Lurkee have you tried pin curling the ends and putting a silk scarf on at night?
When you wake up take it all down and shake it out
livinthevida Do you mean to pin curl the braidout after a day or just my hair?

Lurkee you can do either one and still get great results! I use to do braid outs with hair gel or V05 way back in college worked wonders! When I didn't want to do over the braid I just curled the ends like small buns and put my handkerchief around at night. I took it all out in the AM this style lasted me all week

@DanceOnTheSkylines I took a quick glance over at NappyNFree's videos remind me a lot of YouTube's ImpatientDieter videos with the text and visualization images. I like that she's easy to follow and really detailed

ok i do not like Silk Elements! i will not be using this stuff again. it made my hair feel coated and now i am having a hard time detangling it. i told my mother what was going on and she made some smart arse comment. i swear if she wasn't my mother i would have hurt her feelings. i still might check her in a nice way.
i am sticking to Suave and CON. everything else is a miss right now.

Mhmm, I like YouTubers who keep it simple. Their regimen is like 1-2-3.

Thanks Lurkee! I'm natural and have 0 experience using proteins on my hair. How often do you think I should do the treatments? Every 6 weeks sound good?

So I did a warm oil prepoo with castor oil on my edges, tea tree/jojoba oil on my scalp, and coconut oil on my edges. Now I'm too sleepy to shampoo. I can do it in the morning, right?

make sure your plastic cap and scarf are on tight!
I have on a plastic cap, scarf, AND my winter granny cap. (I got that idea from Tressbuzz). I'm using my own body heat!Attachments

Today was my first time using the shescentit tahitian vanilla coconut leave in spray. oh.my.gosh. my hair feels amazing. Its so soft, detangled, shiny but not greasy looking, and smells great! Today was wash day so i clarified with my dr bronners castille soap/baking soda/water/oil/bentonite clay mix. DC's with giovanni SAS, did an acv rinse to seal, sprayed with aloe vera juice, the added the she scent it. Loved my results. Anyway, Im noticing ALOt of new growth in my cornrows, and Ive only had em for what, 2/3 weeks? Idk if its from the MN, sulfur, castor, frequent cowashing, idk. Also Ive been on a green smoothie fast maybe thats it?

AyannaDivine I am relaxed but I have been helping my sister on her hair journey and she is natural and her hair loves Motions CPR which is a light protein. We usually use it when she removes her braids so protein is not a set part of her routine. I think you should pay attention to your hair and do the strand test. If your hair feels hard, snappy and brittle then go for moisture but if it is mushy and stretches forever then use protein but try and use a light one first because it is easy to tip the over way with protein overload.
Hope this helps.

Angela4769 this is so clever! My silk scarf NEVER stays on. I have not thought about using a scarf and a cap. Very good idea. Maybe not in summer though.

I would think it would be even better in summer. You know how we (I) like to keep the A/C on freezer mode in the summer!

i haven't finger combed my curls out yet or flat ironed my roots. don't know what i am going to do with my hair yet. i just my moisturize my new growth and bun it, or put in a pretty clip. i am coming down with a cold and just don't feel like going out or doing anything today. my hair feels really nice though. after i rinsed my hair out, i used Keracare leave-in CON Leave-in, PM Super Skinny Serum and rolled my hair. i slept with the rollers in. too lazy to get under the dryer.
