Refreshing My Box Braids

Y'All get two belly shots in one video, hey guys. I did my hair about a month ago and it's looking pretty busted at the moment. So i'm going to be redoing kind of like around the edges, maybe not even all the edges. Just like the front of my head and maybe a little bit right here, i do want to shampoo and condition my hair. I am doing summer school, so i'm teaching virtually and i'm teaching kindergartners. So how much fun am i having like it's very fun to teach students in person, but when you have five and six year olds that you try to keep their attention through a computer screen, it's a little it's a bit much, but i am enjoying it and I'M going to um for those of you who have not been watching my videos or are not following y'all hear that ringing. Oh, my goodness! What is that for those of you who have not been watching the other video or you're, not following me on instagram? I am expecting a baby in about four months. I will do an update very soon. That'S not what this video is for, but i just for those of you who are interested here is my little belly. I guess it's not like so little anymore, but you know still not ginormous, but it's a belly. Nonetheless, the partings that i originally did are still in good shape. I'Ve been taking the braids out in twos so that i can twist up my hair after i unbraid them, and i am going to shampoo and condition my hair in the twists. I wet it and then i put on this jackie's, not on my watch. It'S just a detangler. I just put this on there just to loosen it up a little bit and then i comb and get all the dirt and shed hairs before i shampoo, i'm just going to spray some of this sea breeze all throughout my scalp and i'm going to let it Sit on my hair for a little bit, i'm going to shampoo and condition with these products they're, both from the african black soap line through shea moisture. I am going to be shampooing all of my scalp and letting it run down the braids and then i'll be also conditioning on the braids too, because my hair, of course, is in here all right. So after i shampooed and conditioned, i clearly lost my voice or something because i didn't talk anymore. So i'm just using my cotton t-shirt to rinse off my hair and the extensions as much as i can. I do have a towel around my neck, because if you have ever worn braids when you wet them, it seems like they just love to hold water, i'm using yet another shea moisture product to stair, strengthen and restore leave-in conditioner. When i do protective styles, i like to make sure that my hair is really moisturized inside of the braids, so i'm also going to be using the shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie as my cream, i'm doing that lcl method. This oil mixture contains olive oil, coconut oil and argan oil, and so i'm going to lock in all that moisture with that oil and while that is sitting, i'm going to do the same thing to the extensions because my hair is inside of the extension. So i want to make sure that that stays moisturized as well. The extensions were still pretty wet, so i went ahead and used my blow dryer with the concentrator nozzle attached, so that i'm not applying so much direct heat and then i blow dry, my hair. I oiled my scalp with this jamaican black, castor oil and then miraculously my voice came back to kind of lay down my hair at the root. I am using this shine and jam. I put echo style gel, pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty every. Let me tell you something: we've been together, i'm looking at my hair and i feel like i should straighten it cuz. I don't know where this came from like where in the world it has grown. What have i been doing, leaving it alone? I guess pretty pretty. I finished my hair and it's late, even though i blow-dried my hair, it's still a little damp most nights. I sleep with a scarf. I don't make it tight at all because tight things on my head make my head hurt. So that's it and then i go to sleep, i'm going to style it in the morning. Here we are the next evening, i'm not even going to pretend that it's the next morning in the morning y'all i look busted when i am teaching. I did my edges, so you know they look nice. I just love the fact that my hair feels very very clean, and i know that it's all moisturized, and so i just feel really really good, so it was definitely worth it and i'm going to continue to keep these braids in for probably another month. I ended up not re-dipping the ends. I just blow-dried it a little bit more today because it was still damp when i got up, and so as i was blow-drying it, i just kind of pressed and pulled down to kind of get it back straight. So i think it looks okay y'all get two belly shots in one video. If you have any questions for me, make sure you leave them down below. If you have any comments, any video requests. Um. Let me know, thank you all so much for watching and i hope it helps some of you out bye. You
