Traveling with Natural Hair (Part 1)

I leave in one week. ONE week. I am not ready.
Aside from a long list of **actual assignments** that I have yet to complete (I'll post more about those later), I have a problem that needs to be faced before I board my flight:

My hair. 


I love my hair and I'd love to wear it out, but I don't know how I will manage it for 4 weeks without copious amounts of coconut oil and trader joe's conditioner. Additionally, I'm going to be out learning things and I don't know if I will have time to be twisting and detangling my hair. Blaghhh... so basically I have some choices to make:

  • Wear twists (and pray they last for most of the 4 weeks)
  • Just go with it, bring lots of conditioner, and hope for the best
  • Get professional twists done that will actually last 4 weeks... this might be the best choice, even though I don't really want to...
Part 2 will have the final decision... so stay tuned!
