Clogin’ up the drain
10 am shampoo and condition
Suds and curls run down my back
10:45 am deep conditioning
Pillow soft curls
Get stuck in between the teeth of the comb
Detangling is the worst
Can’t forget the shower cap
12:00 pm twist beyond compare
This is gonna take a minute
Let me find a good show on Netflix
12:45 pm one section at a time
Two down three to go
These twist gone be FYREEEE
Just about half way there
1:25 pm I CANT FEEL MY ARMS
One section left
The pain almost over
2:00 pm Victory Is Mine !!
Ugh
My neck is wet
