CHOP

For those who do not know, my natural hair "journey" started years ago and due to modeling (boredom and frustration), I've had my hair cut, colored, permed, and gone natural several times. Back in 2009, I started to transition again and did a BC that December.  From that point, up until last summer, I was extremely intolerant of my once beloved tresses. My hair was pathetically dry, unresponsive to every natural & unnatural product, and would barely hold a curl without using gel. I knew something was wrong from the very beginning because my hair is VERY curly, under normal circumstances. So, last Saturday, I let the barber cut my hair very low (as you can see above).

Verdict: I love it.

My hair is no longer dry and as you can see, the curls are back. Having really tight curls require more moisture, so I always use honey, sweet almond oil, glycerin, and of course-- water. I also take vitamins/supplements daily: multivitamin, biotin, msm, and iron.

MY ROUTINE

I mixed honey, sweet almond oil, olive oil, and massaged my scalp. I left it on overnight.

After rinsing, I put a little bit of sweet almond oil & glycerin on it.

Done!

I've learned from prior experience that keeping it simple works best, at least, for me. I have tons of shampoos & conditioners left over from the beginning of my natural hair journey and I don't intend to purchase anything else. However, I really want to try mixing peppermint oil into my wash/conditioner mix...:)

Peace, love, and light.
