Week 33: Braiding Getting Better!

Hi all! Sorry for the lull, but I had some more visiting family members drop in. Having a husband who has nine sisters and two brothers is exhausting! I still have two more planning to visit!

Anywho, transitioning is still going well. So far so good. I'm not excited about the washing process, but  I am super excited that my braiding skills are getting better. Last Monday I tried braiding the front and I think I did a pretty good job.  Funny thing is I literally have to chant to myself as I'm braiding to keep me on track. "Small pieces, tight hold...small pieces, tight hold..." If I don't, I end up grabbing a ton of hair and making a frizzy, loose braid. To each her own, I say! Here's my braided bun. My husband suggested that I braid it farther back next time:



I redid a couple of the loose ones later on. I still need some work on my parting skills, but to be honest, I didn't really try that hard to make them neat, lol.

Also, I do feel like my hair held moisture better this past week with Chicoro's moisture method. When I undid my bun today, I realized that my hair was a little dry, but still quite soft. I wanted to wash my hair today, but after incorporating a workout routine into my day, I was kind of lazy, so it's back in the bun. I'll wash tomorrow, and I may try to braid all the way around on Wednesday when I'm 34 weeks post. I should be posting again in three or four days with my report. Bye!
