Well this is month 15 since my BC and month 26 since my last relaxer. I just completed another round of braids from 1-15-08 up until 5-20-08. I used coconut oil, Surge spray and a conditioner concoction of my own to preserve my hair. I also faithfully took prenatal vitamins, biotin and vitamin e. I lost no edges and had minimal hair loss!!!!! So this represents how my hair looks post braids and trimming. I trimmed about 3/4 (inch)-1 inch.
I HAVE DECIDED: What I have decided, even though I do not want to is to complete another 3 yes THREE rounds of braids! I want to achieve waist length healthy hair and since these braids have done so well for me I think it is the best thing for me to do. So this weekend, possibly June 1st, I will be braiding again, and will not really "let my hair out" until I achieve my goals!
