Crown and Glory 2023!

Ordered the same hair but with the 27 instead of 30. Going to ask my friend to help me take my braids out because you can re-use this hair. I don’t want to cut it out.


Taking it down Friday evening hopefully.

Took my crochet braids out. Sitting in a henna gloss. I’m going to rinse it out in a few , shampoo , condition, and a 10 minute deep conditioner. Add leave in conditioner and revair.


My hair feels fuller and looks longer. I’m going to just pull it out slightly tonight and then tomorrow a little more so I can get my crochet braids reinstalled.

I feel so relieved that all my hard work is paying off. My unstretched hair is visibly longer. My stretched hair is visibly longer and thicker. I feel good about my routine going into 2025.

I did tweak it slightly because this henna gloss covered my grays nicely.

4 weeks braided style. Infusium Pro and Taliah Waliah Bodifier on my cornrows under the crochet braids.

Take down. Henna Gloss. Bondbar shampoo conditioner. Deep conditioner. (Thinking about Olaplex leave in and Sarenzo Batana leave in)

Solid vitamin supplement routine
