close-up texture shots of a 6 day old braid-out w/ no product. just a little jojoba oil. needs to be detangled badly lol.
**for reference: i BC’d about 15 months ago. i have many “hair types”, but I treat it like what it mostly is, which is type 4. when stretched, it’s at the tip of my armpit. i can get it all into one ponytail w/ a puff about the size of a navel orange lol. i co-wash it once a week, shampoo once a month (I don’t use a lot of styling products at this stage), moisturize daily w/ water & seal w/ a lil jojoba or castor oil, and give myself a peppermint/castor/jojoba&neem oil scalp massage at least twice a week…i protective style w/ weaves 90% of the time, and plan to continue doing so until i hit about year 2. i’m just really afraid of it breaking off if i wear it out all the time…the weather is harsh here and my hair is super fragile. right now i’m just focused on keeping it healthy and strong. but other than that, i lurve my hurr.
