New In!

Well hello there!

 

It's been a while hasn't it?!

 

Today's post is about some new products that I have been given the opportunity to try out. The other day I was doing a little shopping at the local shopping center. One of the stores  (Fontana Pharmacy) happened to be having their customer appreciation day which included a kind of expo.

Remove Crochet Braids in 15 Minutes!

Hola!

 

I had 2 short stints with crochet braids - roughly a week each.

I am just not digging fake hair right now, they (Senegalese twists + crochet braids) feel like a more of a bother. I may try to find a half wig and hopefully the fact that I don't have to commit to it long-term will help ease me back into long-term protective styling.

 

 

 

 

So anyway, having removed the crochet braids with relative ease and in a very short time, I decided to quickly share how I did so with you. Now the method I used is not rocket science but sharing it may very well help someone out. I did it in 3 steps:
