The hair struggle is real! I cut my hair off and went blonde earlier this year, and then in July, I stopped getting haircuts. Now that it is growing out, I have enough to pull up into an afro puff, and that has been my daily style as of late, but as you said, shrinkage is so very real, and I have been thinking about getting braids again as an in between style.
The realest of black mama advice. I hear it in my core. Sometimes I sit and think about what it would be like to do both my daughters’ hair and then mine, nope. There’s no way there’s enough hours in the day or strength in my discipline to find the time.
Waiting on my stylist to offer her subscription plan. The BGC women meant well, but I don’t feel like myself without my shoulder length frobob in my vivid colors yet I can’t take adequate care of it so it keeps getting broken off. Thankfully she’s a fellow Black millennial who gets why we need help and how it’s self care. She just put me on to Amika products, especially the hydration happy hour and I love it! Still need help though!
Oooh, hydration happy hour sounds fun! And listen, if my stylist offered a subscription plan I would sign up in a heartbeat! Trying to convince my doula friend who used to do my braids to offer a doula & braids prenatal & postpartum package because babyyy, the mamas need all the love they can get! 🙌🏾

Oh yes, the puff was my go-to when my hair was longer! But there's just something about a fresh set of braids 🙌🏾
