For the last few months I bet you’ve noticed that my hair as been safely tucked away in a variety of buns, and you’re probably seen me where this a few times…

I love the afro puff drawstring hairpiece, because I can wear my hair safely in a bun and still rock a ‘fro that looks just like my hair. What’s better–I don’t have to contend with wearing hot-ass wigs that cover my whole head.

100% Real afro puff

It gets really rewarding when you can see the progress of your patience, when all the good stuff you do becomes obvious. And while I am taking vitamins and have my product favorites, I have to admit that the single most important thing I’ve done is to drastically reduce mechanical manipulation and protect my ends so they don’t get dry, crispy and broken.

Here’s a list of the products I mention:

Hairfinity

Tres Beauty 3

Shea Moisture Jamaican Castor Oil Strengthening Shampoo

Camille Rose Naturals Clean Rinse Shampoo

Giovanni NUTRIFIX

Bumble & Bumble Invisible Primer

Alterna Caviar Repair Rx Lengthening Hair and Scalp Elixir
