    I like this method. I’m gonna try it out tonight instead of cornrowing after washing. Hopefully it will save me some time and energy and most importantly I’m hoping it will be healthier for my hair. I usually leave my cornrows in for at least a month sometimes more. My hair is growing but it gets so dry and stressed I’ve noticed that I get a lot of split ends. Maybe this is the change up I need to get past my latest plateau.

I was so annoyed because my hair actually grew a lot with the braids and I just messed it up right after 😭
