QUICK PLUG, I recently did a podcast in which I go deep into my story--from middle school to undergrad--just talking about the experiences that have shaped me into the woman I am today.

Hey guys welcome back to my channel today, i wanted to come on and talk about my hair, because i have gotten a couple questions just since i started wearing twists and braids about how i maintain them and how i keep them looking fresh and also take care Of my hair underneath., if you want to see all of my tips, then definitely please keep watching., basically anything with this sort of nozzle on. It is your best friend when it comes to braids and twists, because that is what is going to let you get in between the braids and onto your scalp.. You want to keep your hair clean, particularly your scalp. people, underestimate the danger of not making sure that your scalp is clean throughout the process. You could give yourself an infection. for me. I really really love this `` girl, + hair'' shampoo. It is just called `` under hair care.'' wha ti love about this is that it is so refreshing it has this pepermint/menthol type feel and it leaves my scalp feeling super revitalized.. I talked about this a little bit in my cocotique unboxing video, but this is a sulfate free, cleanser --, really great for your scalp, not harsh, not stripping, but it does leave you feeling really really clean. So i recommend this.. One of the things that i really like to use is coconut oil., coconut oil is a really really moisturizing oil. It is great to use on both your hair and your skin.. Using this on. Your edges is great to really moisturize. That area prevent breakage, prevent, pulling and sort of prevent the hair loss in that area that is epidemic to braids and twists.. I just get the refined, coconut oil, i feel like it works fine. It gives me what i want from it. So this is something that you should definitely think about. Getting., you want to get a spray bottle and i just have a little moisturizing leave in conditioner in here.. Sometimes i spray it on my hair just to keep the hair in the braids conditioned.. It helps make the hair softer and stronger, so you don't come out of your protective style with damaged hair.. Another thing this is really good, for is, if you fill it with ice cold water. When you get your hair done, it feels so good. It is like the best relief ever for that tight braid, feeling., and then the water helps the hair loosen up a little bit quicker. So a spray bottle is going to be your best friend --, or your second best friend to the nozzle tip bottle that i showed you earlier. tea tree oil is essential. It is a fungus fighter which is so important when it comes to extensions and any sort of extra hair in your head.. It sounds really gross to talk about, but it is a lot more common than you think.. A lot of people underestimate how prevalent it can be if you are not taking care. a little drop of tea tree oil in your essential oil mix will do a lot to help your scalp stay clean because tea tree oil is both an antimicrobial and an antifungal.. I would recommend getting a pure tea tree oil and then just diluting it.. Last but not least, everyone is going to know what i am talking about here. Your oil sheen sprays are of the essence -- they keep your braids. Looking really nice and shiny.. I like to use it every once in a while not to often just to keep the luster there but natural., and then everyone has seen the ORS olive oil spray.. I like the travel size one because it is perfect for on the go -- you just spray. It., i love this macadamia finishing shine, mist by carols daughter. It smells incredible., it is almost like a hair perfume.. I focus it on the front, but you can also sort of work. It through.. That is it for my hair guide. I love you guys so much and i cant wait to see you in my next video. bye.
