Yarn Braids Maintenance

/hihi
Since my scalp seems to be so sensitive to tugging, I try to oil/grease it at least once a day and if I will do ponytails I aim for a loose one. Also I like to use Africa's Best braid spay mixed with some Infusium leave in treatment on the braids where my hair is to keep them moisturized.

Why am I telling you this? Well you see at around 4:00 am this morning I woke up because of an awful headache. Because I was busy yesterday morning I styled my braids without doing my routine and scalp massage and when I finished work I was so tired beacause I had a fever. But at 4:00 am this morning my scalp said, "Enough!!"

So I had to go haul my mucus dripping butt out of my bed to oil my scalp, do the scalp massage and spray. Now how do I know that it was the missing of my routine that caused this evil headache... Once I finished my regimen and put on my cap within 5 minutes the headache stopped and I went back to la la land. The moral of this story is Take the time to do what you need to for yourself  or your will pay for it later.

Until later (... or whenever I get over this fever) /bye

Yarn Braids

So, I am trying a new style. Right now I am rocking yarn braids and I am enjoying it even though it was my first attempt braiding.

Click here for pictures.

In all honesty it was not as hard as I thought it would be but my biggest problem was getting the yarn to stay with the hair (LOL). Let's just say it was a learning experience that I may or may not try to do again. Thinking of doing a short tutorial but I figure that so many people already have videos up on it and there isn't a need put one up personally.

Black Onyx has some nice videos:

Check out MsVCharles for styles:

So check it out and try it and see how it looks on you because so far I am loving the break from my hair even though it took me forever and a day. Normally though braids only last about 1-3 weeks in my hair either because they just start to fall out or I can't take the pulling and tightness (Yep, my scalp is extra sensitive). I loved that I could determine my tightness by doing it myself. More to come on this style and I may even post some better pictures for the second attempt.
