Maybe you started your hair journey and it has not turned out as you planned. You find your hair to be a struggle. Daily you frequent hair forums, groups or hair sites in search of an answer to your hair issue. But all the information just frustrates you more. So you say forget it, I will just cover my hair up with fake hair, and call it protective styling. Once you do that, you then tend to not care, much about your hair. Why do I say that? Because most people get extensions and neglect their real hair. They do not wash it for weeks and that is not good. Sure the fake hair has given you a moment of relief but it has done nothing for your God blessed hair. When you remove it weeks later, you are no more closer to knowing your hair than you were before you got the extensions.
Decide whether you are okay with a temporary fixes, or do you rather have long term results of healthy beautiful hair? I bet you would love your own beautiful healthy hair, to style as you desire. I would love to help you start your journey in that direction. First you start by loving your hair. Love is not what we say, it is what we do. Most people will say, "I love my hair". But does your actions show that you love your hair? Is your hair thriving from love or suffering, due to your constant complaints, frustrations and covering it up?
