My Current PS!

For those not used to hair lingo, PS means Protective Styling, which is one of the techniques you ought to adapt when you are trying to grow your hair to retain the length that you are growing. Why protective styling? Its very necessary if you want to retain moisture in your hair, avoid unnecessary manipulation that can lead to breakage and splitting of your hairs or friction on your clothes ( I bet you've always wondered why most people never cross shoulder length hair....well, its a lack of this).

I learnt early on in my hair journey to protect my ends which are very susceptible to breakage as they are the weakest parts of my hair.
At the moment I am 11 weeks post relaxer and have a lot of new growth. Now while I love my new growth, it is giving me a headache at the moment as washing my hair is a pain and I have to be really careful manipulating my hair. To protect it, I decided to have braids done, which aside from being PS also provides protection and is a low manipulation style.

When you have braids on, please do not ignore your hair. Remember to treat it the same way you would with your real hair, which in my case requires:

• Moisturising and sealing with my mix every day (infusium, aloevera juice, coconut oil all mixed in a spray bottle). Avoid spraying your roots so you don't have to deal with build up
• Washing weekly
• Deep conditioning every week
• sleeping with a silk scarf

I will update with how I wash and deep condition with braids on during the weekend.
