how I am wearing my hair today

good news: my hair is growing :)

Small drawback: I can't wear it out loose every single day because I get so many knots and tangles. Plus it is becoming a chore to put them in flat twists before going to sleep...

So, I've been wearing protective styles now, mostly twists.
This week, I decided to do box braids again and surprisingly, I love them!!
Using 2 bobby pins and a barrette, I was able to do an updo :)
To braid my hair, I used Cioccolatina Ucuuba pomade and sealed with L'olio hair food oil.
I am planning to keep them for at least 2 weeks.

lady you have done well! I can no longer do box braids on my hair because it takes so much longer to put in than 2-strand twists. & I'm quite lazy when it comes to spending more than 2.5 hrs on my hair. How long did it take you to complete your whole head?

I like that 1st picture of your hair with that single twist just down your ears. it looks so easy. And that flower is cute.

Your hair is growing so quickly! It looks so healthy and thick. I'd like to try some of Cioccolatina's products. Are there any that you would recommend? Especially for someone with locs? Thanks!

Wow, I can really tell that your hair has grown from that last picture! Your hard and dedicated work to take care of your hair speaks for itself.

@N:thank you girl :)
I highly recommend the moringa pomade and the lolio hair food..
the moringa pomade is amazing, very nourishing and won't cause any build up :)
