- Replying to @protectedbylisaHow she left my chair (cause what made y’all think we didn’t do a cut? Lol) Just wanted to show the after effects of back to back protective styling without taking breaks to care for your hair. Take the breaks before the next install.
- Keeping your hair braided all the time - getting box braids or Knotless braids every 2-3 months - does not grow your hair.
- Replying to @VidaSterLinG and @c0kahinaYour hair grows because of growth phases. These occur just like we shed skin.

- If oil & water do not mix.... What real benefit do you think a hot oil treatment has for your hair?

This is what causes me to say things like take a break between your styles before your hair gets to this point. Cause I give a damn when I see this & I don’t want others to experience it if they can prevent it
- That’s the whole point, protective styles themselves aren’t bad. It’s the not taking a break that causes issues.
- Replying to @protectedbylisaFor those who want more clarity. I’m referring to protective styles (with extension hair) without breaks between the installs & no haircuts/care over 1-2 years. This didn’t happen overnight or as soon as she got a few installs. This was gradual damage over time.
- Please stop using olaplex if you do not have colored hair. You really do not need it at all. This is just a reminder cause I’ve said something about this in the past.
- When it comes to styling your hair a common thing I’ve seen is naturals using creams and leave-in’s as a styler. Unfortunately those products don’t have much hold & that is why you have to keep “refreshing” & retwisting your hair throughout the week. Let me put you on, a 🧵
- Cowash is not shampoo. It does not replace shampoo. It’s like washing your body with lotion.
