Thank you for your support ❤️

[@glendajones8434]

I'm three months in...re-braided my whole head on the 3rd month mark...will be leaving them in another 3 months and just refresh the front and nape area.I wash my hair once a month and moisturize often..

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Wow Glenda that's really great you will get lots of growth. Its important to redo those areas so as not to experience breakage 👍

[@agirlwholovesgod1645]

people having been scaring me saying it will loc itself if I leave it that long. Has this happened with your hair?

[@christrtsfld1895]

​@@agirlwholovesgod1645 i think it locs only if you don't redone your braid

[@Precious81191]

Great comparisons, clear photos&& I love these different natural girl challenges. Awesome growth!!!& keep up the great work hun.

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Thanks P I'll be doing a new hair challenge every quarter glad to have you on board

[@mariafisca6114]

I’m in mini braids now I’ve seen a massive difference from the very first time I did a mini braids and now hoping to grab some growth

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Hey Maria glad you're seeing a difference. They definitely work. We just have to keep consistent, you will achieve your goal health and length ❤️

It's the Bible verse for me...i just started my journey yesterday!,,❤❤❤❤..love ur videos sis🎉

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Hey sis glad to hear you started on your journey and that you was encouraged by the scripture 💕

[@Caroline-he4jw]

@@SimplyShev_hair thanks dear. I really needed that! For me I have always had volume but struggled with length my whole life. I'm hoping this works for me as I am currently using Ayurveda to grow back my hair. I think I have also self sabotaged by not leaving in a protective style long enough. What's the secret to leaving it longer in a protective style? Please let me know...lol

[@SimplyShev_hair]

@@Caroline-he4jw hey Caroline I really appreciate your comment. You will definitely get there. It's very hard at the start to keep longer term styles in. Try focusing on something else like a course or try bit by bit maybe 6 weeks. one time then 8 weeks the next etc💕

[@Caroline-he4jw]

@SimplyShev_hair tnx so much. I will. I shaved all my hair last year in March when I was living in New York, and now I am in Nigeria 🇳🇬 and the weather has helped with my growth, and I have a twa with lots of volume. The ayurvedic treatments help too. I braided each strand for this challenge and applied my ayurvedic infused oil at the roots and tips before braiding. I'm hoping to see good length in at least 8 weeks. I'm really going to try to stick it in longer for better results. Thanks again! 😊

[@MutaleM]

I'm in my 4th month. I leave my mini braids in for 5 weeks. However I wash and deep condition every single week. I am looking forward to seeing how healthy my hair will be after my 18 months mini braid challenge.

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Hey sis loving your challenge you will see alot of growth after that time 💕

[@sophiajones4473]

Wow!! I love this video. I installed mini braids over the weekend. I have short hair after growing it back after I lost it all during chemotherapy. Unfortunately the front is very thin and there are small bald patches. I added about seven extension braids to the front and the rest of my hair is my own. It’s growing really well and I hope to be shoulder length this time next year. I want to keep them in for three months but I’m not sure what to do about cleaning the front part with the extensions. Please advise.

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Hi Sophia thank you, I'm glad you have started on your mini braids journey. They have really helped my hair. You will still need to clean all your scalp regularly. So wash as normal and reinstall the braids at the front to keep up appearances and to avoid breakage. I'm praying that you are recovering well afer recovery and I will remember you in my prayers.

[@sophiajones4473]

@@SimplyShev_hair thanks so much for your response. I’ll do that. I’m loving how my hair looks in these mini braids. I used to have locs but I’m enjoying my own natural Afro hair and the way it’s growing. I’m extremely self conscious about the front though. I think this method will work and I’ll take on your advice. Thank you! Are you based in London? I am.

@@sophiajones4473 that's great news congratulations 🎊🎉

[@daisiesandpandas1218]

If you've recently been ill and recovering it might be that your body is allocating a lot of resources to repair for now, so might need to replenish, especially zinc and biotin if it's hair related. (biotin is actually very important not just a hair vitamin) and zinc is used up be processed that use rapid cell division like skin and hair.

[@NicarenaCiff]

Nice comparison. Thanks for sharing

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Thank you sis and for your support 🤗

[@chumaninande411]

Twists tangle my hair anyway 🤷 but mini braids are so good on my hair, my hair feels healthier

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Thank you sis same here💕

[@WLHMCALLNATURAL]

Can you do a video on how you darkened your hair, l can see the photo before it wasn’t that dark. Beautiful comparison 🥰😍

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Hey sis Ive never coloured or darkened my hair, I tried indigo once many many years ago. Jet black is my natural hair colour 😊. If it looks lighter it could be the lighting or damage. It also lightens a little in the summer like many in my family.

[@WLHMCALLNATURAL]

@@SimplyShev_hair it’s beautiful sis

[@latonyahill8950]

Hi shev! Great progress! My hair is kinda on the low density side. When I do mini braids the braids look too thin but i have mini braids in now. I hope it gets thicker.Do you have any videos on how to take down tiny mini braids.

[@SimplyShev_hair]

@@latonyahill8950 hi Latoya thank you I'm the same but I've found wearing mini braids thicken my hair. Are you in the challenge?

[@latonyahill8950]

@@SimplyShev_hair oh ok. So there is still hope for me. I usually wear cornrows and find that cornrows grow my hair more than when I use to get box braids with extensions. But now I'm hopping on the mini braid band wagon with my own hair just to change things up a bit. Didn't know there was a hair growth challenge. When did it start?

[@JoyBNaturals]

Nice video👍, mini braids are great sis, the thickness I can attest to🤗.

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Hey sis thanks very much 💕

[@modikiramaisa4619]

I want to try these my hair doesn’t like fibre 😢and my hands are in my hair too much … just hope I look nice with them

I enjoyed the comparison videos. Thanks for sharing 💖

Thank you Paige glad you liked it.💞

Only thing with braids is they are so hard to rake down compared to twists

[@bricaboo4001]

So glad i found this video

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Thank you

[@jennalud4748]

Will it tangle if i leave in for 6 months??

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Hi Jenna my hair would loc within 6 months so would not advise for it to stay that long💕

[@sinqobilemabuza8145]

I wanna do this journey, I have a couple of questions. What was your routine? How long did you leave the braids in? How often did you moisturise your hair in the braids? Did you wash you hair in the mini braids?

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Hi Sinqobile Would be very happy to have you on the challenge I've created a playlist that can help with some of your questions. Yes I wash my mini braids video coming soon.

[@etornamsika6075]

Taking them down is my problem...

[@SimplyShev_hair]

So true, I do have some videos showing some techniques that can help💕

[@theirsmilesfoundation3183]

How often do you rebraid

[@SimplyShev_hair]

Hey Bernice I try to rebraid at least every 4 weeks. It all depends. Are you currently wearing mini braids?
