Prepoo and Finger Combing

Hey Everyone,
When I took down my yarn braids I followed the takedown routine that Blackonyx77 had in her hair video, except that instead on VO5 I used pantene anti breakage. Instead of using my comb to detangle I used my fingers to remove as much shed as possible before using my modified faux denman brush to detangle. When I did detangle with my denman I realized that the process was much smoother than when I did my detangling from my box braids, I believe finger combing have attributed to that. After detangling I placed my hair in medium twists all over and then I wash and deep conditioned my hair. The shampoo I used was Sheamoisture Raw Shea Butter shampoo and I used Alikay Naturals Honey Sage Deep Conditioner. After I rocked a twistout for about a week. So that's all for now just wanted to give you guys a quick update. Much love and God Bless.

Yarn Braids

Hey Everyone,
This summer has been an exciting and unpredictable but overall fun. Through this season I have learned how to add extentsions to my hair so that I'll have a protective style that lasts longer than three weeks. Some of the styles that I learned worked great for me such as box braids, kinky twists, and now yarn braids. In the past I did yarn braids but they didn't last longer then a month for various reasons, but I decided to try them again. I love the look of them and how light they are. I used the same yarn that I used before which is the Red Heart brand the material of this yarn is acrylic and the colors that I chose was black and a reddish brown for a few highlights. So far I have been getting a lot of compliments and maintenance has been easy. Since I have dry scalp I mist it with water and seal in the moisture with my oil mix. So far,So good! Enjoy the pic of my yarn braids below.Much love and God Bless!!!
