Frustrations

Okay, so lets talk hair frustrations. This has been a pressing issue on my mind for some time now. Especially with my current length. Sometimes it goes away with a simple remedy: co-washing and sport a fro and go. I await when I can do more versatile styles; updos are my fave.
I must admit, single strand knots (SSKs) are the major cause of my hair headaches. I always moisturize well and seal my ends so why they continue to haunt me. Search and destroy is the easiest way for me to relieve myself of them, but unfortunately I cannot carry around a pair of pocket size shears and snip away at them while in class etc.
When I first began my natural journey (I need to find an alternate term because I don't like the analogy, more on that later) I didn't experience this much. I was LOVING my twa. I co-washed my hair about every day, but that was also when the weather was warmer. I may take that back up because this SSK business is NOT the business, hmph. My class schedule is pretty sweet, so since I get up earlier, my hair should be dry before I leave the dormitory to head to class. If not, I'll grab my handy diffuser, turn on the cool switch, and commence to dry my hair.
What frustrations have you experienced along your hair journey? How do you get over them?
Stay blessed. XOXO,
