Have you ever looked at your ends, now that you have maybe 2 or more inches of new growth and say "ew where did these frayed ends of a carpet come from?!" Can you believe your whole head was like that at one point?? Dry and brittle, and screaming for moisture! I cannot believe, something that I invested so much time and money in, was looking so ... cheap lol. Yes, ladies, we still have to EMBRACE these sad little excuses of hair and treat them with the same TLC as our new found lovely curls. Try a bantu knot, this will created a curl that is undetectable during the "ugh these rough ends" times, or a braid out. I personally use the bantu knot out, it creates the cutest spiral curls! And the smaller the knot, the more defined the curls(:
Bantu Knots
and a bantu knot out... is when you take em out! lol
You can do these while your hair is wet or dry. I prefer wet. I use a leave in
conditioner while I create the knot and then seal my ends with my Bio Infusion Olive
Oil Hair Serum. Then I wear a silk bonnet to bed. When i wake up i spray my hair
With water/olive oil/carrot oil then unravel the knots; finger comb/style then I'm gone(:

I remember when I was growing out my relaxed hair, I was desperate to get rid of the relaxed ends and as soon as I chopped them off my hair just grew! :)
