I am definitely not feeling my hair right now…I don’t know if it’s a phase or what’s going on but its real “blah” lately. Don’t worry, the relaxer will never find its way back to my curls and coils, it’s not THAT serious. However, I am toying with the idea of getting a weave. **Gasp**
I am not a huge fan of weave, nor am I against adding a little something extra to your look, but I’m not one who wears it often (probably once per year) simply because it starts to itch and I can’t stand it anymore. I am experiencing some major shedding though and it’s just looking pretty thirsty. My guess is its stress related. I’m stressed so I am no doubt passing that stress on to my hair.
What am I going to do about it? Of course, I plan to give my hair some extra tlc, more deep conditioning, be more careful while handling, etc. However, I think the primary goal I have is to
get the stress under control. It is taking over every aspect of my life and that is not good. There are two things I know will start me off on the right track that I plan to implement ASAP.
a. Work out - exercise is a major aid in the release of stress
This is no longer a matter of getting swimsuit ready, this is now a must for my mental health which is paramount.
b. Stress relieving exercises - (mediation, yoga, etc.)
There are many breathing techniques, etc. that I can do first thing in the morning.
This article goes into depth about stress and what to do to combat it.

I definitely think that giving your hair a rest is great idea.
Your mind matters a whole lot more, so rock that weave!
JC- LOL! Thanks for the advice. I am really leaning towards that!
