Braided Up

***I wrote this post weeks ago, but it didn't publish. This is my post about the mini braids...sorry :( ***

So I have been wanting to do a set of mini twists for the longest, so Saturday morning I woke up and washed my hair and sat in front of the tv for what would be a long day. As soon as I started I didn't like the way the twists looked so I grabbed my blow dryer and lightly with low heat blew my hair out. I went back to my spot on the couch and at 9am decided to do mini braids. I have never done them before, when I first went natural I put my hair in some small braids and loved the look. These braids took me 11 hours and I was so excited to finish them. I plan on leaving them in for about 6 weeks. See the pictures below

Headed To The Beach!

So it has been a while since my last vacation so I am headed to the beach this weekend for a little R & R. My braids are almost two weeks old and are holding up well. Of course I have experienced a little shrinkage but not like I do with my twists. Every few days I oil my scalp with castor oil and tie them up at night. See the pics below.
