Braids

One thing I have noticed since going natural is that my hair and I have TOTALLY different plans for it! So, my hair was tired of being in those twists. I braided my hair and washed the product out with JohnsonJohnson baby shampoo, put a bit of conditioner on the braids before rinsing, rinsed my hair, applied more conditioner, and rinsed with warm water after my shower was done. I took out the braids one by one and applied my Taliah Waajid leave in and sealed with my shea mix.
Took out the braids this morning. Didn't seperate a lot. I want a defined look for my friend's 21st birthday celebration at Mirage Nightclub in Richmond, VA!

6 Months Post Chop

Today makes 6 months since I did my BC. (It is also 3 months until my 21st Birthday!)
Last night I decided to flat twist a section of my hair because I liked the idea from this video. I did a braidout on the rest of the hair and slept with a satin scarf on my satin pillowcase.

Braid Out

Did another braid out. This time I did somewhat of a french braid/cornrow for more volume & definition. Didn't do many braids, no more than 15. Took me about 20 mins before bed, but only because I was put-puting around doing other things, hehe. I sprayed with some regular ol' H2O and added my shea mix to my hair then proceeded to braid. Gotta start back protective styling at night to cut back on these SSK's. They are sooo not the business!

My First Braid n Curl (BNC)

I did my first ever braid out since doing the BC! I used my shea mix on my hair and sealed my ends with coconut oil. At the end of the braid, I twirled my hair around my finger to get a coil at the end. The next day I took it down, threw on a headband, and pulled some hair out in the front to create a bang effect. I loved this style!
