Natural Hair Exp!

Can you retain length without doing protective styles (ie. twist, braids, weaves, wigs, cornrows etc)? Can you retain length while wearing your hair in loose styles (puffs, twist-outs, braid-outs) the majority of the time?

From April -December I will rock my hair in a variety of out styles (braid-outs, twist-outs and puffs) I will follow my 3 day cycle regimen and my no comb regimen, I will focus on keeping my hair clean and moisturized and see if I am able to retain length.

Single Day Braid out (medium braids 40min)

Day 1 clean hair and apply leave in. divide hair into 4 sections and braid in medium sized box-braids. (the evening before)In the morning release braid-out and rock it like you love it. (clips, bobby pins, flowers, head bands etc)

Day 2 (the evening before) Divide hair into 4 sections, lightly mist with water and braid hair in medium braids again. (the next morning) release braids and style

Day 3 Optional if hair feels ok, re mist hair and re braid that evening for braid-out the next day. If hair is dry, wash hair and braid it to rock the braid-out.

Afro-Puff (large box-braids 20-30 min)

Day 1 clean hair, apply leave in and braid hair in large box-braids. The next day release braids and fluff into puff, secure with knee high.

Day 2 re wet hair lightly and apply leave in, re braid hair at night, release into puff the next day.

Day 3 Wash hair and braid, release in the morning.

Note: For best results with the afro-puff you may need to rinse the hair with water each night before braiding.

Short and curly twist-out. Follow the same steps as for the braids.

2-day braid-out. (40 min)

Apply gel to freshly washed hair and braid in medium braids, release the next day and apply a light amount of oil to hair, sleep with satin bonnet and finger fluff the next day.
