So, you will probably know that I am bored of my hair now, I have been saying so for quite some time, and I just spontaneously decided to put my hair in extensions. I had a packet of Khanekelon (not too sure how to spell it) hair left over from some braids that I did some time ago. On Bank Holiday Monday (09/04/2012), two days after my wash day, I decided to put in braids, waist length braids. This took quite some time, I started at about 10.30am and was not finished at 7pm, but I had run out of hair. I knew this would happen so I only left a section in the middle and put my hair into a bun so that I could go to work on Tuesday. Below you can see a few pics whilst i was installing the braids

So here are a few pics of my hair now that it is done and some styles I have worn too!

To look after my hair, I spray it with a mixture of water, HE conditioner and olive oil - daily, sometimes twice a day, depending on how dry it is. I also oil the scalp every few days or as needed. I cover it every night with a scarf, and that's about it. I'll probably do my first wash after 2-3 weeks.
I am planning on keeping my hair in for about 5-6 weeks, so that should take me to the middle of may. I'll then do a protein treatment then relax at the end of May, followed by a well needed trim. I'll be sure to update you.
Till next time
Blessings

ReplyDeleteAww, thanks. It took an age to put in, but I'm glad it's in now - go ahead (so long as you have enough time to do it), you won't regret it!
