So...I guess it has been a while since I updated this blog. First of all, I have an essay due this week and exams coming up next month. And...that is part of the reason why I have decided to give in to protective styling for the next couple of months.
Back when I officially started my Healthy Hair Journey, I decided to take 3 months to fully treat my hair, and enable my hair take in all the yummy nutrients I had deprived it of for the past couple of years. Well...April marks the end of my 3 month transition, and the beginning of my protective styling
I aim to avoid relaxers and go on a 6-month stretch. God willing it would work out. To achieve this, I would be protective styling, from braids to weaves (mainly braids though), and yes they are box braids. Not planning on losing the edges I have carefully groomed and pampered from January.
And...to make sure that my hair is not losing out on any nutrients, and to maintain length, I made my own spray bottle, made up of: glycerin, water, creme of nature leave in conditioner, olive oil, jamaican black castor oil, coconut oil and almond oil. Smells great and leaves my hair feeling moisturised. LOVE it!!!!!
Of course, I touch up my edges and my nape with JBCO every night. Still a must!!!
Happy Growing...
