I’ve been wondering whether it is better to re-tighten your hair yourself or if you should go to the hairdresser and let them do it. Personally, I am just too lazy to do my hair myself, especially since i have a lot of locks. I haven’t gotten around to counting them yet but it’s a lot I’m sure. The good thing about doing your hair yourself though, is that you can take as long as you want. Meaning that you don’t have to spend four hours having someone man handle your head. You can stop any time you like.
So i do think that one day I will stop going to the hairdresser and save myself some money, but for now, i will just have to deal with the hassle. I’ve heard that is quite simple to groom your own hair and i know a few people who do their own hair without having taken a class. The way they put it “You just use the sister-locks tool and pull through the hair until it is locked at the root once more.” Some persons even use a crochet needle.
If you don’t feel confident then let someone who knows what they’re doing work their magic…but if you think you can do it, save yourself the money because i find it ridiculous to pay someone to do something that you can do yourself.
Hmmm…
Just to offer another POV…
There are some things I could do myself that I pay people to do (like my hair or clean my bathrooms) and some things most people pay for that I always do myself (like my eyebrows). I guess it depends on how much we like these activities, how well other people can do them, and the value of our time. Like, it’s cost-effective for me to get my hair done if I can work while it’s being done, yet, no one does my eyebrows to my satisfaction, so I might as well do a less-than-perfect job myself for free.
That said, I was *shocked* by the price of getting my hair done in Jamaica, so if I were to live my life in J, and not US dollars, I would probably do my hair myself.
Okay, I’m rambling now. I hope you don’t mind!
