I need help after the crochets

This hair if mine, I swear i am not getting any where. I am just starting and im tired already. My hair sheds so bad, or I should say breakage.  I need so much help I took my crochets out and I had very little shedding Then. Now everyday I get at least 50 strands a day.  What do I do?

After the braids 

Here is all the hair that came out not much

Two weeks six days

So I am a little disappointed in myself because I am so ready to take these crochet braids out and its only been two weeks and two days. I wanted to keep them for four weeks but I think that is going to be out, since thanksgiving is in the forth week of may hair due, and you know I cant go no where with my hair looking like that. I also have to let my hair breath for a week before putting it away again. So  will be taking this hair out on the 19th which which is a tuesday and exactly three weeks.

Yes I did wash my crochet braids. I seen that a lot of people dont like to wash them but I did and nothing happened.  I shampooed and I deep conditioned. I let it sit for and hour and then rinsed it out and let it air dry, which took forever.  I then did a leave in and moisturized my scalp with olive oil mango butter and sealed with my hair oil mix.

This what my hair looks like. I can say I am almost at an inch of new growth.  Yah me. I am going to do the inversion method my last week of the four weeks. Today will be the last day of these braids and I am ready for them to. I like them but I love to change my hair styles on a regular. 

Pre poo

Ok since I will be taking my braids out tomorrow I decided to do a hot oil treatment / pre poo on my hair. I am going to be leaving it in over night and then I am going to add some conditioner tomorrow while I take them out to try and not have so much breakage. This is my first time trying this so I dont know how easy it will make this process. 

I used 100% pure coconut oil, for this treatment

I then took my shower cap and my scarfs and put on my head for bed.

Has any one did a hot oil pre poo before? I hope these braids dont take a long time to take out.

30 day AB challenge

As you can see from the title I am doing an AB challenge.  I am 8 months post baby, March 19, 2013. I can not seem to lose any of this baby weight. So I am going to try and finish this out.

Day 1 

15 sit ups

5 crunches

5 leg lifts

10 second planks

And yes I did it all I hope I will finish this

This is the begining 

I am a little under 150 pounds. My goal is to lose 10 pounds. I like my weight but I am not to same size I was befor baby, and now nothing fits. And my gut it off the hook so I need to nip this in the bud right now. I plan on going to Miami 2014 summer so I need to get right.

I also did running,  I havent ran in like a month and when I first started I was about die I end up stopping for like 2-3 minutes,  and stated again. I use to try and do 300 calories a run but today I could not hang but I will try agin tomorrow. 

Any one wants to try this with me? I am excited to see how it goes.  And I hope I can keep it up.

Up coming protective styles

Ok the fall/winter season I will be doing braided protective styles.  So from September- February I will be doing protective styles. I will be doing 3/4weeks of each style and one week to breathe in between each style to give my hair a breather.

Here are a few I will like to try

• Human hair crochet braids
• Marly twist crochet braids 
• kanekalon crochet braids
• Water wave crochet braids
• Yarn braids 

       Sooooo far

• September/October - box braids
• October/November- crochet braids (bohemian curl)
• November/December-
• December/January-
• January/February-

Please help with what I should do next. Im going to Disney world in December,  and my birthday is in January.  So I have to pick which would suit whats going on. I just bought the human hair for the braids and I am so excited to try it. I have all the hair for all the styles except the which I am going to get soon. I think buying all the hair in advance makes it so much harder to choose. HELP MEEEEEE ?

1 week and 3 days crochet braids

This about the second day

I am so in love with the crochet braids. I have been wearing then a different style about every other day. My plan is to take them out on November 26. Im not sure if I can last that long I like my hair styles to look fresh everyday. I can say I have grown about 1/4 inch of new growth in about a week. (super excited) my goal is to retain 1 inch a month.

 


This is what I gained in 1 week and 3 days

another way I have been wearing my hair

 

Crochet braids (bohemian curl)

$5.99 a pack

october 29
I did crochet braids using freetress bohemian curl. 2 packs of hair one pack was a 1 and the second pack was a 4/30 which o didnt mean to het I wanted a 1/30.

Step 1 : I took the hair and cut it in half.
Step 2 : I also separated each strand of hair in two        using water.
Step 3 : I braided my hair ( 10 little braids in the front, and connected two braids to make one in the back so 5 in the back)

Step 4 : you begin to latch hook the hair into each braid ( you dont have to put them so close together in the back)

SN: in the back I like to alternate the side in which I put the latch hook in. I would put the opening in on the right first then on the next I would put the opening in on the left. Also you should start putting them  closer together at the top with the smaller braids.

Step 5 : trim some of the frizzy ends from separating the hair, or cutting some bangs or what not and you are done

One pack did the whole back of my head, I took one half of the pack and filled in two and a half cornrows with the hair so that ican make sure the hair was distributed evenly.

This is just half of one pack. I used the other half on the other side
