12 Weeks Post:Yarn Twists

Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!!

The past week was a hectic but great one!! I delivered my new baby boy safely last Sunday and can't say how blessed I feel right now. Thank you God for such a wonderful blessing once again!!

I did nothing to my hair in the past week...not that I didn't want to....but I was too busy with baby and moving home. Now that I've started my maternity leave, I hope I can have a little more time for my hair. I badly need a wash but haven't yet decided when to do it.

Can't begin to say how amazed I am at my thick new growth!!

Now that I think about it, most new mothers have less time dedicated to hair care because the whole day is busy caring for the new arrival and if care is not taken, serious postpartum hair loss can be experienced. I hope to come up with a time saving simple regimen to accommodate my new lifestyle change and hope it works for me.

I however see that I have so much new growth in just 19 days of having my yarn twists. It is so thick that I may have to reconsider keeping it in longer. I may undo it in a week and install a new braid or weave later.

In the first 2 weeks of having these braids, I massaged with t444z hair food 3x a week, moisturised with my homemade spray often, washed twice a week, and ghe'd every night. I will wash once this week, and probably undo it at the weekend. I think it is really time to get that new wig! 

Any regimen suggestions?

Cheers,
Star.

    1. Thanks dear...and congrats on your hair journey!! Doesn't it feel great when you see how much progress you're making? T444z is only available in Accra and Tema for now...but I do send to Brong Ahafo and Eastern Region through friends as well based on orders. You can get friends to buy for you in case any of them comes to Accra anytime soon. It's Ghc 70 per 150ml....quite expensive but it lasts for 3 months or more since it is a scalp cream. Call on 020 1979795 whenever you're ready.
