My Trick to Super Defined Single Plait Double Braidout on My Natural Hair

Single Plaits Braid Outs — Single Plaits Double Braid Outs

It’s a struggle sometimes to find nice hairstyles to wear my natural hair in. So, I tried an experiment that actually looked wearable. As a matter of fact, I’m getting more than one benefit from my single plait double braid out. This is an excellent protective style that can promote natural hair growth. This is my unique way of doing my braid out hairstyle on my natural hair, and this is the result.

There are times when I don’t like to wear my natural hair loose. I just want to fix it in a style and leave it without having to mess around with it. Also, I was thinking of a way to help my hair grow faster and at the same time, make it look nice enough to wear outside the house.

I planned on thoroughly cleansing buildup from my hair with apple cider vinegar. I did an apple cider rinse before doing my single plait double-braidout. I could instantly see and feel the difference in the texture and appearance of my hair. You should see the color of the water, too. It was cloudy from all the buildup that was in my hair since the last apple cider rinse I did.

My next natural hair remedy to build moisture and soften my dry hair, is the famous Organic Aloe Vera. This is my trick to helping me part my hair for the single braids that I was about to do on my hair. Anyone who has thick natural hair know what I’m talking about when it’s time to part your hair for braiding.

Fortunately for me, Aloe seems to love my hair and I love Aloe Vera, too. No matter how tangled my hair is, using Aloe Vera instantly detangles it. I don’t even need to wet my hair. You can use Aloe on dry hair and it detangles it just the same.

How I Do My Single Plait Double Braidout

I part my hair in sections, starting with the first section from the back. I applied some Aloe Vera on each section, then I plait (braid) it almost all the way to the end, but leave a little loose hair at the ends.

Next, I put some Aloe Vera juice on the ends and twirl it around on my fingers, leaving a coil. The Aloe Vera at the ends keeps my hair ends moisturized and silky. I continued to part small sections, while still using my homemade aloe vera gel on each section, then braided each single plaits continuously until I completely did all of my head.

The difference with my unique braid out is that I don’t unbraid the single plaits/braid. This is how I did them to achieve my final braidout look.

Braided My Single Braids in Two Big Braids

After I finished single braiding my hair, I partition the braids in two sections. I then braid those already braided single plaits into another braid, applying more Aloe Vera. I leave them in until the next day, then I pull out only the last two braids I did. So, this hairstyle is still in a stylish protective style, but still gives you that defined soft curls.

The picture below is how my hair looked after I pull out the two braids that I did overnight. The curls just softly fell on my shoulders and stayed for days. All I did was just rubbed some herbal oil in it to make it look and smell fresh.

To keep your braid outs longer and looking good for days, cover your hair with a statin sleep cap when you go to bed at nights.

The Perfect Wig: A Natural Solution for Women With Hair Loss

Some of us are fortunate to have hair, hair that we sometimes complain about. For some women, having their own natural hair, is just a far-fetched dream.

Hair loss can occur as a result of having chemotherapy, alopecia, certain types of medical conditions, or side effects from some medications. Most women who suffer from hair loss, may not feel comfortable revealing to others that they are losing their hair.

Feeling Confident Wearing Wigs After Hair Loss

The great news is that you can now feel confident about yourself by wearing natural looking wigs, partial wigs, or hair pieces that can be blended in with thinning hair. Whichever type of hair you decide to wear, being as natural as possible is the most important aspect.

While losing one’s hair is not life-threatening, it is life-changing. Going bald or having thinning hair can affect a person’s self-esteem profoundly. For cancer patients, losing their hair can be really devastating. They may choose to wear a wig to conceal their hair-loss until after treatment when their hair grows back.

Choosing the right type of wig for hair loss is very important. You want to look for a wig that looks natural. Choose a color that blends in nicely with your skin tone. Also, most of all, buy a wig that you are comfortable wearing.

Versatile Wigs for Hair Loss

Wigs come in different types such as human hair, synthetic hair, or even a mixture of both types. Price range can vary depending on if you are buying a human hair wig or a synthetic wig. Human hair wigs generally are more expensive than the synthetic ones.

Spending Wisely When Buying Wigs

Spending more on human hair wigs may benefit you in the end, as they usually last longer if taken care of properly. The synthetic ones my not last as long or look as nice over a period of time. So, spending a few more dollars will benefit you in the long run.

Changing Wig Hairstyles

With the many different options available, wigs have become versatile and convenient for many women who want to quickly change their hairstyle. For example, a full lace wig made from human hair will allow you to part your hair in any direction you like. This option would be for people who have some hair that can be cornrowed to accommodate the parting for that particular style.

Coloring Natural Human Hair Wigs

The good thing about wearing natural wigs, is that you can color them and style them just like you would do your own natural hair, just without damaging your own hair.

At the end of the day, the wig you choose is the one that makes you feel confident about your appearance when you walk out the door each day. Just remember to have fun with your wigs. You bought it, you flaunt it!

Locs Health: New Year’s Resolution, Thoughts and Goals

We are so blessed to see a new year. Now it’s time to look back and reflect on what we did wrong the previous year when it comes to our locs health. Were you pleased with the way you treated your dreads last year? What plans do you have in place to keep your hair looking healthy and strong? What is your New Year’s resolution for maintaining a healthy head of locs?

The Real Truth About Having Locs

Having dreads may seem like it’s an easy way to avoid taking care of your hair or having to get up every day and figure out how to style your hair. However, this is not the case, contrary to what some people think. Keeping your locs looking healthy and beautiful takes a lot of work, especially at the beginning stages of your locs journey.

Appreciation for Nature During Locs Journey

Some people decide to get locs because of spiritual reasons, while others just do it for fashion purposes. Whatever your choice is, if this is something that you really want, you should go for it. Sometimes during your transitioning period, you may notice that you’ll start to look at life differently.

Things such as nature may be more appreciated. Basically, it’s like the blinds have been lifted from your eyes. It’s a great feeling for some people. Only time will tell how your locs journey will affect your lifestyle.

Fulfilling Your Locs Dreams This New Year

This new year, if you decide to finally start your locs journey, you have your work cut out for you, but it can be done. Things may not go smoothly along the way, but that’s just how it is when it comes to your hair transforming into mature locs.

Do as much research as you can to decide if this is something you want to do. The journey may seem slow at first, but eventually things will pick up. In the starter locs stages, you won’t be able to wash your hair so often or vigorously as when it’s matured.

Let others who have older locs be an inspiration to you. Remember that they went through the same long process with their ups and downs as you, but they made it to the end of the race. You can follow my inspirational locs journey and see the stages I went through.
