Thank you for sharing!

Do you have a RevAir? If you do, it can help tremendously
Would advise people to do them only on straight hair to prevent manipulation and breakage and keep them in at least 2 weeks to a month
Some people wear them for 3 to 4 months under another type of protective style and have great results

Ooh, girl. I absolutely will not EVER wear cornrows for months at a time! More power to the ladies who can get away with that. Two weeks is the max for my hair. Unless I'm rocking crochets and they'll be in 3-4 weeks max. Even if I cornrow on blown out hair, they'll be in a different state by the time I go to take them down bc I wet them and wash them so frequently. Lol I'm not really trying to preserve the cornrows at all. For me, they serve a purpose - they make my scalp more accessible for cleaning and applying any scalp aids. Also when it's hot, they allow air to my scalp and make it easier for me to rinse and wet bun.

The video you posted reminded me of that week of crazy ng I had. So I went looking for that post to remind myself what I did that time. I think I might try it again.

Glad you're motivated to revisit what was giving you accelerated growth! You'll definitely make your hair goal this year

That sounds really good!

I find that this removes build-up from my hair. Simple, but effective.

Just putting this here in case anyone else is also TTCing passively or aggressively...

It was hard to track down which Ayurvedic powders to use bc some are only suggested from 2nd trimester on. I'm not currently pregnant but I prefer naturally incorporating things into my lifestyle so that I don't have to think about it - ya know, KISS.

I love Lavender but EO's aren't really studied well for pregnancy use. And Lavender is only recommended from the 2nd trimester on so I'm gonna stick with using a few drops of fragrance oils for my mixtures instead of EOs.

After reading more, and knowing my hair, I've narrowed down my Ayurvedic powder use to 3 powders that I can use from pre-conception through birth:

Amla
Henna
Shikakai

This is good enough for me to mix my products from here on forward.

-I'll infuse Almond oil with Amla for my scalp oil.
-I might make an Amla tea for my daily hair spritz.
-I'll infuse both Henna and Amla in EVOO for my daily hair oil
-I'll continue to mix up my Shikakai cleanser using condish and baby/unscented Castile soap instead of peppermint Castile soap. I might still use lemon EO for that though, since it gets rinsed out. I also used lemon EO during my last pregnancy for my facial astringent mix.
