So....I washed my braids (5 Nov 11) with Suave mango mandarin shampoo and conditioner. I wouldn’t normally use Suave but a lot of youtube videos I’ve been watching show many young ladies using this product. I have been using Nexxus, Pantene, Miss Jessies’s, and other higher priced products and I have not really been too impressed with them so I decided to try something new.At $1.99 for a 22.5 fl oz bottle it is by far the best priced product. This is what it looked liked washed and dried. I put some coconut oil on the hair and scalp and African Shea Butter on the braids to try and reduce the fuzziness. I will add some more tonight and put my scarf on. I don’t think I will curl the ends this week. I’ll just let them hang. Since I am in the military, I just put my hair into a small bun in the back so it won't hang below my collar and it is working for me. Some of the braids did come loose, in the back so I just twisted them back up because I couldn't re braid them. So this style is a great option especially if need a protective style. However, it is kind of cold here in VA and I did not appreciate the cold air blowing across my scalp so I may leave the braids to the summer months.
How are your braids holding up? I know it is difficult to get the all natural ones to last for an extended period of time.
ReplyDeleteI only had them in about 3 weeks total. They started coming loose and I was tired of trying to rebraid them myself so I let them go. I will do this again but probably not til summer time.
