Your braid takedown day arrived. You finally stopped putting it off, you put on a show, got started, and now there's enough hair in your hands to make you question every decision you have made since installation.
You are minding your business, sliding your fingers down a perfectly good strand and then, BAM. Bead. And if you have a touch of my kind of obsessiveness, you reach for your hair shears and snip just above the little annoyance. But if the hair shears aren't in arm's reach (and most people's aren't lol) you may even be tempted…
Some twist-outs are gorgeous at 7:12 a.m. and spiritually gone by lunch. Checked out. Clocked out before you could even get going. If the definition disappears too fast, the problem may not be “your hair.” Sometimes we are setting with a moisturizer that was never designed to hold anything. Nikki does that often- issa waste of a wash day.
The hairline is not the place for heroics. Those babies are just babies lol. The strands are often finer, shorter and exposed to everything from ponytail tension, caps, wig friction, scarves, edge brushes, gels, to sweat and our own fingers checking to see whether they grew yet.
