I washed my hair last week and re-did my braids. Ya girl IS getting a lil better. I did 9 braids this time and they came out a lot better than my first go round.
They're still on the fuzzy side though. I'm thinking maybe I'm not braiding tight enough and/or small enough. So my next go round, I'll try to do a couple extra braids, braid a lil tighter and see if that helps any.
I plan to keep this set in for 2-3 weeks. I'm going to really shoot for 3 though and I'm going to try still washing my hair weekly with the braids in.
I do blow dry my hair so that I can stretch it and braid, which is another reason why I want to shoot for leaving these in for 3 weeks. I use my KBB Hair Milk as a leave in and blow dry on the low heat setting. Once I've completed it, I add a lil more of the hair milk to my hair and seal with an oil (this time I used jojoba oil).
***Veering off the current topic of discussion.... I will say though, that stretching my hair has greatly reduced the "fairy" knots (which I need to do a separate post on), hair that tangles on itself and forms knots, that show up in my hair.
My hair is growing into a stage in length where if I wear it in it's natural kurl pattern state in like a wash n go type style, it tangles on itself. So after July, I had to nix wash n go's and started employing styles that stretch my hair: braid outs mainly.***
