Minibraids Again!

 

It's about to be month 2 of having the minibraids in! On the 26 of July, it is will be three months. They are growing and getting thicker from me messing up and it thinning. In the pictures above, they are tucked in. I did two ponytail twists and tucked the end in. Since no one has commented about how long I should leave them in, I will choose! If the three months go well I might try and do another 2 months! I hope seeing this journey will help someone to get into the groove of minibraids and start retaining their hair. I am taking the prenatals again! I figured I am missing some type of nutrition/nutrients. I'll do a length check at the end of this challenge, per usual. You can find length checks on my Tiktok page at SincerelyDaniGirl.

Healing Hair: Prenatals work!

Hey,

I want to come on here and say. Prenatal's work! I stop taking them, and I can see the difference.It doesn't start right after, but it was like my hair was strengthened. My hair product stayed well, until I used a shea soap bar soap that I thought was African black soap. My hair is currently healing. Here are some pictures I posted on tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8sqAJRe/.

Remember to talk to your doctor before taking!

Sincerely,

April 8: third month, almost the last month or not?

Hello everyone,

Hair Growth?

Hi,

Here is what I have experienced. Yes, it can be the products you are using on your hair, however, it has been what I consume as well.

Mini braids

Since October 22, 2025, I have had braids in. I am trying to keep the mini braids in for 3 months. Today it is December 3, 2025. One month done, two more to go. I do love mini braids. I had them in a few months ago, before my mother redid them for me. 

Too much product?

While being on this journey, to get my hair like it used to be, I would like to try not to be too heavy-handed with product. Sometimes I would go out after putting a leave in, cream, and oil, or a deep conditioner. With the deep conditioner, I hope to not go out with it in at all. 

Past Hair: First Post

Hey guys,

Here are two pictures of me with how my hair used to be a few years ago. A few years ago I pampered my hair. Steam treatments, deep conditioning, African black soap, buying hair growth oils, satin bonnets, chlorophyll (liquid and pills) and orange juice, prenatal vitamins, and many more things. I loved it. But as I went through a healing process, I forgot about these things. My hair became damaged, and broke off. Believe it or not, it got even longer than these two pictures.  However, I lost very many images and these are ones I happen to find in another location not on my phone. You can also view the video that I found as well here: Click here. It shows my hair being thick and healthy. Here, ,you can see how my hair is more currently to this post.
