Basically this is what I know about tree braids

There are 2 kinds of Tree braids: (1) extensions are braided into cornrows with hair strategically left out to give the appearance of microbraids

(2) hair is braided in single individual braids just llike standard micros except hair is left out in in a fishbone like pattern to hide braid and give fullness

I'm going for the first kind. I've seen them done with straight and curly hair.

I kinda just rolled my hair today (took out my tired cornrows) and I like it!

Put a headband on it and I really like it!

I just researched tree braids and found a phenomenal braider in my area. Thanks jprayze for the information, I was going to get medium box braids but I love this much, much better.

Back in a bun today. Loving this mucho. I may get some S-Curl for the L in my LOC method. I've juiced before using Care Free Curl and Hawaiian Silky when I was transitioning and my hair loved. Think it may be time to revisit it. JJamiah swears that I'm BSB but I don't think so just yet. If I keep my moisture and protein balance right, then hopefully I make BSL by September. Fingers crossed!

Thanks Foreal! I'm very glad to hear from someone it worked for. How many times a week did you use it for?

I used it every day straight not mixed with oils. It took me from a little below shoulder to apl in about 2 months. Some people report headaches using it straight. I don't have a sensitive scalp. fifigirl

Eta jprayze got amazing growth from it as well.

This BKT has allowed me to wash and go this past week and I'm loving it. Some of my hair is still straight :( but started to wave up slightly. I did a twist out this past weekend, but I didn't allow my hair to dry all of the way. #silly goose I'm going to try again this weekend.
 
Yesterday I did an oil rinse with coconut oil. It was the truth! I'm doing one every wash now.

I also noticed that there is a difference between regular coconut oil and the extra virgin kind on my hair. I have to always use extra virgin.

That's awesome! I bought some synthetic hair that I want to use...it is sort of wavy/curly.

Yes and I just started using it again this month....this time straight like Froreal3 said. That's how I got the best growth with MN. The only thing is right now I am in a style that prevents me from getting to my scalp so I had to take a break anyway.
 
ImanAdero I like your bun/twist style!!

I did a braid out for the first time in months. It took me 20 minutes to moisturize, detangle and put in 5 braids. :-( No wonder I don't do this so often any more. I'm 16 weeks post touch up and 18.5 months into my transition to texlax. I like the thickness the texlax gives me but I love the shininess and lack of frizz of the bonelaxed ends. Maybe I'll start texlaxing a little bit straighter. Or maybe I'll start using cones again. I don't know what to do.

When I pull on my hair it's below the top of my bra strap!

^^^VERY cute ImanAdero!! Sassy and work professional. Love it. Do you remember how you did it so you can recreate it again?

It was really easy! Just loosely flat twisted the two aides of my head, pinned it in the back so it wouldn't come undone and pushed a headband back to create a little hump and make it look more donut than two separate flat twists.

Dasssit!

I would like to join this challenge!

~Current hair length-APL
~Relaxed/Natural/Texlaxed/Loc'd-Natural
~BSL goal month-December
~Current Reggie and styling choices- I listen to my hair needs and adjust accordingly...I mostly do twist outs though..
~What do you plan on changing (if anything) to make it to BSL?- I plan on take much better care of my ends now that my hair is longer..
~Post a beginning picture-explained in the paragraph :spinning:
 
I took my braids out last weekend. I know...only three weeks. But I was in and out of the ocean water so much and washing my scalp, so they looked pretty messy. I can't stand going to work looking messy, so I took them out.

I twisted my hair up and threw a wig on. I'm in swim class and training for a half marathon. I need to look professional/neat while doing all this activity and I believe this might be the best way for now.

I have an appointment Saturday to get some cornrows to rock under the wigs. And I just ordered two more that should arrive next week.

And here's my official length check pic. It's a bit early b/c I'm gonna be flying back to NOLA soon after length check day and I'm gonna have it twisted and hidden away for a few days before I leave. DH is getting better at taking pics :lol:
