A black womans hair + exercise = a huge headache
I've heard the term "sweat your perm out" several times while growing up but I never knew it was true. Well I've learned that it is. I've sweated my perm out this summer. My hair is thick and kinky. To me its a small price to pay for losing a few pounds. I've pretty much stayed in the house all summer and when I did go out I rocked a baseball cap. It has worked for me. However now its time for me to go back to school. I've been tossing and turning since yesterday with what am I going to do with my hair. I love my short style and originally had planned on scheduling an appointment to have my hair cut, dyed and permed. The only problem is I am no where near where I would like to be physically. Yes I am 3 lbs(last time I checked) from saying bye bye to the 80s and 8 lbs away from meeting my original goal BUT my belly is still bigger than I would like for it to be. So I have to continue working out. I have to continue with Jillian and Shawn. I have to keep sweating.
Therein lies my problem. I cant go to work with my hair sticking straight up on top of my head :/ But I dont want to sacrifice meeting my goal for the sake of hair. What do I do? What do I do? The thought of braids/twists entered my mind. They are convenient and will allow me to look great at school and still be able to work out. However I'm a little fearful of braids every since I went to a bad stylist and she took my edges out. They still have not grown back :/ Another option is to simply cut all of the hair off. I've been wanting a baby fro for a little minute now. However I do not know if I'm ready to make such a huge move. What is a girl to do? lol
