I know alot of those with much, much longer hair than mine will wear it up in buns, braids, etc. to help protect it and keep it in excellent shape. I was wondering what someone with a hair length like mine could do to help discourage split ends and breakage.
I have a love affair with coconut oil and use it regularly and I'm very gentle when combing it. I've even ventured back in to the land of CO and am trying to severly limit my use of shampoos. But is there anything I can do, style-wise, to "protect" my locks at this point? I still have some layers so braiding is somewhat difficult though I did manage a wet french braid the other day and despite that I had to fasten it close to the top of my neck I was ecstatic! Wahoo! :cheese: I tried it again today however and it was a total disaster. Oh well.......I have always had beginner's luck that only lasts for so long. :p
Any ideas? Or do I just need to wait a bit longer?
