Ok so after going through some stressful times at home, instead of neglecting my hair through all of that I decided to braid it up because two strand twists just weren’t working for me and the current length of my hair (4.25inches). 

Since I colored my hair early into my journey I had to go with a lighter color than my normal 1B, this time a 4 was a better fit.  I used “Jerry Curl” curly braiding hair because that was the tightest curl I could find that would properly conceal the ends of my kinks.  I braided my hair using 100% pure Shea butter mixed with Aloe Vera gel. I plan to keep these in until 7 November 08 and at that point I’ll re-braid my entire head for another three months.

My Regmine in micros consists of
Daily leave in of (Glycerin, V05, water) /Moe Gro Oil Nightly / Rinse weekly

Here’s a pic. Who says braids don’t look good on natural hair divas?
