I am doing the braid challenge. I had my individual braids (kankelon hair -- sp?) for 9 weeks. I basically followed the braid lady's routine and the braid challenge routines depending on how I felt.
For a little background information, last summer, I had my hair in kinky twist and eventhough I was moisturizing my hair, I lost a lot of hair when taking out the twists AND my hair was DRY
This time, my hair was soft
! I did have build up around the edges but I just sprayed in a little leave-in detangler conditioner and worked my hair around the build up. I lost very little hair. I even thought that I should have more shedding than this! Also, after I took out each braid, I finger combed the hair, then applied a little leave-in detangler, and then combed the hair with a comb.
Afterwards, I did the clarify and deep conditioning and attempted a braid out which was not successful. My hair is so BIG and THICK! I am wondering if when you take out braids, does it take a little while for the hair to re-adjust?
Unfortunately, I don't know if and how much my hair has grown because I had a war against split ends before putting in my braids, resulting in a 3 inch cut. But the good news is, my ends are healthy! So for now, I won the war.
