Minibraids Again and Again

Hi everyone,

Sorry for not posting that I went live for the takedown on TikTok. 

I decided to go back to mini-braids after a day of mini-twists. I have to say, mini-braids are kind of my thing now. I enjoy and I like that I can style them in different ways. You can style mini twists as well, but I was afraid my hair would mat up with mini twists. My mini braids don't seem to mat like mini-twists. I don't make my mini-braids and mini twists really small. I think they are a good size.

Healthier?

Thicker/Thinner

So what did I do for my hair to go from this to that? I think it was the hair mask I used as a leave-in. Now I know not to do that ever again. I was also doing more deep conditioning and pampering in the video as opposed to the picture. I also used a shea butter soap to wash my hair. I thought it was African Black Soap in the store. However, after looking at the soap, after I used it a few times, it wasn't.
