I Thought I Ruined My Hair... But I Grew 2.5 INCHES in 3 MONTHS?! 😱 (Mini Braids Takedown)

I Thought I Ruined My Hair... But I Grew 2.5 INCHES in 3 MONTHS?! 😱 (Mini Braids Takedown) I actually thought I ruined my hair after keeping my 4C natural hair in mini braids for 3 MONTHS! 😭 From stubborn knots and scary amounts of shed hair to a very long and stressful takedown… I honestly started questioning my whole life. 😂 But then came the length check! My back hair went from 8 inches to 10.5 inches — that’s 2.5 inches of length gained/retained in 3 months! That's extreme length retention. I'm STILL SHOCKED!😱 In this video, I’m taking you through my 3-month mini braids takedown, how I gently detangled my hair, what I used to soften my hair and make the takedown easier, the product buildup I experienced, my shedding, and my final length check. I also share what I learned from this mini braids experiment and why I’ll be keeping my future mini braids in for a shorter period.
