Msm & Biotin

Soo with this Protective hairstyle challenge, i decided to take some internal growth aids as well to help my hair. I was also experiencing alot of shedding and hearing my hair pop when detangling soo i figured this couldnt make me or break me. Soo right before i got my first protective style i trimmed about an inch off of my ends and it realllllly reallly made a difference. Then i began to take the Msm and Biotin. I took 1000mg of Msm a day and (2) 2500mg of Biotin a day. I made sure to drink tonsss of water to dissolve it as well.

The results are AMAZING! My protective styles dont last as long because my hair is growing out. And my nails, omgggg theyve improved soo much. The biotin definitely hardens them up so they dont break. I also feel as if biotin gives me a natural source of energy, im not as tired when i take them, especially in the morning. Im soo anxious to see the results after my winter protective styling is up! But for now i am definitely a believer!!

Talk On Winter Protective Styles& Current Protective Style

So my 2nd year being natural has definitely taught me that my hair DOESN'T work too well in the winter time. I guess it was ok when i first went natural because with a TWA all you really have to do is moisturize and seal then let it do its own thing. But once i got a lil bit of length i started to realize its not gonna work for these cold winter months. Soo around December in 2012 i got my first protective style which was cornrows in an updo which i LOOOVEDD! After that style i decided to get individual box braids aka Poetic Justice braids, which i again LOVE LOVE LOVEDD! Did soo many different styles with them ans the length was down to my butt which i adored as well. I kept those in from about February till April, by then it was warm so i wore my natural hair out.

Now  here it is October and getting cold at that, soo i decided to do some kinky twist! I like them alott, I used Model Model Marley braid with edge control to blend and hold the twist! I love how the marley hair actually resembled my natural hair! Got sooo many compliments, but,in,the beginning i kept them long, but now that my new growth is really getting out there i decided to cut them short, which i will show pics of. I plan on keeping these in for a about another week or so then im gonna try crochet braidssss for the first time #EXCITED!!!!

But all in all protective styling during the winter months is a greattt method for me. It allows me to give,my natural hair a rest as well as concentrate on the health and growth of my hair! Ive always got good results and will continue to use this method!
