I've had these braids a little over a month and it's now time to take them down. While taking care of them, I first applied an oil given to me by my braider in Africa. It was a really strong oil, I will attach it below. Then my husband (who is also growing his hair) made some hair food with Blue Magic Indian Hemp, Wild Hair Growth Oil, and Virgin Hair Fertilizer. I've been oiling/greasing my hair everyday (sometimes twice a day, but minimum once). When I ran out of hair food, I used the Palmer's Grow Success that I attached to this blog. When I take these out, I will be using the Palmer's Grow Success on my scalp and then the Chebe mixed with African Pride Daily Leave In with Coconut Oil and Baobab Oil. I'll also add some drops of some Hair Palm Oil and some of the essential oil that my braider in Nigeria gave me (that I will attach below). God bless this day. God bless my hair.

I never told anyone that he tried to boil my face in water for "having another man in the house". I kept it all inside. I cried alone. I sulked on my own. It was a tedious process trying to heal from that relationship. In my mind, I wanted ...

I just got this product and I'm adding it to my routine of hair care. It's not really a grease or a cream, but more of a hairdresser. You can use it on your scalp and hair, so I'll be adding chebe to it. My hair is still in braids from Africa, but I'll be taking them out sometime in November. Honestly, my hair grows alot when I get weave, so we'll see the growth when I take these out. I'm excited to start playing in my hair again.
