WHAT I DO(DID) BEFORE BRAIDS :::: PRE-BRAIDS :)

So I was on a no-braids-till-July journey. I failed :(.

I just wanted to focus on recovering my edges after quite a number of braids. Even though braids are protective styles your roots are still stressed in it… your ends and body have protection though

I was not usually into the whole before-protective style preparation… I would usually just have a normal wash day and thread it for the next day. My sister though encouraged me try this whole protective style preparation.

My hair was is two-strand twists. I took them out … spent quiet a long time detangling. :(

I went straight to shampooing (No I do not pre-poo… no reason though)… after I had a protein treatment… then deep condition.

What products did I use?

      ·(ORS) ORGANIC Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise… I used this for the protein treatment. Did I like it? Not 100%. My hair felt a little tough after.

     My sister says I probably had that feeling… because my hair was finally balanced. She explained that I hardly have protein treatments or I did not have a lot of protein based products (true… most of my products are water based).

    ·Beautiful Textures Rapid Repair Deep Conditioner… it brought my hair back to almost-normal



After this was threading so I did not have to use heat for stretching.

Why was all this important? Since my hair was going to be away for a while… it needs all the strength it could get…lolJ .

Well this was the preparation…nothing too extraordinary. You should give it a try
