Update: Ok so i lied about the less shells, I ended up using all and going out to buy more beads.
Last night took my hair out, it was late so there was no pre-prepping or anything. I jumped in the shower, wet my hair, realized i didn't comb out the shed hair
, jumped out to get a comb, admired my big fro....it was huge
, washed my hair in 2 sections (shampoo and conditioned), tried finger combing while washing conditioner out
(not sure about it but i am willing to try again when i have more time), braid in 4 sections and got out of the shower.
Then I undid each braid, divided each section in half, put conditioner on it, detanged, twist, took satin rollers and rolled them close to my scalp and bobby pin it, covered my hair and went to bed.
I'm planning on doing an experiment so i'll be back to update Sunday or Monday.
