25 Weeks Post Shave

It's been 25 weeks since I shaved off my hair and the above picture was taken on Wednesday after I washed my hair while it was in two strand twists. The PVP/VA copolymer in the Boots Curl Creme had left a film on my hair which made it difficult for my coils to receive moisture. I shampooed my hair using Better Braids Shampoo as I've used this shampoo in the past and it clarifies my hair. I sprayed my freshly washed hair with Cantu shea butter hydrating leave in conditioning mist then I applied Brazil Nut Oil and allowed the steam from my shower to penetrate my strands. I rinsed my hair after 5 minutes then I applied My Little Coco Detangling Water followed by Coconut Oil.


After my hair had dried I realised that my twists weren't going to last long so I decided to undo each twist and braid the roots. After undoing each twist I moisturised my hair with Cantu shea butter leave in conditioning cream for natural hair and I followed that up with my homemade styling butter. I braided the roots, twisted the middle and then coiled the ends.
