I'm doneeee!!! This was by far the easiest experience I've had with installing braids. Took me about 8hrs. I'm trying to decide if I want to keep the ends straight or curly. For now, they will be straight.

These are great. You did an awesome job. Those are a good size that shouldn't be to hard to remove when it's time.
 
so i took down my PS because i've noticed i am getting breakage and split ends from the rubber bands i use.:oops: i am now in braided twists..i'm also 3 inches away from SL now on the left side..i gained an inch.:spinning: the back and right side still needs 4 inches..i believe those rubber bands and playing in my hair has caused me to not retain the past months..retaining length is so much important. :look:

Very nice. I never could figure out how to start the braid. I have tried several times.

Great job! It took me a week to put in some Senegalese twists! Lol
 
I forgot to say. The end of last year and all of this year I was dealing with thinning, and then a balding patch on my crown and my edges went Naomi.

The oil mixes didn't really make it budge that much in the end. Since I started Iron, vit C/Zinc, multivitamin and magnesium supplements (for other reasons) about 1.5 months ago my edges are growing back. Wondering if my hair is actually supposed to be a lil thicker all over since I must have been walking around with deficiencies. Lets see.
 
Had my first go at African threading today after washing my hair.

Hopefully this will help with retention and stretching. I did it quicker than I expected and hopefully in the future it will be faster and improved technique :).

You should. I've noticed that hair thickens before it has substantial growth so you are set up for some good growth right now.

I put in 2 strand twists tonight. They look so much better than the last time I did them. Just sticking to wearing flat twist for weeks at a time is paying off. I will wear the 2 strands until Friday and then go back to wearing flat twist through June and July. So maybe 2 strand twists every 2 weeks to let me see progress.
 
I've been looking at undercut videos, on utube, for the past hour. I'm about 60% sure I'm going to do it after I take my braids out. My plan is to do the undercut myself. I watched several videos of women doing their own undercuts and it doesn't seem so hard. I just won't have a design.
 
I was feeling some kind of way last night.

My hair is layered. The back appears longer and gives me a mullet-look.

Not cute.

I trimmed about half an inch off the back layer. Made my whole look different.

I was sad to cut ANY, but happy that my hair looks fuller and not so mullet-y.
 
So far I have
kinky curly knot today leave in
Kinky curly curling custard as a gel
Kera care hydrating shampoo (which I may change)
Shea moisture deep conditioner (I think the purification one)

Now to order them. Finding these products in the UK for an affordable price is hell! Luckily I won't be drenching my hair with them as I plan on making water my friend. Hopefully I will find some staples amongst these.
