Help me ....

Hi Ladies, I am in the Crown and Glory Challenge and I took my braids out so I can get a fresh set put in for college because I go back on Monday. I have about a 1in. of new growth and the last perm I got was December 10, 2004. I don’t plan to perm my hair any time soon.

Demarcation is setting in. I also noticed that the new hair is darker and more textured that the old hair which is lighter and thin. What do I do first? Do I do a deep condition treatment or do a protein treatment? How do manage the new hair. Thank you in advance.

Ok I have done a search problem solved. I will keep my hair in braids avoid combing while dry. Moisture is the key to less breakage. Thanks again

when I take my braids down I usually,( clarify, protein trmt, then do a deep moisture trmt for about 4 hours or more for maximum moisture, air dry "w/oilve oil, carrot, hot six oil,coconut oil that I already have mixed in a bottle", with my ntm silk touch leave in. then from anywhere from a week or maybe next day, I get my hair rebraided

That is great advice Carletta. I had individual braids pencil size. I did not know what to do so I just deep conditioned my hair. But I made sure while I had the braids in I kept my hair with african braid spary, Infusioum 23 and jerri curl moisturizer daliy. I did not have that much build up around the root of the braids because I washed my hair, I kept my normal routine for washing and conditioning my hair. When I took my braids out I did it slow and used my fingers and some of the braids slid right out thanks to that grow afro long hair web site.
