Updates the End of my 90 Days of Braids and some Styles I used...

My Results are in... I was able to reach bra strap length... here is pic of my hair before my 90 days.  To see older pictures of my hairs beginnings go to my yahoo groups page at

I was little pass shoulder length in this picture.

These are some products I used though I dont promote product usage but they assist you on this journey.  Any type of Hair Cream and Oil will work... Moisture is the key...

These pictures below are of my hair while I was taking the braids down, it was a knotty mess for real... It took me several days to get out as it takes me about two weeks to Braid.  

Below is some styles I wore my hair in, I found a new job and needed to be on interviews so I needed a style that was acceptable at work. I used braids and twist on top and left the braids in the back.

 Braided Bun Style... 

Had to go out for to a Concert this was how I wore my hair.

How I wore my hair to work...

  One of my deep conditioning days I did this twice a week.

A work day style... last all week too...

same day just a front view...

At the Pool Club relaxing... this was two days after my let down from the braids my hair is a tangle mess too... but you can see it.

 Ok... so here is what I did, I basically kept my hair wet every day with spray bottle of water and hair conditioner.  I did a deep condition with the products you see here 2x a week on Wed and Sun of every week without fail.  I clipped my ends once a month, I wrapped my hair in plastic if it was not in a plastic bun every night.  I steam bath on a daily basis but only let it down for 2 days a week.  I kept my ends up unless I was going out and needed to be dressed or something then I wore it down or loose braids.

I slowly removed my tangles day by day, it took me over a week to do this so for like 2 weeks I wore my hair in tangles pulled back.  Currently my hair is braided in larger braids I will post below and I will leave this style for a week.  I will keep large braids like this until September.  I am thinking of starting another Challenge soon though.

Braids all Summer Long "Challenge"

more styles...

Some styles I have used:

I will be doing 90 days of Braids, I will be updating status on styles and how I maintain them from Month to Month.

Before and After Pictures coming soon...




I am now 6 weeks into this Challenge...

Maintaining Moisture is not an issue, I am keeping my ends tucked in and daily moisture with water, cream and oil to seal those ends.  At night I am using plastic to wrap my ends up and silk pillow case as usual because nothing staying tied on my head over night.

I will be updating some new tips in a few weeks with pictures.

Only two more weeks to go

Then my 60 Days of Twist are over, I am not sure how much length I will have and I am planning on leaving them in release mode for a week or two, as I struggle with so many tangles.

This is my hair length before I started my two month Twist Protection mode.  I will update with an after picture soon.
