Stupid Braidout... >:(

I did another braid out again. I did it on damp hair. I woke up and it was still wet! That's bad for 3 reasons:

1: It's cold out side. I COULD'VE CAUGHT PNEUMONIA!

2: Cold weather + Wet hair = breakage

3. My braid out didn't fully set in and form the right curls



My outfit/hair of the day



All this contributed to the frizziness of my hair. I didn't use my Fantasia Frizz Buster as I usually do because I wanted to see how well the Garnier Sleek and Shine controlled my frizz. It didn't. At all. I woke up with frizzy hair and had frizzy hair the whole entire day. I was smart enough not to wear it down today and decided to quickly detangle and put it in a bun. I do like my curls to have a small amount of frizz to them because it makes them look more natural, but gosh! I looked like a troll doll today! So tonight I'm going to try a bantu knot out and hopefully it'll be cute in the morning.  

This proves that using no heat is going to be harder than I thought. I know ulovemegz (Youtube) only does braid outs on co-washed hair so I think I'm going to take that advice and follow her lead. I'm not giving up on not using heat because I really want my hair to grow, but if I keep having days like this I'm going to be doing a lot more roller set/saran wrap methods in the near future.

Braid out FAIL and Pantene

I tried a braid~out again today, but it didn't turn out right at all! It's not that the curl was ugly- but there was not curl at all. It looked like I was wearing that style for a few hours and the curls fell, instead of just waking up this morning. Today's braid out didn't dampen my spirits, it just gave me more drive to become a better braider.
When I do become good at braiding, I plan to add co-washing into my regimen.

Last week I noticed flakes on my scalp once again. I was really confused and thought my hair wasn't getting enough moisture because of the aphogee regimen I've been using. So I started researching things and some girl said Pantene gave her dandruff. I use Pantene's curly hair treatment. I liked it a lot for a prepoo, but I don't think I'll continue to use it because it's pretty expensive and doesn't last a long time. Also, it may be the cause of my dandruff. Especially since I'm not the only one noticing it.

I will continue to prepoo, but now I will use Herbal Essences instead and mix it with oils.

Almost there!

Okay.. so I said I was going to continue to practice braiding my hair. I practiced last night and I'm going to practice again tonight. I hope by the end of the week I'll be wearing braid-outs regularly as a way to use less heat on my hair.
I know its not the best, but for just learning, i think it looks A M A Z I N G !  :)
