ok. I'm over it!

 So even though my braids are still hanging in there, it was time.  I'm tapping out.... ready to put my hands in my own hair again.  It's been a good 6 to 7 weeks.

My scalp was still clear.  I was using a mixture of lavender Jamaican castor oil and coconut oil on my scalp and braids.  I also spray with water and leave in.

So I took my hair out which took a few hours!  And that's what I was left with, a big poofff lol. 

I co washed and conditioned my hair.  I finger detangle in the shower with the conditioner.  And I sprayed my fav leave in. 

Elasta QP olive oil and mango butter.

Yes shrinkage is a real part of my life lol.

I simply re twisted my hair, (which took another few hours), using a mixture of the same two oils mentioned above a lil glycerin, my home girl T hooked me up with, a lil aloe, and sealed with

Hair milk styling pudding by Carol's Daughter because I had some left.  Leaving them in over night and going crazy with my fro in the a.m.

I don't know how long my hair is but it looks to have grown.  I was itching to straighten it it has been 6 months minimum, but after seeing my growth I'm interested to see what another 6 months of growth without heat would look like...

 Hmm
