Natural Hair- My dryness

Well, I have been natural for about almost a year before I decided to actually cut off my perm. I decided to cut it off because I thought it would help my hair with its dryness. Boy was I wrong, wrong wrong. It's like my hair is a sponge. In not in a good way either. If it's not twisted up or braided it doesn't have moisture for long. I mean I know they said keep it moisturized but I have gotten a little bit annoyed with the way it has been recently. I kinda straightened it the other day and it actually came out good. But I was too scared to apply too much heat to it. Well after about 2-3 hrs my hair was back to its dry state again. I know there are so many products out there that help, but they are super expensive and I am not in the budget to keep spending my money all willy nilly like that. I have been think about a lot of different styles lately and what to do about the dryness. I wanted to braid it maybe or do another sew in. But I know me. When I decided in Sept 2008 to not perm again, I just wore wigs everyday. And sewed in my hair almost every week different colors. But then I started working and decided to perm it again. Now that I have decided to go natural, when I do a sew in or even wear a wig it annoys my head. If I braid it it annoys me to. I don't get why. I love the way so many people sew in hair and it protects their hair. But for me it won't work at all and I end up wasting money on hair. I'll be working for an event in NYC for a few days and I need it to look as professional as possible. Not sure where I am going with my hair as of yet, but I'll keep you posted.

SN: Thank you guys for reading my blog, it means a lot to me. I love you all a lot and remember to always always put God first.
