8 weeks post... I'm four weeks into my 8 weeks of no heat. Why am I doing 8 weeks of no heat?? 1. To give my hair a break from manipulation and heat. If you've ever seen someone with really long hair and all them what they do, many will respond by saying "nothing". I'll explain what this means.. I have a client who is lazy with her hair. Basically she does "nothing" to it. She doesn't comb it, doesn't wrap it, didn't shampoo it, nothing! Yet her hair grew past her bra strap. AND she is RELAXED. She basically left the hair care to me so she wouldn't have to do anything to it. 2. Convenience. I'm very busy most days so I like styles that I don't have to do much to. Protective styles give me that freedom while still allowing my to look cute 💁🏽♀️ Plus, when you get your ends trimmed BEFORE do protective styles, you can make your healthy ends last longer and you'll get to keep more length, resulting in longer hair. Moral of this story? Don't be afraid to get protective styles. They are your friend!😘 https://www.instagram.com/p/CNaecNEB5_t/?igshid=kiqjvfaq3vmn
