..And The Winner Is Butter And Oils- For Natural Hair Of Course

Here's a close-up of my hair this morning.  I was about to say this evening but it's 12:00 am so it's technically Saturday morning.  My hair has been holding up well for the week.  I've been pulling my hair up at night to keep my waves in place.  I've tweaked my regimen since my hair has gotten longer.  I used to spray my braidouts with water in the morning, but now since my hair has gotten longer  I handle it differently.  I just add a little shea butter, olive oil, and coconut oil to the palms of my hands and then massage some onto my scalp and scrunch the rest along the length of my hair.  It gives my hair a nice sheen, just the right amount of shine so that my hair doesn't look dry.  Although I continue to mist my hair with water in the morning when wearing pulling my hair into a bun, I no longer feel the need to mist it when I'm wearing a braidout.  Now for you newbies I do still mist when I'm braiding my hair at night but not when I'm wearing it out that morning.  This new regimen is working great for me.  My hair looks moisturized with a hint of shine.  I can even see my henna glistening in the light thanks to shea butter and oils.  Chicago's wind and cold demeanor is no match for my shea butter, coconut oil, and olive oil.  ...And the winner is butters and oils!!!!!!

How do you style your hair the morning of a braidout?  Do you feel the need to add moisture?
