How are you ladies keeping your ends healthy?
Depends on what’s been going on for me.
Usually I keep them bunned for months at a time. If I’ve done box braids or twists on my own hair, I’ll use a combination of Shea Butter, some type of protein treatment, and seal over with holding gel, and leave my ends alone until I take the braids or twists down.
As of late I haven’t had any braids, just been Bunning again, and I’ve opted for protein layering. Hair towards my roots down to my ears gets mainly moisture, midshaft gets a combo of protein and moisture, and the last 5-6 inches of hair get mostly protein based leave ins, then I seal and bun.
It’s been about 6-7 months of me not really using any combs or brushes. I mainly just finger detangle.
I mainly make it a point to not manipulate my hair any more than I need to.
