HEY EVERYONE!!! Should I make this a weekly or monthly thing? 😀

[@maramara7494]

WEEKLY !! ❤️

[@jababygirl03]

Yeah I really want to see your care cause I think we have hair similarities. And I need my have to get past the plateau of growth and breakage

[@tammyjackson672]

I'm new here I believe our natural hair is similar too. 😊

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@maramara7494 you don’t think it’ll get tired? My hair weeks are so boring lol

@@jababygirl03 I hear you on getting passed that plateau. Plateaus suck. If I do it again, I wonder if I show what I’m literally doing every day

[@SimplyMee..228]

I did this while on a 100 day juice fast … I retained 7 inches😮while losing 50 lbs (swear to God) I couldn’t believe it either…the only difference is I wore twist instead of braids.. for easier quicker take down ( I have the same length of hair and this would take me 1.5 hours after wash day) ( wish I could add photos to comments 😢).. MY SCHEDULE *Every 3 days• i moisturized my hair with aloe vera juice (instead of water), oils and homemade flaxseed gel on the ends to finger curl. * Every 2 weeks• I retwisted the perimeter *Every month• I wash, condition ( with twist in), moisturize & retwist my entire head … The repeat the process !! THIS WORK LADIES

[@SharatiaBanks]

Twists would for sure be such an easy process to take down and they’re faster to put in too! I wish 😩😩 lol.. and congrats on your juice fast!! Juicing for 100 days is phenomenal and you had phenomenal results! 👏🏾🙌🏾💪🏾

[@MeiPague]

I’m so happy I came across this video! I have fine hair, medium density. I’ve always hesitated to do styles like mini twists and braids without added hair because I’m self conscious about the thickness. I’m always seeing hair that plumps ups and my hair just doesn’t do that. Your hair is gorgeous and makes me excited to try it now.

[@SharatiaBanks]

Ima always do what’s best for me regardless of what someone thinks especially since they’re not the ones detangling and styling it lol y(our) hair is gorgeous, thin and all. So ima rock it lol

[@xoarikee]

smedium twists will be your best friend i promise youu id recommend doing them on wet/damp hair to get the most volume and use a light moisturizer to twist and spray them with water everyday few days :)

[@empresscharleannalynnae8573]

Dang I've been doing protective styling all wrong. I always end up taking it out for wash day. I never thought to wash while in my protective style

[@SharatiaBanks]

Well, I mean if that’s your preference, by all means, take them out to wash it. This just saves me so much time. I’m redoing each plait as we speak. And I am however, gonna take them all out and redo the whole style next time. Not looking forward to it but I don’t want my hair to have the same parts all year. That can cause traction too lol how do you normally protective style?

[@empresscharleannalynnae8573]

Girl i got a little length to my hair and started wearing it out more smh if its not out in a twist out then i have in twists but i get so anxy i just redo it. Thats probably why I've been stuck st mid back for like 4 years now smh. I'm going to start keeping my twists in longer

[@SharatiaBanks]

ah yes... the annoying plateau... we've all be there. tbh, I think I'm pushing through one now. I had to get a lot of cuts to even out my butchered layers. and I stopped caring for it for a good minute. but im back and determined! good luck getting over that plateau!!!!

[@coconut2227]

I'm so excited for your hair journey, I'm around the same length and I want tailbone length so bad! But, I know once I reach that point I'm going to want hip length. I have been doing the same hair-oiling routine, msm and hair infinity as an alternative for nutroful and it's been amazing. (if you ever do a try out, I'd love to see you review it after all the hype years ago). Fingers crossed we continue growing these inches. 🤞

[@SharatiaBanks]

Right! I say I’ll cut it after reaching tailbone length knowing full well that I’m going to want hip length 🤣🤣 I’ve heard of hair infinity but I’ve never tried yet. I’m currently using the hair growth vitamin but MaryRuth’s and I like it so far. Planning on taking it for the whole year. I’m excited as well! It took a min for me to get to this point- failed wolf cut, excessive shedding/breakage (iron and vitamin d deficiencies), not caring at all. But I’m all in now lol and I’m so happy to have you along for the journey 🙋🏾‍♀️🫶🏾❤️

[@abundantambiance991]

Mini braids is a sure win to attaining healthy hair & length retention. Amazing video❤ how many braids do you typically install for your protective style?

[@SharatiaBanks]

oooooo I have no idea. I just part and braid lol I should count them cause now im curious

[@ItsEle333]

I had the same question 😊

[@stormtidal253]

I wear twists. They seem quicker. I don’t have a problem with them but do you think it’s better I switch to the plaits too? You said you wash every week, but do you re-braid every week too? Can you wash each week but just re-twist or re-braid once per month or will that just tangle it too bad?

[@SharatiaBanks]

Redoing the plaits in the video was my 29th day (basically a month) of having these plaits. I’m redoing them every 4 weeks but washing every week. Personally, I if I wash twists weekly they’ll start to knot and tangle so I’d end up having to redo every two weeks or less. Too much of a hassle lol so it depends on the hair type. But I wish I can do twists cause you’re absolutely right. Wayyyyy faster to install

[@WTFVIDSok]

I have fine hair too but it’s no longer weak because I use an Ayurvedic /henna mask every other month.

[@SharatiaBanks]

Yea henna is good, tried it a few times but to wash it out of these braids was tedious. I’ll go back to being consistent next year when I wear my hair out of these plaits lol

[@cherelled6419]

Hey girlie x your hair is growing beautifully! Can I just clarify, do you wash your hair every week and once a month wash and redo your plaits?

[@luvleestars]

As far as installing, you just add conditioner and braid it up? Is it leave in conditioner? If you were starting from the beginning, would you blow it out first?

[@SharatiaBanks]

Yea when I redid them I just did it with leave in conditioner. When I first did these I did do a blow out (using cool air.. Issa no heat 2024.) I think when I take them all out and redo the whole style, I’ll continue to stretch it cause I would like to do a trim, possibly.

[@luvleestars]

@@SharatiaBanks thanks for responding! Last question (hey, engagement is good right lol) when you first did it, and you blew it out, did you use any styler, cream or conditioner or anything, before you braided them?

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@luvleestars Ima always respond (if I see it lol) when first installed them, because I used a leave in conditioner to stretch it, I didn’t see the need to use conditioner again to braid it. So I just parted and went on to styling. I hope that make sense

[@oliviaormsby7114]

Could you do a video on how you do your medium plats for a beginner? I want to do this but I don’t know how to do more than part hair for twists

[@SharatiaBanks]

I would imagine it’s the same parting so it lays in between to make it look full. But then again, twists naturally have a fuller look. I’ll see what I can do. I won’t be for another 3 months though cause that’s when I’ll redo the whole style

[@SharatiaBanks]

Technically the ends have to be tucked away in some form to prevent tangles, knots, or friction for it to be a protective style. So if you wear a puff, twist the ends and make it a bun. Hope that makes sense 🙏🏾

[@angelabrookins4743]

I noticed that a Lotta people claim that they have waist length hair but only to them because i will agree about how our hair draws up so until i see your hair from scalp to waist i will agree with you so get your tape and lets do the length check together

[@SharatiaBanks]

using a measuring tape would skew the claims as our bodies are different. the waist is the smallest part of our tummy area and it's different for everyone. if I put my hair on someone that's 5 feet tall, the hair would be longer. if I put it on someone 6'2 then it would be shorter. so, no. im not gonna measure it that way. I am however, will continue to do what you see at the end of the video 🤗

The answer is right on spot...waist length isn't anything related to measuring tape but rather a person herself.

[@gracey4613]

How do you prep your hair before installing your braids? Do you do a protein treatment ? Do you also detox? Read the comment section , and I realized you leave for your braids for 4 months before redoing them again (freshly). How long have you been doing that, do you think that also contributed to your hair growth?

[@SharatiaBanks]

Since my hair is in this style, my focus is moisture not protein. When I take them all out to redo, I’ll do a protein treatment then but as of now, deep conditioning weekly and redoing each plait every 4-5 weeks 6:00 I’ll redo the whole style 3-4 months. And I just did a full soak, just allowing my hair to sit in water last week. It was relaxing 😌😌 but I use a clarifying shampoo so I don’t think it’s needed as much 🤗🤗

[@SharatiaBanks]

Girl… you just edited 🤣🤣🤣 AND YESSSSSSSSS I’ve noticed so much growth and retention doing it this way. Normally I would have to trim a lot but doing it this way I only had to cut (not exaggerating) 10 strands!!! Like what!??!?! 😮 there were single strand knots/split. And since my hair tangles so easily and knots, there braids make it better

dear pls help I don't know how often I should oil my scalp.......I wash my hair every week I have 3c-4a hair type and high porosity.......so how often should I oil my hair.

[@SharatiaBanks]

start slow, but it also depends on how thick the oil is.. if it's a thinner oil, often is okay. if it's thicker, limit the amount. I'd say start by doing it a couple hours or the night before wash day to see how you react to it. then increase it to 3x a week. also, take in consideration the state/ condition of your scalp.
