I think I’ll join you ladies. I’m finally going to give long term protective styling a try. I’ll be going from wash to wash in twists. I’m aiming for two weeks as my starting point, and hopefully moving to 4-6 weeks in twists at a time
today was a great wash day.... i made an amazing prepoo concoction that really did my hair right. It was a mix of coconut milk, 1 avocado, 1 banana, aloe vera powder, honey, my herbal oil mix, and a lil bit of shea moisture manuka honey and mafura oil dc.
I left that on for 45min to an hr with my hot head on. After that i shampooed and then dc'd with a mix of honeyshandmade honey hydration hair mask and coconut & hibiscus conditioning mask with my hot head for 30 min. After that was washed out i applied mielle organics white peony, then kinky curly knot today, followed finally by shea butter. After applying the products to a section i braided it to stretch.
My hair is now in 10 braids in a bun... I'm going to leave them in until i go out on the weekend.
it was!!!!!! and best of all the recipe makes alot. So i put the rest in the freezer for next time i wash... i may get up to 3 prepoos out of this one batch.... this is def going to be a reg thing for me from now on... i'm looking for some major health and growth from my hair this yr ....That pre-poo sounds so yummy!!!
this looks so good!!!!
Hair Tea Stimulation Blend
A blend of specially selected organic herbs and botanicals that may help with excess shedding and hair loss.www.chagrinvalleysoapandsalve.com
i actually think i'm gonna infuse the herbs in an oil blend to oil my scalp.... its cheaper to get this than buying a bunch of bulk herbs.This sounds like a lovely tea rinse!
ur hair is gorge....1. What is your primary style (twists, braids, bunning, etc.)? Lately I've been throwing rope twist using my own hair into a bun. Before that, i was doing mini braids but they require too much manipulation during take down.
2. What is your style maintenance regimen?
I moisturize when needed and re-do when my hair starts webbing (usually around week 5). I've been able to go as long as 9 weeks without washing my hair during the winter but I'll have to go back to once a month washes during the hotter months.
3. Are you natural, relaxed, transitioning?
natural
4. What do you hope to achieve from the challenge?
i used a paddle brush back in January on straightened hair and it caused breakage so now I'm trying to grow out the damage and get to MBL all over my head (growing out an undercut in the back of my head)
5. How often will you restyle your hair?
hopefully only once every 5 weeks or as needed
6. Include Starting Pic
pics in pink cami were stolen from another challenge I'm in (pics taken on feb 8, 2020) because i didn't feel like taking a twist down for a length check. pic of bun from today
