My hair has
been feeling a big *ugh* lately. I want to say that its being ambiguous but I’m
not sure at the moment. My Sunday wash day was horrific so I was eager to do my
Co-Wash Wednesday.
But, after
today, I’m feeling a bit insecure about my hair…
“Simplicity
is Key”
[1] Pre-poo: I pre-pooed using JBCO to my
scalp and massaged it in using my fingers. My scalp is feeling a bit sensitive
so that massage felt really good. I put on a shower cap and left it in for
about 4 hours, due to my best friend.
[2] Under
warm water, I rinsed my hair within 4 sections to really allow my hair to open
up to absorb the moisture in.
[3] Co-wash: Applied my favorite
conditioner, Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Conditioner. I put on a shower cap
and let the conditioner sit on my hair a bit as I finished my shower.
[4] Under
cold water, I detangled my hair to help with rinsing the conditioner out.
Results: My hair felt so weird.
It felt a bit stringy and felt as if there’s a film over it. I haven’t
clarified my hair in a while so I might have to do that very soon. It also was
weird to me because my hair did not feel mushy at all. I don’t know if my hair
is in dying need of protein.
The reason why I said I’m insecure about
my hair is because of my problem area, the front section. My edges have been
struggling a lot lately and I had a receding hairline since I was a little
girl. This was wayyyy before my mother relaxed my hair. I’ve never seen it look
like that before and it just made me feel very ugly and caused me to have
doubts again.
But, I’m not
giving up!
[5] Styling: I proceeded using the L.O.C
method using my favorite trio:
L: Water
O: Shea Butter
C: BB Oil Moisturizer with Castor
Oil and Aloe
Twists are
not my thing anymore so I decided to braid my hair in big plats. I’m so happy
that my braids are not taking me so long anymore. Usually, it takes me roughly
1 hour 30 minutes to do my braids but it only took me 30 minutes to do this.
Once I was finished with the braids, I decided to use perm rods on the ends.
I’ve been
using Simplicity Oil recently to my edges and nape area. Hopefully this will
help out with my problem area. I’m not giving up.
How was your wash
day experience?
I want to try the JBCO. Have you seen any results with the massages? BTW great post and don't get discouraged you're doing great.
ReplyDeleteI've had JBCO for a while but I haven't religiously applied it to my hair so I haven't really noticed any growth. But now since I'm having this setback, I will be applying it more so hopefully I will see more results. And thank you so much for your motivation. I just felt as if I take 2 steps forward, I take 3 steps back. This time, I'm not giving up! :)
ReplyDeleteI struggle with thin edges too. Use the JBCO consistently and you will see results.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've been using Simplicity Oil on my edges lately as well.
