After years of relaxing she went for the big chop then allowed her hair to grow for her installation. I lightly spritzed and made 2 strands twist which I tucked under.
I put this picture in to show you the size of braids and as you can see my roots need to be coloured. I make large braids for a looser look and for a smaller curl, which will last longer I make smaller braids. As usual I left 2 locks out by mistake..JPG)
This is me after colouring, washing and conditioning so my hair is straight.
I have stopped using the small black rubber bands to secure the ends of my braids as I found they were damaging my ends so I either tuck without bands or use a softer version which is for children and they are purple of course. I shall show you them next time.
Before back view.
Butterfly transistioned over a period of 9 months but there was still some relaxer in her hair.
This final result and I am reliably informed that I installed 565 beauties in her hair.
This is her first retightening 4 weeks later and her hair is already changing. I spritzed lightly with spring water, then braided in large braids which were tucked in. Wow her hair had some bounce!
