  Have you ever had a Protective style that made you lazy????
   (Protective Style  a term used for putting your hair away to protect it, such as braids & weaves) 
  
My last protective style did just that. My first 2 weeks went well. I did  up-dos  and twist-outs  just like i normally would.

 I wore headwraps and hats for the next 2 weeks. which was cool for me, I love to adorn myself with beautiful fabric. Wraping my head  makes me feel like royalty.  I made 4 matching sets to similar this....Can u say comfy
 
                                  

 All though everything look fine on the outside I  was dead wrong for the  situation under the wraps/hats. Can we say Hot mess!! I neglected my co- wash day,  didn't moisturize my scalp & my twist were fuzzy. Making matters worse  Everyday i would make a pair of leggings w the matching hat or wrap . I had  no incentive at all to get that mess outta my hair.  Fed up w an itchy scalp  finally. I took out my braids/twist while watching  the bet awards.....    Side bar -  What happened to music?
You may ask was having a protective style worth the  efforts  hmmm  I'd say yes and no.
  I cut my hair in 3 spots trying to get the weave out NOT GOOD  i did however get a break from my daily hair regime. Next time I'm feeling like i need a break from daily routine of styling & maintenance  I'm gonna keep it simple.  2 strand twist w my own hair  and wraps its just easier.
