Braids are the kind of protective style that never goes out of fashion. Variations on twists, locs and other styles peak and trough in popularity, but braids are a classic style that Black women always come back to. This makes small knotless braids—emphasis on the small—the perfect choice for your next protective style. Of course knotless braids look stunning in any size, but the smaller braids give you more hair to play with and more versatility.
When choosing how to wear your box braids, you’ll have to consider what size you want, what length and what color. We’ve broken it down for you. Enjoy!#BlackGirlSummer #ProtectiveStyle #BlackGirlsLit #BlackGirlsRock #BraidLovers #ProtectiveStyle #NaturalHair #NoHeatChallenge #VacayVibes

"Overall I’m really happy that I got the vaccination and definitely encourage others to do so if it’s available and you’re eligible. COVID-19 has killed millions and impacted even more lives. Like many, I had my reservations but I realized they were rooted in fear and not logic. So get the shot, help keep the virus at bay, one less person in the hospital is a good thing."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know laundry detergent can be used to wash synthetic wigs?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As for shampoo, you can either use a wig shampoo or laundry detergent. Why? Because the wig is made of synthetic fibers and not human hair, regular shampoo will destroy the hair. The wig shampoo and laundry detergent ensure the safety of the wig. Synthetic wig shampoo was formulated especially for synthetic wigs and laundry detergent caters to the unnatural fibers within the wig.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But don’t 🙅🏾♀️ put it in the washing machine. Your wig will look like it was run over with a lawn mower.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My hair loss had begun a few months before the shower incident with a few strands of hair on my pillowcase then a few more on my coat. Over the course of a few weeks, my hair would choke the vacuum and litter every corner of my apartment. No amount of cleaning could stem the surge of hair that accumulated all around my family and me. Already vulnerable to persistent anxiety, my escalating hair loss gave rise to a whole new set of opportunities to worry, to feel insecure, and to feel shame. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
