Bored and longing for new lengths



I am so bored today. I was just telling a girlfriend that. And when I am bored all I want to do is retreat to my bedroom, sit in front of my mirror and do my hair.
I am currently wearing my hair in Outre's french wave weave. It is a wavy hair that is easy to maintain. No fuss hair.
I put it in myself for Mother's Day. I first left it at its original twelve inches but cut it down after a few days. The heat had a lot to do with my decision to cut but then again I also
hate it when curly extensions are that long. I mean who wants to look like Evelyn Champagne King reloaded? I also deliberately put an invisible part in this particular weave because, for the life of me, I can't understand why people would put bangs in their curly weave and not see Rick James beeyatch in the mirror.
Now I want to toss my wavy weave extensions. I am even bored of that too. This morning while I was prepping for work I thought that I should braid my hair next. Not those long tacky micro ones though, the afro kinky kind that come in different colours and can withstand three times a week shampooing.
But I don't know. The cons to that is that the hair tends to bulk a lot (duh they call it bulk hair too) and within weeks I would have a head of fat plaits falling about my face.
I also have the option of buying a wig with either curly or straight hair. It is a full wig so it would allow me to give my hair a rest. The draw back of a wig though is that when I am home I have to always do something with my natural hair. And therein lies the problem.
Or maybe I should braid my hair using wavy braid extensions? Nah. It's not easy braiding your own hair for 9 hours. Not only does your butt hurt from sitting in one spot so long, so do your hands and arms from moving them all about the head.
So I am back to square one. Still bored but with a spark of excitement still, about what's going to be my next hair move.
