Hey ladies, I've been rocking braids for a while now, I wash, blow dry or air dry and braid and leave them for about 2weeks, undo and wash again... I want to try to wash my hair with the braids in them, let it dry and then redo the braids... Does anyone have any tips, oh and I'm 1 yr into my transition to natural if that makes a difference

Mjon912 since you're gonna redo them after you wash them and won't really worry about them frizzing up too much, I would just do the same routine you do when you wash your hair loose. To make it easier though, you can always dilute some shampoo in a squeeze bottle with water. That way you can get to your scalp easier.

That is exactly it!!! I swear while I'm at work someone is giving this cat crack!!! And when I finally taught him scratching is a no no, he starts biting!!! He is my first cat. I'm a dog person. I've had a dog non-stop since I was 16. I get them and they get me. I lost my mind getting this kitten.

Now I'm stuck with this crack head for the next 12-15 years!!!! My goodness!!!! :lol:

Girl, you are cracking me up! I have a crazy kitty too. He jumped up on top of my shower door while I was in the shower and wouldn't get off. He's mostly good though...I have one of those giant cages for when he's not. If I catch him in my living room or up on my table or counters he goes to jail...my DH calls him Otis when he is in jail...LOL
 
Been bunning all week. just moisturized with SSI honey rinse condish and sealed with coconut oil. now im rocking a baggy

I just bought grapeseed oil. I'm going to start mixing it into my AOHSR for dry DCing. and using it to seal instead of EVOO. I hope ceramides live up to all the hype.

I just received my order of AOHSR from vitacost, it's 44% off! :-)
 
Took the bun down, LOC'd the hair, and put it in 2 big braids. Same ish, different day :lol:

Lol mine is named Moshi. I got him a kitty jail too now! Driving me up the wall! My brother calls him Dennis the menace lol
 
I keep forgetting to try and put my hair in a bun and see if I can actually do one lol.

I swear I dont have enough hair to even be in this challenge but people insisted I do. I dont know if its hair anorexia or what but I cant do ANYTHING with my hair but do wng and wear it in a pony tail.

I think I'd feel handicapped if I even tried to braid it lol

His real name is Snowshoe (big paws) he's really a big sweetie pie. I hope Moshi learns how to behave...they are really pitiful in jail.

LOL CRACKHEAD hahaha. My pup is just too smart for his own good so he gets bored easily and does stuff he knows he's not supposed to, I.e. climb on tables n eat children's dinners, territorial peeing, getting into the trash. Chewing up all my expensive panties!! ... Woosah, hopefully his behavior changes a little after I fix him.

@growbaby I'm not gonna lie to you... The dog I got when I was 16 had a thing for the Vicki secrets til the day she died. IJS

Some habits they just stick with lol.

NikkiQ have you done this, did you end up with tangles and knots when taking the braids out?
Click to expand...

Yes I've done it before especially when my hair was cornrowed and I wanted to keep them in for weeks so I can wear my wigs. Never really had any problems with it. I just made sure that I used some condish with some good slip in the shower, rinsed it out and took them down one at a time to detangle with leave in and braid right back up.

I just finished my pre-relaxer wash and I'm exhausted, it took forever and a day to detangle. My hair seems to be in pretty good condition but I think I lost more hair than usual. I made 16 weeks post today and I'm so over this wig and ready to relax!!

Here is my hair ball...is yours larger or smaller??

GettingKinky I really like GSO. Gives a great shine. I want to try safflower because I think it has higher ceramide content.

And Great on that deal!


As for me, I just oiled my scalp with NJor's Growth oil, sprayed some Hairveda Hydrasilica Mist and sealed that in with a little Hairveda Green Tea Butter. I'm under a baggy for the rest of the night.
 
KiWiStyle that hairball is smaller than my usual amount. I think you're doing really well.

I've been damp bunning for the past two days and my hair feels so moisturized. I'm going to try and keep this going but maybe every third day I'll do a dry bun to give my hair some time to dry.

Mine is wayyyyyy larger.
 
Checking in! This week has been hectic due to work. I just finished taking out my braids. I plan on detangling, DC & then braid my hair for a braid out. I also think I'm going to flat iron my hair this weekend.

I agree! Same here. On wash day mine is about twice that!
 
Checking in: Tonight I will try to wash my hair. I've been under the weather, so I haven't done anything to it except oil my scalp and m&s every other day. I want to get a DC in.
 
Thanks ladies for answering! I guess I'm getting paranoid in the last days of my stretch, I need to woo-sah.
