As salaamu alaikum & Hello, ladies
I just wanted to share an update on my hair. I must say I am really loving my hair. It is growing like crazy, it Appears to be pretty healthy and strong. As I spoke about in a previous post some time ago, I am not a twist out , braid out type of girl. I see lots, and lots of beautiful braid outs and twist out's on soooo many of you beautiful naturals, but for some reason I just don't like them on myself.
I looove my hair in wash n go's , big with height and fullness. I am really a person who likes anything edgy, I have alllways been this way , from fashion to hair. For right now I am not really focused to much on all around length. My style of choice , really doesn't require length all over , primiraly on the top , with the side's cut shorter ( not shaved, at all) just tapered. This is currently how I am wearing my hair ,while at home. Sometimes, I put a very faint , very small part in the middle. As many of you ladies know, I am a muslim women so when I go out its covered, Alhamdulliaah ( praise be to Allaah) I am in looove with this hair style and cut !
h One word for this style " SHARP"
So here is a bit of what my regimen is like weekly:
Pre- poo - coconut oil
Shampoo with black soap liquid/ shampoo ( check blog list under black soap shampoo for recipe)
protein treatment every other week - Avocado treatment
Deep moisturizing conditioner every week - Aubrey's organics Honey suckle rose ( mixed with some , olive oil, aloe vera juice, honey, and glycerin)
oil rinse weekly- olive oil
oil my scalp only - castor oil & Emu oil with a scalp massage ( 3-5x weekly)
leave in conditioner- direct leave in by Giovanni
Aloe vera spritz
My personal Whipped shea butter mixture
uncle funky's daughter " curly magic" ( 1x a week)
Here is what I do daily ( or when needed)
Wet my hair- daily
Apply Aloe vera spritz
Apply direct leave in conditioner ( by Giovanni) spritz- water , little vegetable glycerin and a bit of rosemary EO
Vatika coconut oil ( sometimes)
Whipped Shea butter mixture - this really helps to define my curls so that I don't have to apply the curly magic , but once a week
I then finger coil individual pieces of my hair , into like medium sized curls. Allow my hair to air dry very close to fully dry, then diffuse on very low setting and cool heat. Now my hair has become fuller and shiny...lot's of shine. I then braid my hair down the center ( only the center, I leave the sides alone) with about 3 large braids to stretch my curls on the top only... and give me height. Leave it this way for a few minutes while I attend to one of the children, by this time my hair is ready to be taken down. I then take the braids out ... and my hair is now full and longated on the top... ( sometimes I will use a concentrator used on the end of my dryer) but I like the results of using the braids down the center , better)
