Watch a little girl's hair grow from the Tiersta Technique...
Au'Janai, a 4 year old girl was brought to me by her Grandmother (GG) Leisa. Her hair had been damaged by repeated braids that were too tight. She asked me to repair her hair by using Tiersta braids and a special treatment from Africa called 7PE ( http://www.ancientsecretsinc.com ) on a two week standing appointment schedule.

The before and after wash and blow out...
Finished style with curls. This is phase I where I added hair throughout the braid until her edges grow back healthy
Appointment #3: December 12, 2008 @ 10:00 a.m.
The before and after wash and blow dry
Finished style with beads. Still in phase I where I added hair throughout the braid until her edges grow back healthy
Appointment #4: December 26, 2008 @ 10:00 a.m.
The wash and blow dry
Finished style with beads. Still in phase I where I added hair throughout the braid until her edges grow back healthy. (By her next two appointments, she should be in phase II where I do invisible braids without adding the hair at the beginning.) Note: her hair in the back has grown back completely
Appointment #5: January 7, 2009 @ 11:00 a.m.
The wash and blow dry
Finished style with beads. Still in phase I where I added hair throughout the braid until her edges grow back healthy.
Appointment #6: January 23, 2009 @ 11:00 a.m. This time we added hair invisible in the middle of the braid instead of adding hair throughout the whole braid. Her edges have came back completely!! Yay!!
Appointment #7: February 13, 2009 @ 12:00 a.m. * She missed her appt on the 6th and her edges were a little weak from going for so long, so I took her back a phase and added hair throughout the braid
Appointment #8: February 26, 2009 @ 4:00 p.m.
I am still adding hair throughout her hair, just to be on the safe side:
Appointment #9: March 13, 2009 @ 11:00 a.m.
Appointment #10: March 26, 2009 @ 12:00 p.m. She wanted 'spikes' which of course ment that she wanted something like a mohawk, but I misunderstood and gave her this:
Appointment #11: April 9, 2009 @ 1:00 p.m. This time I gave her a mohawk with spikes and she loved it!
