Did The Rubber Band Method Break My Hair Off? / Life Update!

Hey girlfriends welcome back to my channel. I know it's been a while, and I am so deeply sorry for that. I have had a lot of things going on in my life, personal and business-wise, and I'm just really piecing everything back together, but I'm here with the videos just to show you the takedown method and what the rubberband method did to my hair. So my hair has been in for approximately three weeks and I have some new growth. I have a lot of product build-up and, of course you all know what the rubberband method. I have rubber bands in each section of my hair and we're always seeing these gorgeous gorgeous box braids or twists after the rubberband method. But what happens after weeks go by and your hair starts growing what happens with your hair and that rubberband interactions. So I'm going to show you all: I'm gon na be safe for the first time and you all are probably going to be seen for the first time also, if you have not already done it on your hair, okay, so I cut all my hair, oh well. I thought oh wait a minute chef, okay, so now I cut all my hair. No, I did this duh. This go sex. It'S time, okay, hold on. Let me cut this and I'll be right. Back. Okay! Take three! So I cut all of the extensions off this time, all of them, so what I'm going to do is just start taking it out and I'll. Just let you all in on. What'S been going on with me, so I lost my grandmother, my father's mom, I'm August 13th. She was the matriarch of my family. I took it very very hard, some of you who follow me on Instagram. If you do follow me on Instagram, you know that I took it real hard and it's just something that you're not really prepared to deal with, even though you have prepared. I know I was you know, trying to prepare myself, but there's no way to prepare for death. She passed away due to cancer, and but she lived a really really good life. So the personal aspect of my life. That was another reason why I kind of fell off. In my a I went down to Georgia, I went to her funeral and you know it was. It was a good time because she was very, very loved and it was a lot of people who came out just to you know, see her one last time and just to pay their respect. So it made me feel good to know that she was very loved. That is definitely my twin I'll post, a picture of her. You know a couple of pictures just to show y'all. I know y'all. Probably like oh boy, we don't know her like that, but that's that was my heart. That was my all like. She was my other mom. You know what I mean, so you bet that really, you know put me in a kind of a funky space, but now it's been about been about almost four weeks and also you know to bring light to the video and not to like gloom it out. For you all, but I have started on my first events here in Washington DC. I am planning my first event and I'm putting it together. So I really like throwing myself into that, and that also has taken a lot of my time and a lot of my focus. So that's another reason why I haven't really posted any videos. I'Ve been recording, don't get me wrong. I'Ve been recording on and off, but for me as a youtuber I feel like it's not perfect. I won't post it. I like my imperfections to be perfect too. If y'all can understand that, it's just like you know we're planning an event. It'S really really time-consuming. It'S expensive, but if you have you know the backing that you need with sponsors. I surprisingly got four great sponsors for my event, one of them being curls, so they're gon na be saving me some things to put him on the swag bag for that Cindy's. For for the event, which I literally cried because it's freaking curls like they're blueberry bliss Jill is amazing. Okay, so now I'm finished taking out all of my braids and you can see the build-up and the new growth from where the rubber band sits and where my hair grew it out. In three weeks, I have a lot of product build-up from the products that I've used and also my hair feels not very dry. But it's dry, and I did mention in my video that I, when I was putting the braids in that that Kanekalon can't go wrong. Whatever, how do you say that word that synthetic hair will dry your hair out? So you want to make sure you add enough product for the length of time that you know that you're gon na leave your braids. So, let's try to take these rubber bands out and see how tank would or maybe not tangled my hair is around these rubber bands. Like I said, it's been three weeks I just zoomed y'all in real quick, so I'm going to try to take them out using my hands first, just to see y'all pray for me and I'm just doing slowly. So I know I won't tangle my hair up the biggest fault of detangling. I mean not detangling, but taking rubber bands out of your hair is rushing and taking them out. So if you can see, I only have that much hair tangled in the rubber band, which that's still too much for me, but it's not a whole blob or like a whole thing of hair. Look at that buildup lll-look watched a song calm, and then you do have the option of once. You get like a little bit of your hit, your rubber band away from your hair, the option of taking scissors and snipping it and just taking your hair out. That way, that'll be the. If you don't want to preserve any rubber bands, but as you can see, there's no hair, there's no hair left on the rubber band. There'S no hair left on the rubber band, but it is a pape rubber band. But who cares about rubber bands girl? Oh no, I like them. I, like the box brakes using the rubber band method, but I would think I would try more to do it with just gripping and practicing like that, because at some point it depends on how fast your hair grows or how thick it grows and how kinky your Hair is and how cool your hair is. Your hair may wrap around that rubber band as it's growing out, so you may get some type of breakage. I don't think that I've gotten too much breakage. I feel like I'm a little light right here. My edges. Look. Ok, I've always been thin around my temples right here, but for the most part I feel like there there was no breakage, so I'm going to give the rubberband method a thumbs up. Maybe not every time you do your um box braids just try to practice the regular way to do it to grip your hair, but definitely this is great for beginners trying to grip their hair and trying to perfect this style.
