Thank you!! Same here! When life gets busy, mini braids are my go to!! That's awesome that you've been on your mini braids challenge for 6 months! How's the experience so far?

You don’t remove and redo the braids during the 6 months?

Same here I am about to rebraid it looks really bad.

Some people braid the root of the twist first to avoid the fuzziness

Hey lilijean, that's a really great question! My experience with buildup is a very complex one. But I'll try to make this as short as possible. The oil that is on my strands has not given me any issues with build up from what I've observed as of yet. It's acted as a protective barrier for the strands of my hair and I believe that's why my strands have grown stronger over the years due to this. I agree that water alone can't strip the oils off completely, but that is not my goal when I'm washing my hair considering that my hair dries out easily when I do the opposite. I've found that making sure that I cleanse my scalp and that the pores aren't clogged on my scalp is the most important, and shikakai does that without stripping my hair completely of my natural oils/sebum. The shikakai also goes throughout the strands when I'm washing my hair along with the water, so it does take the oils off to a degree, but not entirely, which is how my hair likes it. So in turn, my scalp and roots stay cleansed moisturized and nourished, my strands stay protected, and my ends stay intensely guarded by the butter. It's also because of this that I find that I rarely have to trim as well. I hope this helps! :)

@@EtherielleHB It definitly helps. Thank you for your thorough answer ! :D

For this challenge I didn't rebraid all my mini braids like I usually do every 2 months strictly for this challenge, just the front perimeter and the ones that were the frizziest at the moment. If it was a 4 or 6 month challenge, you would've been able to see me rebraid every 2 months. I was doing a challenge that was the easiest to follow with the quickest possible results.

Hey abundantambience, no, but that is a great idea! I've only ever done it when I've had chunky braids or twists. Thanks for the tip!

Hey dijasnaturals ! It definitely can, my hair tends to be finer at the front perimeter of my head as well, I also used to have bangs in that area, and mini braids had grown them out waay past the length I expected it to grow out. It's almost caught up to the longer parts of my hair!

Hey, it's a mixture of butters that I use which is Illipe' and Mango butter. I named the mixture Malipe' butter
