"When the quarantine first began, I had fresh knotless braids installed that lasted all of three weeks before my hair was screaming to come out. I extended the braids for six weeks in quarantine and it was the easiest maintenance for me. I have short natural hair that I usually wear in a buzz cut, and once I took my braids out, I saw more growth than I've seen in a while. I can't go to my barber right now, so my natural hair is in sort of an awkward stage. I tried finger coils for the first time last week, and after-three and-a-half hours, I completed them. It's not perfect, but it'll do.
My plan is to rock finger coils for the week, wash my hair, and do it again. Can I sit for three hours coiling my hair every Saturday? I guess I'll just have to find out." — Helena Joseph, associate managing editor at Wiley Publishing
