My protection style challenge is still going strong :o) I took my last set of box braids out just before the election and wore my hair out for a week (as you probably saw in the Tomokas Twist pics).
On November 8th, I put the braids back in. This time I made them even smaller. Instead of taking the usual 4 hours it took a little more than six. At first I didn't see any big difference in length but I did notice that my hair appeared to be a little thicker.
I wore it like this for one week.
Then put it back in a bun.
This was the first set that were a little bigger. You can see a little difference in length in the braid behind my ear compared to the new set above.
