MICRO BRAIDS ...... 4 WEEKS LATER

IT HAS BEEN 4 WEEKS NOW THAT I MADE MY MICRO BRAIDS AND I AM GOING TO TAKE THEM OFF. I REALLY ENJOY THIS HAIRSTYLE BECAUSE WHEN MY BRAIDS BECAME OLD, YOU CAN RARELY SEE THE BRAIDS DEFINITION. THIS HAIRSTYLE LOOKED LIKE I MADE TWISTS WITH MY HAIR OR I LOCKED IT.

THE MAINTENANCE WAS SOOO EASY BECAUSE I USED A SHAMPOO THAT I MADE WITH  A NATURAL SOAP AND JOJOBA OIL. I WASHED MY HAIR ONCE A WEEK AND EVRY MORNING AND EVENING I WET MY HAIR AND  APPLY A MOISTERISER FROM DARK AND LOVELY.

I ALSO USED THIS OPPORTUNITY TO FOLLOW A CASTOR OIL CHALLENGE AND I AM NOT FINISH WITH IT.
I AM GOING TO LET MY HAIR " REST " FOR ONE WEEK THEN AGAIN I WILL MAKE THE MICRO BRAIDS . I AM TOTALLY ADDICT TO THIS STYLE.

THESE ARE   LOCKS ? NO THESE ARE BRAIDS !

YOU CAN NOT REALISE THAT MY HAIR ARE BRAIDED.

EVEN CLOSER IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE BRAIDS CLEARLY.

I LOVE THE  CURLY EFFECT ON THE ENDS.

NOW I CAN GO TO SLEEP BECAUSE TOMOROW I AM GOING TO WORK AND IT IS COLD AND RAINY IN LONDON TODAY. BRRRRRRR

THE BLOW DRYING AND ALSO... THE MICRO BRAIDS

I NEED TO CLARIFY THAT ALL THIS STAGES HAVE BEEN DONE WITH MY SISTER BECAUSE SHE WANTED MICRO BRAIDS TOO AND I CAN ' T DO ALL THE BRAIDS ON MY HEAD BY MYSELF. AND MY SISTER  IS NOT VERY GOOD AT DOING ANYTHING WITH HAIR SO YOU NEED TO IMAGINE THE PROBLEM I HAD TO FACE. LOL

THE BLOW DRYING ...

THEN I BLOW DRIED MY SISTER ' S HAIR......

WHEN WE FINISHED  WE STARTED THE BRAIDS. WE TOOK OUR INSPIRATION ON YOUTUBE. WE SAW A LOT OF VIDEOS BUT WE DECIDED TO COPY - PRETTYDIMPLESO1-
BECAUSE WE HAVE ALMOST THE SAME LENGTH. THE METHOD IS SIMPLE  WHEN YOU BRAID THE HAIR YOU DO NOT FINISH THE END. THEN YOU CO WASH YOUR HAIR TO MAKE THE BRAIDS MORE DEFINED.
IT IS VERY SIMPLE AND SOOOO PRACTICAL. MY SISTER JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS HAIRSTYLE.

I STARTED BY DOING MY SISTER HAIR BECAUSE I AM BETTER THAN HER FOR DOING THIS.

I FINISHED HER HAIR IN 2 HOURS. THEN SHE MADE MY HAIR . IT WAS HER  FIRST TIME TO BRAID AN ENTIRE HEAD SO I WAS A BIT WORRIED BY THE RESULTS.

NOW I DON' T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED THE DIFFERENCE WITH MYS SISTER AND ME...  BUT MY BRAIDS LOOKED ALREADY "OLD" BECAUSE  MY SISTER IS NOT USED TO DO IT. BUT I WAS PROUD OF HER BECAUSE SHE MANAGED TO FINISH MY HAIR IN 3 HOURS. NEXT TIME IT WILL BE BETTER. LOL

MY SISTER 'S HAIR BY ME

MY HAIR BY MY SISTER

TO FINISH WE JUST CO WASHED WITH OUR BASIC CONDITIONER. WE DID NOT PUT SOME CREAM BECAUSE  IT WAS ENOUGH MOISTERISED WITH THE CASTOR OIL.

MY SISTER' S FINAL RESULTS....

MY FINAL RESULTS .....

VERY GOOD JOB SISTER. LOL

2 HEADS IN 5 HOURS ! IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. ESPECIALLY WHEN IN ALL THE VIDEOS WE WERE WARNED THAT IT WILL TAKE 2 DAYS ....FOR SOME. BUT THEY ARE DOING THEIR OWN HAIR  I THINK IT IS WHY IT TAKE THEM A LOT OF TIME. 

THE DEEP CONDITIONING TREATMENT ...... BEFORE THE MICRO BRAIDS

BEFORE DOING MY MICRO BRAIDS I HAD TO DETANGLE PROPERLY ( IT 'S DONE )  AND NOW THE NEXT STAGE IS THE " DEEP " CONDITIONING TREATMENT. I MADE IT ONE WEEK AFTER THE DETANGLING.

I USED MY FAVOURITE NATURAL PRODUCTS : 
- 2 TSP OF PALM OIL
- 2 TSP OF YOGURT
- 1 YOLK
- 1 TSP OF COCONUT MILK
- A HAIR DYER AT MEDIM HEAT

THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS METHOD IS THAT THE CONDITIONER IS ALSO PLAYING THE ROLE OF A SHAMPOO. THE PALM OIL PLUS THE YOLK HAVE TOO QUALITIES. TO CLEAN AND TO NOURISH THE SCALP. IT ALSO HELP TO SMOOTH MY HAIR. THE COCONUT MILK AND THE YOGURT HAVE ALSO A PROPERTY TO HELP " TO RELAXED " NATURALLY THE HAIR.

AFTER APPLYING THE MASK / SHAMPOO / CONDITIONER I AIR DRIED MY HAIR AND WAIT ABOUT 1 HOUR  BEFORE RINSING. BUT YOU CAN WAIT LESS OR MORE.
THEN I RINSED AND APPLIED ONLY THE CASTOR OIL ON MY SCALP. BUT LIKE YOU KNOW IT IS A VERY THICK OIL SO WITH MY MASSAGES IT SPREAD ON THE LENGTH.
THEN I MADE 4 BRAIDS TO PREPARE MY HAIR FOR THE BLOW DRYING.

MY HAIR IS DRY AND UNWASHED FOR 1 WEEK

I PUT MY FACE MASK AT THE SAME TIME.

I USED ALL THE MASK ON MY HAIR.

I AIR DRIED MY HAIR AND WAITED 1 HOUR.

I RINSED MY HAIR AND CO WASH .

I APPLIED THE CASTOR OIL AND BRAIDED.

NOW MY HAIR ARE READY FOR PART 3 :  THE " DEEP " BLOW DRYING. LOL
