I tried, I really did but I couldn't hack it anymore - I missed my hair too much so took out my braids! If I could hug my hair after taking down my braids I'm sure I would have lol!!
I was sitting down trying to relax 2 nights ago when I decided I was going to do something to my hair this Friday and in order to get that 'something' done, I needed to loosen my braids and prepare it (I was just looking for an excuse anyway).
Thankfully since they were twists, I had them loosened in no time and then proceeded to pre poo with my Vatika coconut oil on my hair and my Njoy Sulphur mix on my scalp.
I combed my hair out and considering the fact that we shed on average 50 - 100 hairs daily and I'd had my braids in for over a month; the shed hairs that I got weren't bad at all. Plus I didn't have breakage as I'd faithfully spritzed my hair daily with a moisturizer.
