After conditioning my hair, it appears that some protective styling may be best for me now. I can tell my hair is growing, but I've been doing a lot with it and it's in need of a break. I've been polling my friends and associates to see what their thoughts on braiding my hair were. Some encouraged the idea, supporting it with the season, my increased level of activity and practicality. Others shrieked at the notion. "It's not very professional!" Huh? Did they forget that I had locs and held down a thriving professional career for over seven years? There are ways to style the hair so that it is still clean and presentable...duh. Another mentioned that braids were out of style...So you mean to tell me that one of the oldest styles in our civilization is now outdated?
Get outta here...
I understand personal preference - to each, his own. If one doesn't like braids then they should not get them. And if my man thought there were a better style for me out there, I may consider that style - I said may. However, that's not the case. Therefore, I will be braiding more for practicality and function rather that style. Oh, but don't worry, I'll still be cute...as usual. :-) Hair oil, rat-tail comb in hand, and bags of kanekelon in tow. As the infamous line in any dramatic film will go: I'll do it...don't come any closer!
