So I have been battling with conquering the braid out as well as my growth challenge. I haven't really seen any change in my length because it hasn't been long enough to expect to see a change.
I am in fact getting good at braid outs. As you can see I was able to get results worth busting out the camera for! YES! Success!
Its nice to have something different than my typical wash n go's each day. Its also nice not to have my hair dripping wet every single day...but as the weather gets hotter I may be returning back to my wet roots (literally).
As far as my growth challenge, Ive been applying MTG to my scalp once a week and massage it well into my scalp. I also have been wearing protective styles more often like buns and pin ups in addition to my braid outs. I plan to incorporate more "babying" to my ends each night before retiring to ensure that I retain them. My ends tend to be very dry, not necessarily split or damaged just rough to the touch. I will do a light dusting this evening with my shears (its IMPORTANT to have good shears for your ends). I spotted some stray split ends (which is very normal) but I need to get rid of them ASAP! I will check my length at the end of each month. I use the tattoo on my back as an indicator lol....I want my hair to ultimately be at the end of the tail of my hummingbird...that would be a bit past APL approaching BSL (stretched not straightened)
To achieve this style I separated my hair in about 10-12 sections lightly misted my hair with my master moisture mix (water, aloe vera juice, peppermint oil and lavender oil), sealed in with a small amount of Mango Coconut Sunshine (available at www.morningdewhair.com) and braided each section. Once each section is braided I rolled each braid with a flexi rod (5/8 inch) and covered my hair with a satin bonnet for the night.
Till Next Time
Growing Strong :)
