I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!

Basically I am super fed up with this gap that I have between the middle of my hair and the back of my hair. The back is so much longer than the rest of my hair, ironically when my hair is flat ironed it falls perfectly because my hair is layered. The battle though that I'm having is that if I trim my hair I would mess up EVERY challenge that I am in ( afroniquely, kinky curly coily me, and my own bsl). My hair is not flowing properly and it annoys the hell out of me, can't wear twistouts, braidouts or even wash and goes without my hair looking choppy and uneven, and all I want is for it to flow properly (the struggle).

So my options are minimal, I can trim it which really wouldn't affect any of the challenges but that means I have to flat iron it. I could just wait till December when all of the challenges are over and then trim or cut it. Or I could just cut it to where it flows. As of right now I don't have a clue on what to do, since I've been wearing protective styles it doesn't really matter to be totally honest but when I go out and just want a head full of curls I can't wear it ( -_- ).

Sigh...

Kinky Curly Coily Me Check In....

This castor oil challenge is MAD real!!! So I discovered after a month usage of castor oil that I cannot put it on my scalp. The consistency is ultra thick and forces me to wash my hair more than once a week (eek). Definitely switched up how I use castor quickly because I felt like me washing my hair consistently is drying to the hair and super annoying. And besides it takes forever to dry my hair and the weather is about to dip (I ain't about that life). I now put castor oil strictly on my ends. However for the middle part of my hair which is a whole different breed of hair regardless I put the castor oil further up, the mid part of my hair length to be exact. This is due to the fact that part of my hair does not seem to retain moisture. On a lighter note I have noticed that my hair is retaining length and it has more sheen to it. I was really hoping to have thicker hair with the castor oil, but since I'm not applying it to the scalp that is reason why my hair will probably not be thicker (-_-) I'll figure it out its only been a month lol. Much Love, Bri

Protective Styles... Day 7

I made it!!! Yes I know this may seem little or a smidge over board but it takes a lot for me not to wear my hair down. And the fact that I made it a week without buckling is great! I'm on week two and I have googled some more images that I will be replicating. I used castor oil for the tips, water, coconut oil, rubber band on the braid, scrunchy for the bun along with bobby pins for it to stay in place.

Enjoy!!!

Protective Styles... Day 6

Simple updo, bun in the back, hump in the front, used water, coconut oil, and brush to get the style to look neat.

Enjoy!!!

Protective Styles... Day 5

And the protective styles continue... This one was super simple I did a high ponytail, twisted it and bobby pinned it in the back. Took no more than two minutes would've added a scarf or headband but I didn't have a decent looking to wear outside lol.

Enjoy!!!
