Mini braids on 4C |Hair Part 3|

[@MERTIE123]

Looks great! I just got mine done 2 weeks ago. Im going to wear this style for a while to promote my hair growth

[@allaboutki]

@@MERTIE123 I typically redo mines every 8 weeks. Im kinda bored with the style but its getting me on a healthier hair hourney. Ive been wearing this style for over a year now. Lol so its time to find something different that will leep my hair growing and healthy.

[@MERTIE123]

@@allaboutki it's been 2 weeks for me. My stylist said she wants to take them down and redo them about every 3 weeks. I don't want my hair to lock up

[@allaboutki]

@@MERTIE123 I moisturize my hair everyday to avoid it locking up. Thats what gives me the extra 3-4 weeks. At about week 8 they start to lock up at the ends a little so I take them out at that time. Its a very low manipulative style. But for damaged dry hair it takes a lot of hard work and effort to get your hair back on track even with them in. But im almost there. I see way less knots now and my hair is fairly hydrated still when I take them down.

[@MERTIE123]

@allaboutki yes. I'm excited to see how my hair gets back to it's healthy state. A friend of mine made me a concoction of hair products and I keep my hair oiled with it

@@MERTIE123 that’s a great friend. Having 4c hair is very challenging to maintain. But once you figure it out its a breeze

Hey it’s nice, I’m trying to leave my braids in for 8 months

[@allaboutki]

I wish i could go that long. My hair doesn’t do well if i leave it in any style more than 3 months.

[@kandicewright-lm8ym]

@ yes, I hope I can cause it seems to lock, I thought maybe it was because I didn’t moisturize it enough

[@allaboutki]

@ yea i try to wash my hair every 2 weeks and it tends to keep it from locking up. And i moisturize it everyday.

[@Jem5122]

Remember not to use heavy products like shea butter that can build up on your hair. Warm water and oil works great for moisturizing my hair. I do it every 3 days. Also keep track of your roots. If you feel them matting you should redo them.

[@jackiekay1996]

Your braids look great! How long do you leave them in for?

[@allaboutki]

@@jackiekay1996 thank you doll. And I leave them in for exactly 8 weeks. I found that to be the magic number for me before they start to try and lock up or get matted.
