Yesterday I twisted my hair in small twists, with a few sprinkles of medium size twists, to significantly reduce daily manipulation. I love swimming and usually swim with my hair twisted. However, during my vacation I swam with my hair out; freely floating in the water. I did my usual routine of washing and conditioning afterwards and wore my hair in a wet bun. When we returned home, I swam again with my hair out. It was so hot 'til I wanted to calm my body temp down more so than worrying about my hair.
By Saturday, I realized I had wet and manipulated my hair every day for the last 1.5 weeks. So Sunday, I twisted my hair and Monday wore it pinned.
So did my daily manipulation damage my hair and cause excessive shedding? Absolutely, not! I ensured my hair was heavily conditioned and added protein every other day to strengthen my tresses. Wearing my hair in a wet bun also helped since my ends were conditioned and tucked away.
I'm truly starting to believe my hair will grow rather it's in a protective style or not. The key is to ensure your ends have proper moisture-balance and you are eating balanced meals.
'Til next time,
Love and peace, Peace and love,
