      Pretty well. It did puff up a bit but the definition was there. Since it was a church night, I ended up pinning the front and wearing a beanie at the back, exposing the front through. I will do a video showing this in the future. I got asked if I used gel, and the person was surprised that I said no. I love the element of surprise I get with my natural hair. LOL!

      Thanks, I retwisted it. Since I did not separate the twists more than the first initial separation, retwist took less than 10 mins and I was good to go.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
