      Right it's the best method ever. And you know it's good too to put in your hair cucumber water from Garnier. It's a leave-in conditioner treatment. That's what I use and just continue doing the same routine. My hair grew it's at 10 in right now I want to get to 12 and I'm good👍🏽

    YES!!!!! I wore block braids for 6 months straight in 2023. Took down 1 random braid once a month to monitor hair/scalp health. I washed every week. Deep conditioned. I will say take down process took a month. I went slow and took my time...6 months of matted hair. I gained 5.5 inches!! Doing it again in June.

      @hotbluflame2933 4 месяца назад +45

      @@nondumisogasser7155 yep. I put my hair in medium-small twists. I coat the ends with my favorite edge control. That keeps my ends in tact. I wash them, concentrating on my scalp, and condition them, concentrating on my hair. I make a braid spray of aloe vera juice, Infusium 23, and vegetable glycerin to keep them moisturized. I redo a section of them every couple of weeks. And I take them down one twist at a time, clean up the parts, and retwist them. I think maintaining the original parts is important because it dramatically reduces breakage.
      Hope this helps.

      I’ve seen someone plait/braid the roots first then twist it to prevent matting. But yes, these plaits are the truth for me 🙌🏾🙌🏾

      It would def be easier now since they would be shorter which means It’s faster to install and takedown. You can always try it and see if you need to wait a little bit longer

    Off topic but now that your hair is getting longer do you feel like you’re getting length dysmorphia? My current length I know neck length me would have dreamed to have but it never feels long enough! 😫

    • @SharatiaBanks
      @SharatiaBanks  4 месяца назад +4

      That’s an interesting thought. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s dysmorphia. While I’m enjoying my current length (even though she’s in plaits all the time lol) I do have a goal. Once I reach that goal I’ll either cut it or stay there. Any longer in my opinion is nasty 🤣🤣 respectfully lol it’s just too much hair (for me)

    I mean you should wash your braids. Others may not be able to. I have to remove mine bc if I wash my hair in braids or twist even just focusing on the scalp and being careful not to scrub too much I get horrible tangles.
    Remember yall what works for one may not work for all.
    But def try it out and see if it works for your hair
