New Protective Style

Your girl has a new style going on and its one that is still growing on me slowly but surely. I decided to go ahead and get a sew in for a protective/low manipulation style. My cousin did it for me so all I had to pay for was the hair, thank the Lord. So far I'm liking this style and I hope it lasts.

I wanted a curly style something that I could blend my natural hair with without a problem. I decided to go with Bijoux Super Platinum Jerry Curl. This is my first time using this hair so we'll have to see how this works out. I plan on doing a review on the hair once its out and I've used it for a little while. I got 2 packs of hair and they were both 10". I used pretty much all of the hair besides a small piece. I must admit that this is definitely something that I have to get use to. It is tight, extremely tight, and that's not something I'm liking but I hope it doesn't cause to much damage to my hair. The hair cost me $15.99 per pack at my local beauty supply store and it 100% human hair and tangle free (we'll see about that).

As far as the outcome I like it but I'm still working with it. I did chop it up a little bit and will probably do some more chopping until I actually love the look. I was going for big hair but I didn't quite get that with this hair, at least not yet. I fluffed it out and separated the hair so that it wouldn't look so fake and I hope as time goes on it looks more natural and gets the shape that I'm looking for.

I want to keep this in for 2 months, if possible. I'm not sure how long this hair is going to last so we'll see. I definitely want to keep this in for the longest amount of time with the least amount of damage. Today is day two and its still a bit tight and uncomfortable so I have to work on that as well. If I'm able to keep this style in for 2 months it would be a much needed break from my hair.

In a nutshell my hair regimen with this sew in is to spritz it daily with my mixture of water, aloe vera juice, and peppermint oil about twice today. I also spray it with my moisture mist to get some moisture on my natural hair and to loosen up the braids. I apply oil to my scalp every other day. I will be washing my hair about once a week depending on how the hair holds up. The key will be to keep my hair moisturized underneath so that I don't suffer any damage with this sew in. I will also spray a protein leave in once a week to uphold my moisture/protein balance.

I like this style and hope its something that I can keep for the next two months. If I can't get 2 months out of it I'm hoping for at least 4-6 weeks. My next style will most likely be buns for a couple of weeks and then I'll start working with half wigs. The review for the hair will be up as soon as I take this hair out.

I hope that you all enjoyed this little snippet =)
