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!
