Just got my boxs braids out, my twa is coming along! (Pics!)

[sungtongs]

Ah! Those braids were driving me crazy, it's so nice to be able to wash my hair properly and give my scalp a good scratching . Maybe I'll do senegalese twists in the Spring...maybe.

I had my braids in for 5ish weeks, so I think this was pretty good.

this morning

and I was so scared when I washed my hair! And I know yall said there would be shed hair...I thought it was a joke. I thought my hair was falling out in the shower .

I think my hair is 3c/4a? Maybe? I have tighter curls on the back of my head.

Just showin' you guys my progress.

 

[~~HoneyComb~~]

Your curls are beautiful and your hair has really grown!!

 

[brucebettye]

Great progress for 5 weeks!!!!!!! Your curls are so pretty.

 

[Janet']

^^^^I totally agree...I'm no good at hair typing though...

 

[Chocolatelove2010]

Nice progress!

Your hair looks like mine.. so I'd say 3C.

 

[diadall]

Great progress. I think it looks so soft and beautiful.

 

[sweetlaughter]

Amazing progress for 5 weeks. Keep doing what you're doing because it's clearly working.

And you look like a 3C to me.

 

[sungtongs]

thank you guys

ok, 3C it is!

 

[EllePixie]

Awesome growth!!! Since you say your curls are tighter at the back (mine are too) I'd say 3c/4a like you think.

 

[CaliDiamond]

That is amazing growth! Your hair is so shiny and luscious too. Go on girl.

 

[Platinum]

That is some great progress for 5 weeks.

Great job! What is your regimen ?

 

[sungtongs]

Great job! What is your regimen ?

Um, haha. I don't sleep with silk stocking caps...or anything. Nor do I have silk sheets, a silk hat, silk headrest cover, etc. That part I just let go.

I use Carefree Curl Gold and Rosewater (whole foods carries this) to moisturize most of the time. When I'm out of that, I use Elasta QP Mango Butter and Garnier Silk & Shine leave-in. When I do remember to seal, I use Dabur Special Hair Oil with Lemon. I like using v05 Extra Volume shampoo and conditioner.

I only wash with shampoo 1-2x a week at most. Usually I cowash daily if not every other day.

When I remember, I take a B Complex and Biotin w/ Liquid Centrum.

When I had braids, I used African Royale BRX Braid & Extensions Sheen Spray and Rosewater on my hair and washed every 2 weeks.

Thank you!
I posted my regimen above. I really keep my product usage to a minimum, take vitamins when I remember, and don't sleep with a silk cap or silk pillowcase.
It seems to work for me but I'm well aware that what I do might not work for everybody.

While in braids, I just sprayed it with braid spray and rosewater w/cinnamon in it. That's it. I tied my hair up at night...maybe 8 times in the 5ish weeks I had them in?
They got really fuzzy, but I didn't mind.

 

[Shadiyah]

you hair looks great...

 

[Spongie Bloom]

Fantastic progress, was your hair stretched out in the first pic?

No, it wasn't stretched at all in the first pic. It's kinda stretched in the second one.
