Moisturizing in braids

Its summer time you know what means its time to get those braids. This does not only go for summer but also in winter I have always had  that problem in term of taking care of my braids.Everytime I would take them out my hair would feel hard. Then I found a new way for my hair to stay moisturized after trying this out  when taking out my hair my hair felt so soft. I usually always always have a problem of dryness in my hair especially in the middle and this method has helped a lot.

I make a spritz which I combine with a bunch of the things in a spray bottle
-Moisturizing spritz
 Hawaiian Silky 14-in-1 (main ingredient)
Water
Black Castor oil
Favorite light conditioner
Grapeseed oil
Any curl finishing lotion of your choice in my case (Soft sheen Carson Wave Nouveau Coiffure Moisturizing Finishing Lotion)

Then once a week I use
Aphogee Keratin and Green Tea Reconstrurizer to keep my protein balance and PH balance

Washing hair
Then once every three weeks I wash my hair by placing shampoo, water, and condtioner in a applicator bottle

Conditioning hair
I place in an applicator bottle conditioner and water then this is the odd part I steam my hair in the braids by placing a bag over my hair a steam towel then finally a bag. Then doing the last wash with cold water. This part I feel has changed my whole hair health.


WELL THATS ALL FOLKS.

Why social networks have destroyed manys perspective

I usually talk about hair but I am here to talk about what I have noticed a lot. People been placed at high pillars for basically wearing little to no clothes and no doing anything that is beneficial to our society. Due to this many young adolescence see this as been good and the norm. These many people I can not prove live this life of having money or living in high social class. The sad thing is that the average american does not live like this but yet they fantasize over their life style. I can remember back in the day when the only way one could ever make something out of themselves is if they had a talent or presented themselves as intelligent women. An example I have is between India Westbrook and people like Shameless Maya. The difference between these two people is that Shameless Maya has been a person that inspires some many with her Youtube videos. But in the case of India Westbrook it is different here is another girl from LA who lives this life that everyone wants to have. Its so sad that so many play into this as someone that will one day inspire or change a Child's perspective of themselves. In the end of the day we are our own role model and placing people who do not do anything for us morally why do we take that time to hit the follow button just to obsess over someone. I am just saying I may sound like a hater but it is just something I have noticed that has been on my mind.

Changing to texlaxed.

Now I am in College the new trend has become natural everyone has become natural. I know been natural is healthier for your hair but I was once natural and my hair was so unmanageable I got really tired of it. So I decided why can I not have the best of both world. This would mean becoming texlaxed. Although I havent texlaxed my hair since January I am currently growing out the relaxed hair and now I am growing my hair out to hopefully texlax my hair around August. But there are so many things that I found out newly and have added to my regimen that has helped my hair combat dryness. I will be posting my regimen and my moisturizing regimen for braids.
