After enjoying a few days of big hair during BBH's Frotective Challenge, we are back to our protective styles. But before twisting it up, I decided to do a little trimming of BG "S" ends. I did things a little different this time. In this post (BG "S" First Trim-Healthier Hair, Here We Come...) I discussed trimming the hair while in mini twists but I decided to trim her hair the way Precious Curls discussed in this post. I was much more comfortable this go' round!
I deep conditioned, co-washed and banded on Saturday night. On Sunday morning, I trimmed the hair as I removed the banded sections. However, before trimming I applied Qhemet Biologics Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee, detangled, then trimmed and re-banded.

On to the Protective Style...
I went to my favorite style of course...two-strand twists. Although the hair was stretched from banding, I lightly spritz the hair with my aloe vera mix, applied a mixture a QB Amla & Olive Heavy Cream and QB Olive & Honey Hydrating Balm (review to come) and the twisted. OMG...her hair has never felt so soft and moisturized, I couldn't keep my hands out of her hair! She wore her two-strand twists out today but then I decided to do something different and try bantu knots on her tonight. I simply gathered a section of her twists, twisted to the left and began to roll and tuck. I think I did pretty good for my first time, I didn't use anything to secure the bantu knots, so I have no idea how long the hair will stay put, lol...
cute! and nice trimmy trim.... i saw that same post and was thinking to try to feel and trim method, but I like this one too!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks BBH! :o)
DeleteWhat do you put in your Aloe Vera Mix? I know that AVJ is very good for the hair. As of now, all I have done with is use it as the final rinse after deep conditioning. I tried using it as a daily spritzer but it dried up Big Sis's hair.

With any mixtures I make when water is involved, I always use distilled water so it doesn't go bad. In my AVJ Mix, I use distilled water, aloe vera, rosemary eo and JBCO. I don't use it as a daily spritzer, I just use it on wash day to re-dampen the hair before applying the leave-in or when I'm styling the hair. I use Cara B Moisturizing Mist as a daily moisturizer.
DeleteI was wondering for your girls' hair which do you prefer Blended Beauty or Qhemet Biologics?
ReplyDeleteBoth brands are really great! My preference really depends on whose hair I'm doing. I prefer QB for BG "S" who has thick, coarse, dry hair and I prefer BB for BG "M". I haven't had a true assessment of BB on BG "S" because her hair is now loc'd. QB will always be a favorite of mine, but both product lines are very moisturizing.
DeleteAfter taking down BG "S" loc, I found that I absolutely LOVE BB for her hair! A-Mazing results.
