What else can be done?

I am thinking of getting some braids for a while my husband thinks I am crazy because I just cut all my hair off, surely it is not a bad idea. Right now I am getting so tired with work and school and all and on top of that worrying with my children's hair. My hair is now at an awkward stage, it is very thick and curly, not too short but not long enough. I love my teeny weeny fro but just need a break from this ritual. I was thinking about doing a wash and then straightening it and wearing it like that for a while, I don't know, I even thought about a sew in. Don't worry, I know how to do hair, it definitely won't look homemade. I don't know I will make up my mind by this weekend.
