Its been 3 weeks since I got my braids done and I've been enjoying the freedom. No daily styling; just spray water/coconut oil , and move( haven't had the time to buy another bottle of Olive Oil). The last 4 weeks have been really hot so I'm grateful for my chunky braids-my scalp gets to breathe.
The braids don't look as neat as when it was newly done because I spray water/coconut oil on it but my friends like it cause it looks more natural.Anyways I plan on wearing this for a month or more to give the mane some rest ( hope I don't loosen it anytime before like I always do J)
I have told some Nigerian readers that I have tight coils like most of them, but they refuse to believe. I guess it's because they see my hair after its been stretched out and not after water has touched it like in the pictures above.
My current regimen
- Every 2-3 days: spray water/coconut oil on the braids.
- Apply little Screwy Hair Butter (Juicy Fruity) to the hair sticking out of the yarn.
- Oil scalp with castor oil weekly(focusing on the edges) and
- Co-wash hair when it feels dry or dirty.
That's all for now. Remember to enjoy your natural journey and if you have any questions please send a mail to eskinks@gmail.com so we can help.
Peace,Love&Natural!
Looks great sis!!
ReplyDeleteOne more month sounds good but I understand you, I always miss my hair. You have tried oo. When I had box braids, they only lasted 5 weeks.

Thanks Funbi!
ReplyDeleteHm! This is the first time I'm keeping a style this long. I'll congratulate myself if I keep a style for 5 weeks...after 2 weeks I want my hair back. Well, with the yarn braids I have no excuse so I'll try my best to keep my hands off my hair.
They look great!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with your friends. Your yarn braids do look very natural. They look wonderful! And congratulations to you for the style longevity . . . I understand the feeling of triumph!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jen!
ReplyDeleteJazzWife, you understand my joy...I have never kept a style for more than 3 weeks:)
Your hair looks gorgeous, and my box braids have only lasted 4weeks really wanted them in longer!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tahrina. It took a lot for me to keep the style in for more than 3 weeks but when it's time to take it down, its best you do to avoid matting.
