To weave or not to weave - that is the question..

I am tired of my hair. I mean, I love it but I'm tired of trying to find new ways to manage it. Plus, I don't know what has happened over the past two or so years, but it is not as healthy and thick as it used to be. I guess that just comes with time and age, but it makes me unhappy.

So now I'm thinking about getting a really nice weave and wearing that for a few months to give my hair a break. What do you think? I mean, I've worn them a couple times in the past for brief periods of time, but I've never been comfortable with sporting anything fake for long periods of time (those are my own personal issues that I have to deal with).

I don't know. I almost feel like I should wait until summer when I really get frustrated, but I want to do it now. Will it cause more damage if I do that - or will it take some of the stress off of my own hair? Man, I don't know. Let me just take some vitamins and shut up.

OK, so even if I don't get a weave, what else can I do? This ponytail has been going on for three weeks now. I am trying to hold off on pressing it until my birthday which is 5 weeks away. I guess I could twist it again - but after that seminar about corporate culture and all that, twists aren't really a "Corporate" look. Ugh - the plight of the black woman.
