Threading On Natural 4c Hair

Threading is a good and effective protective style. I put in threading that I wear out as an everyday style, like 2-3 weeks+. Just make sure that your hair is in good shape before you thread it. I use the loc method to get and seal in as much moisture as possible into my hair. I use the LCO method, but not in the correct order.
LOC – “LCO”:
Liquid	-	Water. Drench your hair.
Cream	-	I use a leave in conditioner.
Oil	-	I use either, coconut oil, olive oil or shea butter.
I section my hair and let it air dry in 4+ braids I use thread/wool I get from the super market for a dollar. The wool/thread used to knit. For extra protection you can oil the wool a bit so it does not draw the moisture from your hair. Allso becareful how you knot the ends.
Here are some pics of the threading I do in my hair. Some say they look like locks to them? Maybe when they reach the two week mark and I’ve probably wet them by then.

Here are a few pics of my threaded hair:

Post Natal Stretch Marks

I was rather lazy during and after my pregnancy, so I ended up with massive stretch marks. My stomach was a flappy piece of skin that hung over and was wrinkly and very black/hyperpigmented? I was actually psyching myself to accept the marks and forget about them...

But eventually decided to at least try to fight them:

I mixed the olive oil and shea butter in a container using a whisk from an old long dead hand mixer.

I did not use any heat.
Put in the olive oil a very small amount at a time so you can control the consistency of the mixture.

I use this on my face and body, but mainly on my stomach, sides and lower back.

I use it on my new baby and todler. On their skin and hair.

As I don't usually use the mixture on my whole body on the reset of me I use the Nivea Shea butter lotion.

Oh and it leaves you shinny so be careful when putting it on your face and going out,
