Ok so I was inspired once again by the wonderfulness that is LHCF and decided to try my first braid out in a long time. I did a pre-deep condition with my beloved Pantene Mask and Nexxus Humectress, sat under the dryer for about 15 mins. Did a wash that consisted of V05 Moisture Milk Conditioner (the Passion Fruit Smoothie one that has soy milk protein) and a small amount of Allways Moisturizing Shampoo which is pretty gentle, oil rinsed with EVOO, then washed out with warm water. I finished off with conditioning one more time with Pantene Moisturizing Hydrator (to counter the protein in the VO5).
Then I put in a bit of Salerm 21 and Aphogee Pro-Vitamin Spray for my Leave-ins, braided in 6 braids, applied a little Elasta QP Mango Butter to the braids, sat under the dryer for a little while, then took a nap cause I got tired and let it air dry a little more. I unbraided and it was still a little damp so I went under the dryer on low and a warm temp to finish up the drying (took about 5 mins). This is the finished product which is SOOOOO SOFT AND TANGLE FREE! Lots of slip and shine. I did add a bit of SAA to my conditioner and moisturizer the other day so this is definitely contributing and it's so nice. I'm going to do this style more often! I love having this natural look, it's hiding my feet of NG VERY VERY WELL!
