<\/div>\n

For the past five years, I have not had straight weave on my head.  My hair style has varied from braids to my permed hair to braids to my permed hair to braids — you get the picture.  In my defense, it’s been different types of braids: regular braids, regular twists, and kinky twists.  Hey, that’s three different types!  But thanks to someone, I decided to try straight weave again (after that first and only time I did it for someone’s wedding).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Two packs of 14 inch Premium Now 100% human hair later, I am one hot stunning goddess – if I do say so myself.  I wore the hair to a wedding, and well, let’s just say that men and women alike were gawking – partly because they had never seen me in long hair, but mostly because I just looked too hot. *Insert cough*  Actually, make that *Insert uncontrollable sneeze*<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, all was well and good at the wedding, but after the wedding, the question became: what on earth to do with 14 inches of hair?! [My own hair is about 7 to 8 inches long]. I tried to wrap it before going to bed as I do with my own hair, but 14 inches is not a joke. I was startled when I read the pack of hair, and it said “Tangle free,”<\/i> but of course, it’s tangle free! It’s human hair, isn’t it? Apparently, some other brands of hair – although also “100% human”<\/i> – are not tangle free.  The previous owners must have not used anti-tangle shampoo as babies.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Speaking of the previous owners, after watching an episode of Hunted<\/i> on ID<\/i> Channel the other day where a woman bought a home and was hunted by residual demons because the previous owners were devil worshipers, let’s just say I’ve been suspicious of my human hair. Who the heck owns this hair?? And which God did they serve? What nationality is the owner? Age? Favorite color? Favorite food? Marital status? Criminal report?  Kids?  Reason for selling hair?  Ehm… favorite quote in the bible???<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Naturally, my questions have gone unanswered.  Until I become pen pals with the original owner of my 14 inches of glory, I have been thinking of ways to preserve it<\/s> keep the thing out of my way while maintaining its beauty.  <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You’ve never seen the center of my head like this before<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Can you see the track in front?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This was not an easy job, I tell you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
…And this was the result<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I still don’t know if it was worth it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n
Not bad, but was it worth the stress? The following Sunday, I used a curling iron. The hair looked almost completely flat by the time I got to church – no thanks to the humidity.  My hair is now in four twisted braids. How’s that for convenience, curls, style, and maintenance!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of course, this still doesn’t answer my question: how human is human<\/s> who owns this hair I’m wearing?<\/p>\n

P.S.<\/b> By the way, have you noticed my wish list<\/a><\/b>? *batting eye lashes*<\/i><\/p>\n
