SO SICK of picking hair off my clothes. It's so disgusting.

I had a dream I was somehow able to dye my hair a nice deep red with henna and it was beautiful 🤔

Rope braids have really jazzed me up about my hair again, I like the texture they give and how all layered and damaged bits seem to stay self contained. I can't wait until my hair long enough for one proper rope braid. Right now I can manage two pigtails but one unravels too quickly.

Have you tried a three strand rope braid vs. two? They can sometimes hold better.

I have not but it's definitely worth looking in to, thank you!

I was looking at my hair in the mirror. I've thought "oh, look, the braid waves are quite visible today". Then I realized I washed my hair yesterday and I've not braided my hair after, so I confused my natural texture for braid waves.

Haha, I had a moment or two like that. Especially in the beginning, when I switched to a more hair friendly routine. I actually thought my braid waves had survived the hair wash lol

On my hair, braid waves are actually straighter than my natural texture. It's like my hair can't keep the braid shape, if it makes sense (the only way is to keep it in the same braid for at least a day or to braid when not dry yet). Yesterday I did something wrong with the styling, so my waves are milder, that's why I was confused

Ah, the other way round, got it

Well, it's settled. My hair just doesn't like protein much. You'd think my lengths would since I've bleached them in the past but it seems a definite no. I've been using the vanilla scented Maple Holistics Silk 18 shampoo and conditioner every couple washes and even with adding my usual Suave conditioner and Garnier leave-in after, it leaves my hair feeling noticably drier and tangly. A shame too. I love the smell so much!
