First, YAS BEY, come through!
Second (and what you’re actually here for), there is no use in getting a protective style and having your hair in worse shape when you take it out.
Here are some common mistakes made when rocking our favorite protective styles: braids.
p.s. when I say “braids”, I am referring to and twists, box braids, faux locs, etc. achieved by using synthetic weaving hair.
1 | Simply neglecting them: Many naturals take the term “protective style” very literally when it comes to braids. While braids are definitely a great way to allow the hair to grow with no manipulation, they are still in need of much care. I, too, have in the past, gotten braids with weave, and forgot that I had hair of my own. This is not an uncommon thing to do. We must continue to treat our braids as if we recognize that our own hair is still underneath, making sure to maximize the benefits we receive from this amazing style.
2| No moisturizer: “I can’t see my hair, so I can’t treat it”. This is a common misconception. If water or a water-based product (where its first ingredient is water) is used, you will be able to penetrate the braid, and send moisture to your strands. Take a spray bottle with water, or water mixed with a product, and spray the braids every other day (or every day depending on your hair’s porosity) to make sure that your hair is nice and moisturized and soft when you take the braids out. Dry and brittle hair after removing a protective style is an indication of inadequate moisture.
3| No oil: If you are familiar with “moisturize and seal”, you know why this step had to come next. When moisturizing your hair with water or a water-based product, you must follow up with an oil to seal it in the hair strands and maximize the retention of the hydration. I would recommend only extra virgin cold pressed oils (i.e. extra virgin olive oil, extra virgin coconut oil, etc.). These are oils that have been created in a way that ensure that the majority of their beneficial properties remain intact. Many greases and oils will claim to include olive oil and coconut oil, but may actually only have a small amount in them. Make sure to moisturize, THEN seal. It is very important that it is completed in that order. Applying the oil before the moisturizer will prevent the moisture from being absorbed by the hair fibers, and mixing them together will not yield the same result.
4| Too much styling: Braids are very versatile when it comes to styling them. However, there has to be a limit on the amount of styling you do. Buns, pin-ups, and ponytails are beautiful with braids, but too much of it will begin to put unnecessary stress on the perimeter (edges and nape) braids. I’m sure you stand with me in saying I would love to keep my edges. Pulling the braids back, may cause, thinning, breakage, and even bald spots (from first-hand experience). Try to only style a few times a week, and even less if you feel tension on your perimeter.
5| Tying down at night: Just as you should only use a satin scarf tie your hair when it’s out, you should only use a satin scarf with your braids as well. However, tying a scarf on too tight will create the same effect as too much styling. It may be very tempting to do when trying to lay the baby hairs down. If this is necessary, tie the scarf tight only for about 15 minutes, when you are getting ready in the morning. The constant rubbing, and tension that would happen for 8 hours while sleeping will cause too much friction and possibly breakage.
Not using a scarf at all will cause your hair to not last as long as it could. There will be frizz and flyaways from the friction caused from you moving your head on the pillow. If you tend to forget to tie a scarf on your head, or if you find that it comes off more times than not, it would be a great idea to invest in a satin pillowcase. The friction that happens with a cotton pillowcase will be eliminated and your braids will last longer. I even use both, to play it safe.
6| Keeping them in for too long: I used to push myself to see how long I could keep my braids in. That is not the case anymore. I realize that after a certain point, the braids have done their good deed. It is recommended that you keep braids in for about a month, and no longer than 6 weeks. This is because as your hair grows, there is now weight on the new growth. I noticed this first with my edges. The scalp would hurt because of a small piece of hair weighed down by a heavy braid. When I began to limit my styles and also take them out sooner, I noticed a change in how my hair felt when I took my hair out.
7| Not washing them: 4+ weeks without washing your hair?!?! You wouldn’t dare do that, right? It is also not uncommon for people to not think about washing their hair until it is time to take the braids out. As often as you would wash your hair, you should wash your braids, paying most attention to your scalp. If not every week, at least every two weeks. You will notice itching, flaking, and product build-up if you do not stick to the schedule that your hair is used to. Also, it just stinks. Between your sweat, oil, and moisturizer, braids can get to be very funky if not washed.
Washing your braids does not have to be a difficult task. Just follow these steps:
1. Mix water and a small amount of shampoo in a spray bottle (there should be enough shampoo that the mixture foams when shaken).
2. Spray the mixture onto your scalp and rub into all of the parts with the tips of your fingers (not your nails).
3. Then spray the braids as far down as your hair goes.
4. Squeeze the braids to allow the mixture the penetrate the braids.
5. Rinse with water, follow with moisturizer and sealant of your choice, and air dry! You are good to go!
Braids are a great way to give your hair a break from your hands and vice versa, but they require your effort to help them grow your hair. Help the braids, help you!

to the point of becoming a problem. Have had minor headaches and flushing but nothing major I can find it difficult to organism http://www.periactin4mg-allergic-rhinitis.site/ cheap Cyproheptadine online pharmacy as I mentioned above but again its just being patient. My relationship is fantastic now and I feel like a proper man again. As I didn’t before. Don’t want to have to use this forever though but will continue to use this for a few months. Can be a little frustrating in the sense that you don’t always know when you and your partner are going to have sex as obviously unplanned sex is more fun rather than being “planned” which can be a little strange 100MG keeps me rock hard for several hours. My lady can’t believe that sex in our 50’s is actually better than 30 years ago. I do have retrograde ejaculation due to needing Flomax for urinary problems but there have been no side effects from the combination. Both of us miss the feeling of ejaculation but the long lasting
erection makes up for the issue It is an wonderful drug but getting the dosage right is critical. I can still get an erection without help but it had become a bit unreliable. I started off taking half a 50mg tablet . It certainly worked but I felt it was just a bit too much. I now cut tablet into 4 and find a quarter of a tablet makes http://www.fplindonesia.com/forums/topic/achat-misotrol-peu-couteux-misoprostol-prix-le-moins-cher-en-ligne/ all the difference and barely gives me any side effects. The half tablet dose was too http://creative3dweb.com/vegas/forums/topic/orapred-kabeljauwapotheek-koop-orapred-online-europa-orapred-uten-presciption/
much for me. It gave a very strong erection but reduced the sensations and gave me a slight headache . So I reckon it’s worth experimenting to find the minimum dose you can get away with Works pretty well. I have tried Levitra and the quick tab version also with not much positive results. Nonetheless I was given a prescription by my doc for this and for me 100 mg is the right dose. I can achieve erection but have at times a problem keeping it so this medicine will allow me to complete the act and enjoy it for a few too without orgasming too quick. It’s a wonderful medicine that I can get generically (legitimately) and save some money also so shop around. I have minimal side effects at first. What I mean is 4-5 hours after http://creative3dweb.com/vegas/forums/topic/nakup-aldozone-fedex-bez-lekarskeho-predpisu-spironolactone-nakupujte-online/
take it I notice a somewhat rapid heartbeat and some head flushing also but its well worth it as once again for me at least for some reason the side effects hit me later on then most people it seems After getting hit-and-miss results with testosterone creams and gels prescribed by family doctor I went to a urologist who prescribed T injections along with Viagra. Now batting 100 percent. Viagra gives me the confidence I haven’t had for a long time. I’ve found that effects can last up to 12 hours. Slight flushing and http://creative3dweb.com/vegas/forums/topic/covinace-Р·Р°-една-РЅРѕС‰-РЅРµ-Рµ-приет-главна-картичк/ sniffles only drawback but well worth it All three cause unpleasant side effects that get worse once you pass 60 especially back and leg

pain. The side effects are dosage related. Cialis stays in your system for a couple of days and kicks in within 20 minutes of taking. But it has the strongest negative side effects especially back and leg pain. Viagra is the least effective of all three major ED drugs with the usual side effects.
