LESSON 1: Intervals! ...on Protective Styling

I've learned a lot since starting my research on Natural Hair but the key lesson learned would have to be patience. So in this installment of Hair blogs, I'd like to share that retaining length is all in a year's work! You must be patient and one way to do that is in intervals. When I say intervals I mean to rule out your timetable for protective styles. I use to do my hair every two weeks. I'd keep it in braids/twists then wash it. However,  now that I wash on a weekly basis, my regime has changed. Here's a Protective style I sported for a week straight

So I had these plaits (if that's how you spell it) in 

my hair for two days. I'd wear a hat over it 

for class and just go!

But on this day I decided to pull out the

braids in the front. You'll see why...

This was my outcome in the end! 

  A BEAUTIFULLY curled 

and shiny Braid-Out Bang!!

(please ignore the line in my forehead) LOL

so0o... Anyway, on my cap went!! and this

was the end result! Tell me what you think!

I don't always do this particular style. Especially because the real interval that occurred involved the braids I did all over my head and taking out the two front ones seemed to go against my Protective styling. But, when I got back home from class, I'd lock the loose suckers back up moisturizing with my special Shea mix and some of my new, favorite, Nature's Blessing Pomade! (Because my hair NEEDS hair oil). Then I'd do it again the next morning till it was wash day. I loved the finished results!
