It's a new week and a new blog. Welcome new subscribers! Thank you everyone for your support. This week I bought in my two best friends, my beautiful, smart, God fearing daughters. I was excited that they agreed to do this with me. I had them both choose what they wanted as a protective style. They both have two different hair types, while my oldest has a 3A hair type with a curly wavy texture. She also has color treated hair so we make sure we keep her appointments for her protein treatments. I wash both of their hair biweekly and then I do a deep condition treatment. Baby girl has 3C hair, she has is fully natural meaning its not chemical processed. She is very tender headed, so I always co-wash her hair first. She never likes to get her hair done but she always loves the outcome. I always use oils on both of their scalps to nourish because they get so dry.
I decided to do braids in Mia-Arie’s hair which is my youngest daughter. She wanted them medium but she wanted them longer. I normally don't do them long so I told her let's do it. Then she said “Mom lets add color to the ends also, I want to add some spice.” I was like okay. She was like “you usually say no.” I was like “girl you get braids all the time so we can do something different.” So once my oldest saw her sisters, she was like mom, I want mine done as well.
Markyla opted for smaller knotless long braids. I will be honest it took me 2 ½ days. Her natural hair is thick also, it’s long so we took many breaks. I used chi heat protector spray and blow dried both of their hair to keep their hair in braids for at least 3 to 4 times a year to give it a break. I also feel like it gives it time to bond and catch up. I always try to find ways to bond and show them how to care for themselves. I showed both of them how they started them and they finished the ends. They both catch on really fast, but they do a few then we just talk and laugh and they leave the rest up to me.
I purchased Spetra stretch eazy braiding pre stretch 24. I used 4/30 then I fed in 27 on the ends. It's basically my go to in braiding hair. I like the texture and feel of it. It works well for most hair textures. If you're looking to get a protective style rather braids, opt for crochet locs like I showed last week both are versatile and easy to get up and go styles.
I hope you all enjoy your weekend and be safe until next week. I'll leave you with these words
