With the onset of the harmattan, aka dry season, i knew that i did not want to leave my hair out as the dryness will just drive me nuts. I made the decision to install a protective style and i happen to see a couple of marley twists on instagram which served as the inspiration i needed.
So whiles prepping my hair for the twists i decided to briefly document how i prep my natural hair before getting an installation. I realized most ladies do not do this and sometimes failing to do so causes more harm than good. This post also doubles as my wash day post.

Here are the steps briefly outlined below:

Hello everyone,
Been a minute ain't ti! I'm back here bringing you all the exciting news about AFROTASTIC! I have been finding it extremely difficult to write this post simply being that as an organizer i am unable to report fully as a spectator because i was in and out several times and under tons of stress. Also it is difficult to be a critic of one'self right? Lol! But i have tried to piece something together for you so sit back and enjoy!

Hello naturalistas,
i'm glad to bring you yet another hair post. I hope all is well with everyone. I have been away due to protective styling; i previously had in loose braids for about 5 weeks and took them out. I just want to give my hair a break from protective styling and given myself a personal challenge to how i can wear my natural hair out constantly and also to be able to cope with it on all levels.
