I tried to assess some things after that god awful session.
The first week I did my hair, I thought I made a mistake by doing a braid out on dry hair.
Now I know that wasn't the case. I did the right thing. My hair takes entirely too long to dry and using that curling butter on damp hair is just plain drama.
So what I plan to do is follow some of the same things I did this week. That includes a thorough washing with lots of lather, deep conditioning immediately after, detangling after the deep conditioner and letting the hair air dry. I will then put it into a bun, until I do everything I need to do for the day, then I will set the braid out:-)
At this point, it takes me a day-and-a-half to do my hair because it takes so long to dry. That takes away time with my husband and makes me uncomfortable in my own appearance. So I think with this minor tweaking, I should be able to work things out:-)
Also, I think I want to try twisting. The braid out is kicking my tail---BIG TIME. Plus, I think it forces me to manipulate the hair more than I think I should be. I mean REALLY?! After a great detangling session, I basically ripped my hair out trying to do those stupid french braids. ugh!
