Best I Ever Had

This is the best protective style I've ever done! Result of a day old braid out. I detangled and trimmed my hair the other day that stretched my hair. I decided to style my hair since it should've been a breeze after being stretched and detangled already..and it was!
Today, I re-twisted the two large flat twists in back of my head after splitting them in half and now there is four. I braided the hair out in the middle of the front of my head and did three flat twists on either side.
I used my flaxseed gel after moisturizing with water/EVOO/RO mix and my shea mix.
My 5 month mark was March 25th! Since this was such a success, and quick to do, it will be my go to protective style. I will be experimenting with more protective styles to help protect my hair from the elements.

Today, I wanted something simple because I have an extremely busy day ahead of me. I simple did a part down the middle and did two flat twists to the side (gently of course to be good to my edges)I pinned the hair down in the middle with bobby pins to avoid the cowlick look, and pinned them up with my black lace hair bows with diamond accented flower in the middle. I cowashed this morning with my V05 and put my shea mix into my hair and some flax gel to hold back my edges so the style lasts all day.
