Everyday Hair Victories

[CurlyLawGal]

In the weight loss community, we call these "non scale victories" and they are the little things we notice on a day to day basis that show us we are on the right track with our journeys (ie better fitting jeans). They have nothing to do with the scale. Rather, they are tiny signs that we are doing something right.

I think the same thing goes for hair! You might not be at your desired lengt yet, but you are probably on the right track! Have you had a EHV? I sure have! Here are mine:

- no more flakes/scaling since I started using coconut oil on my scalp
- less breakage during styling

What are some of yours?

Cool thread.

I'll add when I think of something.

 

[faithVA]

Thanks for the thread OP. Don't have anything right now but hopefully soon.

Hair holding moisture without having to m/s 2x day anymore.
Meaning for my hair= porosity is intact
P/M balance is good
I could steal the scalp thing OP but you I have the same victory with the Coconut oil.

MsLi@512 I am waiting for the day when I can say that my hair is properly balanced! And, go ahead and steal the coconut oil EHV. It is a miracle worker!

No more broken off little bits all over the sink and my clothes when I style my hair.

temfash your hair looks sooo good in your siggie! is that your primary protective style or do you have others you can share with us?

CurlyLawGal i have a shelf in my room where i keep all my hair products and for some reason, i can't stand it when it's cluttered that helps a TON. you should try it

Mainly only shed hairs come out.
Hair stays moisturized for a while.
Retaining my growth as I can now feel it on my back. I especially wear tank tops around the house just so I can feel the progress I've made

+ It will happen, Have you tried overnight pre-poo'ing with olive oil on dry hair? Three weeks of that helped me tremendously....

 

[ToSelahWithLove]

I don't have see copious amounts of hair on the sink after... notice the use of "copious" .. there is still some there, but nowhere near as much. lol.

My hair is longer weighted down or greasy. I used to put in WAY too much leave-in/product. Less is more, I've found.

QBOE2001 I haven't been good to my hair lately. That method made no difference in my hair in the past but I didn't have this issue then. I should revist

The string on my pony hasn't broken yet so I can continue with this transitioning style

 

[melissa-bee]

I was able to put my hair in a decent looking bun without combing it.

 

[ANUBIS]

Great Thread! No more tiny broken hairs on my hands when i moisturize

 

[temfash]

@temfash your hair looks sooo good in your siggie! is that your primary protective style or do you have others you can share with us?

Oh thanks for the compliment I mainly do twists/canerows that style was a fluke, I needed a quick style for work so I just did 3 diagonally parted canerows.

 

[me-T]

moisture retention!

 

[CurlsBazillion]

-I have some shrinkage finally (to me shrinkage=health)
-balance stronger hair
-I'm retaining moisture longer. I cowash daily and I don't have to worry about my hair drying out.
