Small Update

Hello. Just wanted to update what I did to my hair. I added small-medium size box braids to my hair a week ago. There is no added hair extensions. I came out pretty well. I kept trying to take photos of the look but got so bust and kept forgetting. I washed my hair twice so the style is a little worn out now. Sometimes I will twist or braids them to have to wavy look, or I would wear them straight, and there is times i will bun them up. If I decide to redo them I will make sure i take pictures. I'm using my same hair regimen with these braids so nothing has changed. Except I moisturize more often now. Maybe 2-3 times per day. So that is it for now. See you in the next post.
