Wash Day: Ambiguous Hair
I’m so late with my posts;
I washed my hair Tuesday (January 21)
I did not post my last
washday, Friday, because I was so upset with the results! Seriously me and my
hair was not getting along the whole weekend. My hair was always tangled,
extremely dry and a mess. I Moisturized & Sealed twice a day but that
wouldn’t help because my hair would be dry by that night as well as crunchy!
Monday came around and
I wanted to keep doing the inversion method from Sunday night. By that
afternoon, my hair was dried out.
FML!
By Tuesday, my hair
decided to matt down into an afro. I was done. But I found out what the problem
was…

I’ve tried adding more moisture
to my regimen due to dry hair and it’s not working! I came to the conclusion
that my hair does not want to respond to anything and realized that I have
ambiguous hair. I went to The Science of Black Hair by
Audrey Davis-Sivasothy and re-read the section on how to treat ambiguous hair.
I saturated my hair with warm
water to remove some of the build-up on my scalp. I clarified my hair using
Suave Clarifying Shampoo.
I then proceeded to mix ORS
Repenishing Conditioner, LeKair Strenghtening and Conditioning Crème, and Herbal
Essence Hello Hydration Moisturizing Conditioner in my plastic bowl. I wanted
to combine my protein conditioner and moisturizing conditioner steps together
because I didn’t want to step in and out of the shower too much. I left it on
my hair for 30 minutes then rinsed it out with cool water.
After applying my leave-ins, oils
and air drying, I figured out that I just needed more moisture a few days later….
