"I'm used to covering my natural hair up and wearing it in protective styles, and while there's nothing wrong with that, I was also letting my hair's health slip through the cracks. Wash days can often take up a whole day for me, and they're quite the workout, so I would also go way too long without re-conditioning my hair before all of this happened.
I spent the first few weeks of my time in the house creating an actual wash day routine for myself, washing and deep conditioning once a week and just letting my hair do what it wants to give my scalp time to breathe. A few weeks ago, I decided to give myself box braids for the first time (with help from some life-saving YouTube tutorials) and, even though it was pretty difficult, it was well worth the six-hour journey." — Danielle Jackson, assistant beauty editor at POPSUGAR
