I'm still holding onto my braids, lol! Yesterday, I took the hair pins out of my hair and put my braids in a banana clip. Because the bang and side braids were shorter, they fell to the side. I pulled out some of the braids to make the sides more even. I've been spraying my hair with water and Hollywood Beauty Tea Tree Oil every morning and night. I apply Shea Moisture Curly Enhancing Smoothie a few times a week. How long (at a time) do you keep your protective styles?

This is the first style for my mini braids . Please excuse my crooked headband lol. I've been wearing the bun with headband style for the last couple of days, but I want to avoid breakage from the friction of the headband. It's time to find a new style! I use bobby pins to pin down the shorter braids in my bang area. Also, June 3, 2013 made 27 months that I've been natural :-) Thank God for the journey!

I've gotten tired of doing my hair everyday, so I decided to install mini braids as my protective style. You all know may know that mini twists are my favorite protective style, but I decided to switch things up a bit. I have worn micro braids with extensions, but I wasn't feeling the idea of having extensions in my hair for a long period of time. Plus, I need my edges lol. This weekend I spent about 8 or 9 hours (many breaks included) installing mini braids. Yes! I think my braids are the tightest and nicest when I under braid them. The problem with that fact is that it takes me all day to braid lol. I think I braid in slow motion (when under braiding), lol. I ran out of hair at the end of braiding many of the braids. I just twisted the remaining two strands, creating two-strand twists at the end. When I finished, I was a bit disappointed because a lot of my scalp was showing. Also, the braids weren't as full as I expected. I had to remind myself that I wasn'...

Happy Monday! Today I applied Coconut Oil to my twists and carefully unraveled them. This time my hair did not get into knots. major shrinkage

Happy Friday! Thank God that we made it through the week :-) This morning, I french braided my hair half way down my head and then put my hair into a small bun. The french braid is a bit sloppy but I did not mind :-)

Happy Monday everyone, Because, I'm getting bored with my mini two strand twists, I want to challenge myself by coming up with different styles for them. My challenge starts today and will continue through Sunday, October 7, 2012. Please join me! If you'd like to be featured on my blog with you mini twists style, just respond to this post saying so. In my first picture, I used two bobby pins on each side to pin back the hair.
