I want to start french braiding my hair instead of doing a bunch of smaller braids, but I haven't been able to find a tutorial on YT that shows how to french braid on shrunken hair. I see lots of stretched hair.

Naptural85 I believe does a tutorial I believe. It's in my favs on YouTube i think. Like how to fake a French braid.

I have fallen off of posting.
On campus grad school + full time work + life = tired as hell

I've been bunning daily. Monday makes week 1 since my last wash. I'm going to try and make 2 weeks again.

Here are my weekend hair plans:
I will be PM styling Tonight - Sunday night
  • Moisturize the length of my hair with diluted oyin dew
  • Seal with a little red palm oil
  • Use bee-mine hold butter to slick my hair up into a bun (like you would use gel)
  • Re-bun my hair
  • Tie it down with scarf
  • Sleep


Do it all over again Sat pm & Sun pm

My current bun: Nothing fancy but it works

I love when you post styles Braun. I logged in today just to get a style you posted the other day. I want to replicate it. :)

I'm trying to keep us motivated! I have seen a few that I really want to try. I'm getting bored with my mini twists and braids.

Speaking of which, I need to take these twists down this weekend. I can't leave them in longer than 2 weeks or it's a complete mess.
 
gonna condition wash & dc my 18 day old twists. this time around things seem to be going even faster than last time. how the hayle has it been 18 days already? they dont look great at this point, but i dont plan on taking them out until 4 weeks are up.
 
BraunSugar- 1st off, Your hair is beautiful, and i've been enjoing and loving your blog.
I have a question for you- mini twists or mini braids-- which do you prefer and why?
TIA

Thank you yaya24! I prefer mini braids to mini twists. While I think that mini twists look better as a style because they have more volume, mini braids stay looking neater longer, do not tangle as much, can be washed without worrying about messing up the style, and can be kept in for much longer.

I kept my last set of mini braids for 5 weeks. They could have lasted another 2 easily, but I wanted to wear my hair loose for the new year. Mini twists can be installed and removed more quickly, but that is the only real advantage I see over mini braids.
 
Do you all Washington in twists? If I do, My fine strands get very tangled! So it seems like every week i have to release all my hair before retwisting? So much for low manipulation And finger detangling.....
 
I have not done mini braids ever. Just mini twists and they where cute, but they certainly did not last long. I started doing larger twists and never looked back.

I might do mini braids during my next wash and styling session (Next Saturday) and see how they work for me.

@Fine4s I may have rinsed my twists but full washing I never tried, because my ends would tangle (I also have fine strands)

I've washed in twists but my hair always ends up more tangled than I'd like to at take down. It's not so much of an issue with 3 strand twists, but definitely 2 strand twists.

These twists are really cute. I love the french braid! I decided that this is my last set of mini twists. Mine have to be medium or bigger because I can't deal with the tangles.

My hair is like this. I have so much shed hair if I don't get it out then I have matting at my roots. I would love to washi n twists but even with all the ways I have tried, it hasn't quite worked out. But I never give up :lol: Just waiting on my hair being long enough to twists.
 
I washed out my coils. Did it differently today. Got in the shower and let water over them. Then i applied conditioner and let it sit then just combed them out. It was easier than I thought. It shortened my wash day a bit.

I don't think I will put them back in today. I may wait until Monday. I may regret that though :lol:
 
Been wearing my hair in a bun for the past couple of days. I really like the ease of just leaving my hair alone, not having to twist it and stuff, and I actually got it to look decent, even though the bun is incredibly small. :ohwell: But I hope my hair doesn't become too tangled in the bun before wash day. I don't moisturize and seal everyday, just baggie at night. Right now there's conditioner and oil on my hair. To me if I leave product on my hair, whenever I baggy the products seem to become "reactivated" I guess, so my hair doesn't dry out.

I ordered ORS latherless shampoo because my scalp always gets the itches, hoping it gets here fast. In fact, my scalp's itching right now, I might just shampoo today. I also bought S-curl because I wanted a good moisturizer and every one seems to give it great reviews. I think I'm turning into a product junkie again. :lol:
 
I'm still in braids. I redid them and made them slightly smaller. I hate how scalpy they look. They are thin in comparison to the large parts. The joys of lower density hair. Smh

Anyway I feel my hair is doing quite well with this regimen. I'll keep these in for another two weeks. I think ill ditch the beanie this week and wear them in two little low buns.

Retwisted and set on flexirod (generic bss brand)
It was cuter when I styled it, lol, this was after I came home from church and took the side pins out but it was very cute and I got lots of compliments. :D
