2 Weeks In My Hair How I Keep My Hair Moist + Braid Takedown | Week 5 Growth Challenge | Neki Cakes

Hey beauties, welcome back or welcome to my channel, i'm going to jump straight into the video it's finally time to remove my five. Almost six week old braids, i'm in month, two of 5 for my hair growth challenge. I removed my braids off camera, but my hair was detangled and moisturized with this new cream. I have from opia naturals. So this is what i use to pre-poo my hair. So here is my dirty flaky scalp and the amount of hairs that i got once the braids were removed and my hair was detangled to remove all my build up. I use free and clear shampoo for sensitive skin to build strength. I use kinky curly stellar strands, which is a protein based conditioner, so to balance out the protein, i apply the new condition that i got called earth supply and is a rinse out, moisturizing conditioner. So i apply this right on top after the kinky curly. This is my hair with the two conditioners in it, and i also did detangle my hair with my brush. I sat with the conditioner for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinsed out in cool water, a key tip for me. I like to pre-part my hair when i know what style i'm going to be doing so i already know i'm going to be rocking a bun, so i just did a side part, and this really eases the tension off my hair when styling and i get less Tangles, while in the shower i use kinky curly knot today for my leave-in conditioner, then the opia naturals for extra boost of moisture. Can you see that it is a wave brush, then for each section i'm going to apply the cheve butter to really lock in that moisture? So once i braid my hair, i take out my hair tie because i can't do tight buns and it couldn't be a protective style for me with tension on my hair. Jamaican black, castor oil is to lay down any loose hairs until locking that moisture, kinky curly curling custard is the og of my hair products. It'S one of my favorite gels. This is to add shine and some hold once all the products are applied. I wrap my braid into a loose bun. I use my satin head bandana and then my silk scarf to set my hair. So today is friday, and this is how my hair has been looking. Since tuesday i took out the elastic band and i just kept it in a satin scrunchie, it's loose as you can see, it's not tight, but we still have some moisture. This is how the braid is looking when i like to refresh my bun it's either. I use a herbal hair juice or water, but i'm loving aloe vera, just real aloe vera juice, 99 aloe vera juice - and i got this from amazon. The link will be in the description box below and i just added it to a spray bottle. I literally just spray my hair all over and i try not to use a brush to refresh, but i'm just gon na gently use it. I don't lay my edges again. I just pretty much wet the hair just to reactivate the kinky curly custard gel that i have in my hair and, of course, silk scarf. So this is five days later. I'M going to refresh my hair. I did skip wash day because my scalp was looking and feeling really clean, and i did not want to over wash my hair by doing a shampoo, because then it will just cause my hair to dry out. So i'm going to be taking down my braid and using my products to get my curls a boost of moisture. That was my low maintenance protective routine for two weeks and now that my hair is free from the extensions. I'M super excited to showcase more on what i do and what i use for my hair growth, but that's all for this video. I really hope you guys enjoyed.
