How long can I have fake braids in? I want to do it for the whole school year but I don’t know how to keep it intact.

Hope this helps!

You’re asking for your hair to clump and break more easily once you take it down. Instead, keep them in max two months, but you should still wash your scalp regularly otherwise it’ll affect your real hair. Do weekly oiling of your scalp and wear a bonnet to sleep to help it not friz

Don’t do a full year, that’s not good

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

Once you take them, do them carefully and use oil when removing them from your hair since all that shedding is still intact in your hair and can lead to bigger breakage.
