Have you forgotten how important it is to BRAID YOUR HAIR AT NIGHT?!

[ladysaraii]

This is funny, I put my hair in plaits last night and was just thinking this morning how nice they felt

I agree, OP. I have done this for years. (See my avatar...I do this braid and pin it up). I airdry all the time and always braid my hair overnight to let it partially dry, let it loose during the day to finish drying, and re-moisturize/re-braid for the rest of the day and night unless I have to go out. I mainly keep my hair braided all the time in 1-4 braids whenever I'm at home...which is 90% of the time. It helps tremendously with keeping the ends moist, and my hair is retaining mega length b/c I leave it alone and protected.

I'll be using twists until I learn how to braid.

Do you mean plait (hanging down like a twist) or braid (to your scalp)? If you mean plait, you just divide the hair into three rather than 2.....it's far easier than braiding. If you can twist, you can plait...I promise ya!

I still braid mine that's one of many hair tips our mom taught us that stuck with me.

I keep my hair in plaits most of the time and my hair stays moisturized with less tangles.

I prefer a bantu knot versus a plait or twist. I get no tangles with the knots. Also, my result is a pretty loose curl versus a wavy tangled mess.

you dnt have to know how to braid to the scalp..just braid the hair in plaits.
