Gosh Golly! I've finally figured what's wrong with me! My hair to be exact. Its just so dry and coarse and just UGH! Its been frustrating my mother and I but I have finally decided that Imma do something about it! So I just started researching today, found out quite a bit. So I am going to use my journal to like UPLOAD the information I have found so that I can twist it to mah needs. And since I know nobody really ever reads anyone else's journal, I am just basically loggin' this 'ish in for myself. ^^ So lets get started. Ish to getcha Started!
Here stuff I'm going to need :
1 Clarifying Shampoo
1 Moisturizing Shampoo
1 Moisturizing Deep Conditioner
1 Protein Deep Conditioner
A Leave-in Conditioner
1 Moisturizer
1 Natural Oil
Wide tooth comb
Satin/Silk Scarf and/or Satin Bonnet
- Shampoo your hair with a moisturizing shampoo 1-2x/week (Preferably sulfate free)
- Use a moisturizing deep conditioner with heat (At least 30mins) after every shampoo
- Always follow up with a leave-in conditioner
- Use a water-based moisturizer 2x/day (Morning & night) then seal in the moisture with a natural oil
- Always wear a satin/silk scarf or bonnet to bed
- Relax at least every 8 weeks (If You can go beyond that, even better)
- Do a protein treatment when needed (Whenever the hair feels very limp, mushy, overly soft etc.)
- Trim when needed
- Use a Clarifying shampoo (remove buildup) 1-2x/month (depending on the amount of product you use)
- Use a wide tooth comb to comb/detangle your hair. You'll experience less breakage.
~~Find a simple hair regime that works for you. Be patient and consistent. Stick with your regime and don’t give up despite hair “set backs”. Hair normally grows 1/4th to ½ inch per month. Be patient and give your hair that extra TLC.
Everything I'll Need to start off! Gotta find the right ones!
Now all I gotta find out is which products I am going to use that will be right for me and eventually work for me.
My goal is to get my hair longer, even though its pretty long, its a little to thin for my preferences and a little to unhealthy for my preferences as well. I want to be like 3 times as thick as it already is and long and shiny and even. And I am determined to take care of my hair day and night!
Now my next problem is my mom. She is always complaining about how much my hair sucks, but I'm afraid she won't do anything to help me out in my new hair journey lol. SHe better help me out with this dilemma!
