Mend it

During my first pregnancy, I keep my hair braided (micros). I would get them touched up every month and a half, until my six month of pregnancy. I had to go on bed rest, and could not afford to get my touch ups. So my micros looked a mess and I was afraid to get a relaxer due to he pregnancy.

A few weeks after giving birth, I had decided to take my micros out, due to the fact they were in since I was about two months pregnant. Well, after taking the micro outs and combing through my hair I washed it; and that is when all the tangles started.

My hair looked like each strand had been mend together. There was no hope for my hair, I tried everything, from detangling lotions to rewashing and combing it out in the shower. It was still mended together.

I was so embarrassed, I ran to a BoRics and asked them to cut all that was bad. After the beautician was finished lets just say that my husband and I were both wearing the same hairstyle "Bald Fade". I ran to the nearest hair store and bought a wig. I have been wearing them ever since.
