My Braids Lasted Half A YEAR! Let Me Explain How!

Before getting these braids, I had already been in a season of protective styling.

In May of last year, I had a few damaged pieces from straightening my hair.
From that encounter and just in general, I’d been feeling like me and my hair were on two separate pages. I wasn’t feeling the shape of my fro and coloring my hair to add a little change was starting to become an idea.
Instead of that, I decided to continue my protective style season and get some braids.
However, I didn’t just want the black braids that I usually got. I wanted to step outside my box and try something new. Well, the amazing company Latched and Hooked popped into my head and we decided to do a joint venture!

After receiving their products, I then hunted down my braider lol and everything was set!
 (By the way, my braider is retired…until I call her again lol!)
So, my hair was finally done and I was IN LOVEEEEEEE with the results!
The hair color came out beautifully and my braider’s quality of work is unmatched.
 
I knew I wanted to keep my braids in for a while, so I did my best to take care of them and here are 5 staple products that helped me do so!

1. Shea Moisture’s Jojoba oil and Ucuuba butter Odor Neutralizing Mist
2. Blue Magic Oil Conditioner
3. High Beams Intense Temporary Spray On Hair Color
4. Satin Night Scarf and XL Bonnet
5. Snappee Hair Bow ( Company now called SwirlyCurlyHair)

 
Take a moment to enjoy my video explaining why these products are so amazing…and I’m sure you’ll get in a good laugh once or twice too.
