Today is Columbus day and we had off from work. So I took this opportunity to my hair. I really feel like it's therapeutic to do my hair, especially when it turns out so well. It had been 3 weeks since my last wash and figured now was as good of a time as any. I first detangled my hair first by spritzing it with water and I actually finger detangled it. I've tried this before but I wanted to give it another try. I took my time and stayed up late last night and my detangling was a good experience. Since I twisted my hair using my Natural4U Shea Dream Hair & Body Cream...Coming soon by the way ;) It really aids in the detangling process and helps make it a breeze. Once that was done, went to bed. Woke up and did my favorite pre-poo, Amla Treatment...check out my other post below regarding this. I let this set in my hair for about 2 hours today. While doing this, I watched the R&B Divas Reunion Pt. 2 on Youtube...I was so glad to see it 'cause I missed it when it aired on t.v. last month. So after eating and watching youtube, I did my wash. I used my favorite shampoo right now...
And I'm quite pleased with myself that I haven't wavered on this product. In the past, I usually tend to switch up my shampoos, but since realizing that a sulfate free shampoo is best for your hair, I've stuck with it and i really like it. You only need a little. I keep my hair in twists, take them down, wash my scalp first with a little bit of the shampoo, then I apply some to my hair to wash it, then I finger detangle my hair, rinse, and retwist. Then it's on to the next twist to repeat the same steps. I really like this finger detangling thing for pre-detangling and washing my hair. I believe it's better for your hair as it's more gentle on your hair strands while wet. Once hair was washed, I got out of the shower, dried my hair with a microfiber towel (but you can also use an old t-shirt), then proceeded to add my next fav leave in...
Again proud of myself for staying true to this product as well. Now this is where I used my comb. Whenever I apply a leave in, I like to use my comb. I only use a seamless comb on my hair when I comb it. Because my hair is strengthened due to my Alma treatment, I don't mind using it. I use what's called a bone comb and it's seamless and it doesn't snag the hair. I plan on selling these on my site aswell, but in the mean time look it up. Plastic wide tooth combs with seams in the teeth of the comb tend to snag your hair which can lead to breakage. My comb is made out of wood as is seamless but I'm hearing about some plastic combs that are seamless too. It's worth your investment to find a seamless comb when detangling your hair in the future. Here is the result of my comb after detangling my hair with mine...
For my naturals out there...not bad right? And this is why the wash/detangle hair day was a good one. Welp, the work's not done yet...must twist my hair for stying now. So more to come later on my results...
Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day...
