Wash day (1week late)


I washed up my braids last weekend in pretty much the same way as I have been doing every fortnight 

1. In sections and with diluted shampoo, I wash my roots, I carry out this process twice.

2. Rinse my braids thoroughly and apply instant conditioner to the roots and length of my braids and leave it there for 5 mins

3. I rinse out the conditioner and towel dry my hair

4. This time round I used the drier to help speed up the hair drying process, I thinkn before I gave up my hair was 30% dry and I opted to air dry the rest.

5. I moistured my scalp with a mixed of grapeseed oil and aussie leave in conditioner, to the length of my hair I used the aussie leave in conditioners. 

I am currently 15 weeks post, the longest I have been post with the help of braids.
I will wash my braids one more time and undo them in January, ready for my protein treatement and relaxer a week later.

My braids have really done well, and am hoping I get maximum length retention this stretch. 

Happy Hair Journeys Ladies! :-)

    1. Hi Andrea! My braids have really kept well, I will have them on for 2 more weeks and then will take them out, so that my hair line doesn't twist and break. :)
