...am I one of them?? Unfortunately I Am Not. I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that if a person is natural they can automatically do a wash and go. Let me be the 1st person to tell you "A wash-n-go is not for everyone!" Some things are meant to be in their rare form and others aren't. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I'm not happy with the hair God has given me, because I am...but I'm even happier about what my hair can do once manipulated.
The term 'Patience is a Virtue' can be applied to so many situations, the one situation that I've seem to have mastered patience with is my hair. A little manipulation and alot of TLC can go a very long way. Below are pics of me fresh out the shower, hair still soaked...and pics of what my hair looks like after I've applied my gel or moisturizer...depending on my style of choice.

So don't have your mind so set on being able to wash-n-go that you allow your hair in its "natural state" to make you perm it. Spend some time with your hair, get to know it, you never know what the outcome could be. You could be missing out on something amazing!
