Hair Update

So, it's been a while since I put in a hair update. That's not to say it's been abandoned - i'm still questing for super healthy, luscious afro hair, and I'm pleased to say, I'm on my way! Okay, so my hair's taking it's time, and is only shoulder length at the moment (stretched, lol, meaning it's neck length shrinken), but it's healthy and strong. I've worn twists and braids interchangeably for a long time now and the discipline is paying off. I'm yet to use any heat on my hair yet - too scared of burning it to the point of no return to shrinkage, i.e heat damage, so the heat is still off! I went through a rough period in April, when I last did a henna treatment and wore it loose and shrunken (a major no no for my VERY kinky hair), and had some serious tangles and knots as a result and considered doing things to it to make it easier to handle, like the Brazilian Keratin Treatment, but I thank God I did not act on my thoughts. I even bought the treatment from the US, but thank God it's delivery got delayed and customs held on to it for a while, so by the time it got to me I'd come back to my senses, lol. Instead, I wore more twists and braids with extensions and deep conditioned regularly and fell in love again. And now, here I am, with twists again, which I've worn for 2 weeks now and as I'm detoxing from the inside, I feel it's fit to detox on the outside too. This I plan to do tomorrow with rhassoul clay. Tonight, I'll make bigger twists of the medium sized ones I'm wearing in preparation for a good cleanse with clay, oils and honey, followed by a deep conditioning session with yummy Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose conditioner. Can't wait! Must remember to take pictures and add to my fotki too. Till next time!
