The shrinkage is awful! Even from my Bantu knot out! Which can definitely be attributed to how small I made them, but it's healthy. I've recently been working on a regimen and its a lot harder than it looks. Especially when you're too lazy to sit down and write/type one out, but some of the products I have fallen in love with are

Darcy Botanicals Peach Kernel Hair Milk
Whipped Shea Butter to seal
Giovanni Smooth as Silk Deep Condish, with honey
And this coconut, distilled water, aloe Vera juice mix that I use as a leave in.

My hair is super soft, I just can't believe I've already come so far and you can't really see in the pictures, but my hair is about neck length when stretched, and maybe a half an inch from shoulder length. I'm so excited to see what else this journey will bring! I look at the pictures all the time of my bc and think " if that girl knew that in a year... This journey has helped me so much emotionally, mentally, spiritually. It was met with great opposition, but it was something I had to do for me, and I wouldn't do anything differently, except I would let's all those nasty comments roll right off my back! Started from the bottom, now I'm here :)


Gosh, I'm actually really bad at these updates..... anyways, anyone have questions comments
HHG Be Blessed :)

It's still a work in progress
But basically

Wash hair every Tuesday in four sections with whatever (I'm partial to cleansing conditioners

Then I deep condition and detangle with Giovanni SAS mixed with honey

Then I spray my hair with my coconut oil, aloe Vera juice, distilled water mix and band my hair

Then I style it however

Around the third day I retwist of do a braid out to help prolong the wash

And that's about it :)
 
Pretty girl with girl with a great and positive personality! You have done well.

Your bantu knots look really good. I get a lot of shrinkage from bantu knots, but they are so pretty so who cares :lol:.
