My Hair Care Washing Routine & Braidout/Flat Twist Hair Style

Hello everyone I figured since I haven't shared with you how I care for my hair yet that this was a good time to do it! I was preparing myself to go to the Scream Tour 5 concert and I was trying to figure out what to do to my hair. So I decided that I would do a braidout. I usually wash my hair on the weekends but I figured if I wanted good results that it was better that I wash my hair and leave it braided while it was wet.

This is a picure of what I use to get ready to wash my hair and what I use on my hair after I wash it. Although I have been locked for 6 months now I still have to braid and band. I know at times I think that it is tidious work but it is oh so important, and plus not all of my ends are sealed, so I have to do what I have to do!
I decided to take some advice from two locked sisters! I got the spray bottle idea from the young woman on you tube. I'm sorry I don't know her name but I thank her for sharing the videos they were very helpful! I also got the soft scrunchie's idea from Mali's Blog The soft scrunchi's work better than the rubberbands, I have no fear of pulling my hair out when I use those soft scrunchie's.( Hey if anyone remebers the young lady's name on you tube. I would really appreciate it if you can share it with me, so I can give her the proper credit!)
Anyhow when I braid my hair I try not to braid the roots so tight so I can wash and scrub(gently) as much as the scalp as possible. I usually have more and smaller braids but I was in a rush and also lazy so I made them a little bigger!

I also use those clips for my shorter lcoks at the hair line because they won't fit into a braid and to prevent them from coming a loose while I wash, the clips really help hold them down. I have a problem with dandruff and dry scalp so my consultant recommended that I use this prodcut called Top Brass its anti-dandruff hairgroom cream, this has really helped my scalp when I first started using it I was using it everyday until my dandruff got under control, now I use it 2-3 timed out the week. Next I have is the Organic Root Stimulator Fertilizing Temple Balm I use this product once a day in hope of stimulating growth in my hairline and my weak and thin hair spots, I haven't seen any changes but I hope to see some soon. Let me add a very important note that it is very important to comb through and seperate each lock after you wash so you wont have lcoks joining together!


The end result now everyone knows that once they wash their hair and its dries that it shrinks up. I really don't care for shrinkage, but its something that I will have to deal with for now. I didn't like the end result of my braid out because of the shrinkage and plus it wasn't enough for me so I decided to try and flat twist my hair! This was originally suppose to be an experiment because it was my first time twisting my hair but I think for me doing this for the first time that it came out nice. So I have a few pics of my twist/braidout. I also decided to put butterfly clips on the twist to add a lil something extra! I do believe that I will defitnetly try this hairstyle again
