Straight

minimum product goal

Ok, so I remember me loving my hair the first year I BC's around 6 months into it. And I could never get that feeling back and I did not know what what was different.
Not I think i know what the difference was.

NO USE of Gel except for a small amount on my edges.

Its totally undefined and fluffy and  a bit frizzy but I think i'm okay with that because get this....its softer and more manageable.

I think somewhere I got lost in the perfect ringlets syndrome.

So I gave myself a major trim and left the gel alone.

THis is 2nd day hair. I made the mistake of putting my hair in a pony puff as I would have done if my hair was coated with a layer of gel.
Bad idea, because my hair w/out get stretches out very easy and the fluffiness was gone and the ringlets stretched and were less defined:

YaY one week of protective style completed!

Okay I feel really good about completing one full week of low maintenance hair. I wore my hair up in 2 strand twisted all week and it felt great!
It was also nice to NOT have to mess with my hair during the work week. Not having to do my hair meant one more hit on the snooze button :)

The down side was that I noticed more knots and tangles when I took them out to wash and condition my hair.

So here is my hair washed and conditioned. I use my Almla and Heavy cream, Hempseed twist butter and gel to mold my two strand twist.

Fingers crossed for a successful week two!
