I was gonna put this off again, but then I realized I wouldn't be able to take these braids out until the second week of February, and nah. Nah.
. Took them down last night after 7weeks.
Pre-Rx: Cassia oil (to help me get out the mats and tangles) and my diy coffee oil overnight and then neem oil in the morning on my scalp
Henna: Mixed less than 50g with yogurt and coffee applied on top of the pre-Rx
Clay (to help me get all the henna out): Bentonite, Rhassoul, coffee, acv
Shampoo: Keracare Hydrating Detangling
DC: glycerin, shea butter mix, hempseed oil, SM argan oil DC and conditioner. Then I added the ORS hairepair nourishing conditioner because my hair still felt dry/hard-ish even after the application of the SM DC's, which is never a good sign.
Leave-Ins: CON argan oil leave in, olive oil, giovanni direct leave-in, SM curl and shine conditioner, lottabody milk, ecostyler olive gel (I just kept applying different things until my hair felt soft enough after that henna).
Then I put my hair in 11 ponytails, braided each and added permrods at the end. Under my
softhood hoping this dries before I have to leave.
