(here's a picture so you know what size I was talking bout: http://iloveboxbraids.tumblr.com/post/56540366024/nic-nac-patty-wack-tumblr-com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=html&utm_campaign= submission_published&utm_term=respond_link )
There was a little bit of breakage around my edges, but nothing too extreme.
I've been wearing my hair out natural without any extensions so I can finally take proper care of my hair, explore my hair texture, and try out different styles. I've been using castor oil, aloe vera, shea butter, a daily moisturizing creme by Jamaican Mango & Lime designed for transitioning hair, and an extremely watered down keratin leave in conditioner (basically I just used the empty spray bottle and filled it up with water and there's still residue of the conditioner left) to take care of my hair.
I go back to school in a week and a half and I was thinking about getting marley or havanna (idk which one I want they both look so similiar) twists installed. Instead of the tiny twists like the one I had before. I wanted to get them thicker (like the size Solange wore when she had them in)
Will that relieve some tension on my edges and help it grow? Approximately how long do they last since they are thicker twists? How often should I moisturize my scalp and what products should I use to on it? Since Marley/Havanna hair is a different texture than kankelon does it get messed up from swimming and/or washing it? I run track in college and sometimes we do pool workouts.
Sorry this is a lot, but thank you for taking the time to read this!
Stay blessed
