For those in the Southern-Hemisphere … how’s your winter? Those of you enjoying your summer … *sigh* I wish I was up there with you all.
So … In January, I gave you details of my personal hair goals (Phro’s Hair Goals). One of the things I committed to not doing, was braiding my hair.
So here I am, in winter, trying to ensure that my hair doesn’t break excessively, while still dressing in a professional manner to coincide with my professional work life.
I’m an advocate for the dhuki. If it’s silk / satin, it’s a great way to hide your hair and minimise the time you spend messing about with it. Winter’s just settled in good ‘ol Melbourne, so if you see me around, you’re going to see my head gear too!
I’m covering my hair (pony, bun or dhuki) … giving it a break. The reason I’m not going to plait it, is cause I discovered that I have a sensitive hairline (sensitive hairline). So I’ve moved away from cornrows, and have adopted new ways of giving my growing hair a rest.
I’m currently 4 weeks post relaxer, and I KNOW I owe you a length and health check … Stay tuned!
Happy Monday!

I Like the dhuku but unfortunately can’t wear it to work. My hair is at that tricky length, its too short to bun or put in a ponytail but long enough to rub against my shoulders and clothes. What other protective styles can I try?
check out my hair topics on the right site. There’s one dedicated to protective styles I’ve tried. http://phrophro.com/category/protective-styles/
For most of your hair questions, start from that ‘Hair Topics’ section .. good luck with finding the right style for you
