I finished day 7 on Saturday since I skipped a couple days.

Also I've been protective styling with a wig for the first time. I love the texture it blends in nicely with my real hair when it's blow dried and I'm comfortable enough to wear it to work.

I'm about to DC in a few minutes I kept putting it off for awhile.
 
I cowashed my hair Tuesday morning with vo5 kiwi conditioner. Followed that with some porosity control. Rinsed and applied leave ins.

This was all done while in flat twists.
Easy.

Next wash will be Saturday. Thinking about doing a mini "use up your stash" challenge for this conditioner stockpile from 2013.

I'll try some sort of conditioner cocktail during Saturdays wash.
 
This morning I prepooed with Mizani Moisturefuse mixed with aloe juice and castor oil for 30 minutes.

Then I put Kurleebelle almond shea butter shampoo right on top of the prepoo, detangled and rinsed it out.

Next I DC'ed with matrix conditioning balm mixed with Mizani Moisturefuse conditioner under hooded dryer for approximately 30 minutes.

I'm about to hot oil rinse with a castor and sunflower oil mix and rinse it out and will be adding Redken anti-snap leave in sealed with sunflower oil. Put my hair back in three big celies, wig it and done for the day.
 
DC on dry hair, cleansed with cowash, then styled.

Soft. Soft. Soft.

Products used....

GVP knockoff for Nexxus Humectress with Rosemary tincture & Aphogee essential oils for the DC
Eden Bodyworks Coconut cleanser mixed with olive oil for the cowash
Miracle 7 Silk for the leave-in/heat protectant
Tiny bit of Aphogee essential oils for finishing

YES I need to go back to giving myself hot oil treatments. Hopefully this will combat my frizzy bushy ends until I finally get around to trimming. I stopped doing them a long time ago after I tried while wearing a sew in.. With silky Indian virgin hair -_-
 
Going to do a hair update this weekend. Life's been busy which is good in a sense. I'm getting out more and being productive so I have less free time to procrastinate on the Internet.

I've decided to do some crochet braids. I need to this about a way to do it so I can throw my hair up into a bun with a scarf everyday and it looks like my real hair. Will update more after I've done it if I do it.

I hope everyone is well and is have a good start to the new year
 
Only got round to washing my hair today (after two nights baggying). I used a mix of protein and moisture conditioners (diluted and warmed) before rinsing and applying my clay mix.

Finished with an oil rinse (wheatgerm, grapeseed and sunflower) and KCCC.

I've braided the front in two braids and intend on clipping the back up for the week.
 
As for me today, I prepooed with Matrix Biolage Hydrasource with Aloeconitioning balm mixed with sunflower and palm oil and a dash of aloe jiuce.

It felt much better than it did last week. I suppose I can use it as a deep conditioner this way, but the prepoo is working swimmingly so why mess with a good thing?

I used Redken Time Reset shampoo (made my hair feel squeaky clean without feeling hard) and now I'm deep conditioning with Redken Time Reset Youth Revitalizer replenishing deep treatment for 20 minutes under hooded dryer.

This shampoo and treatment also have ceramides and camellia oil in them. I'm a little excited about that so we'll see how good it is for my hair once I'm done. I'm washing this out and finishing off with a palm oil rinse leaving some of it on my hair.

I'll be moisturizing with Redken Anti Snap leave in sealed with sunflower oil. That's me for my hair day.
 
did a henna last night on a whim. Went back to good old jamila with her easy rinse out. DCd over night with SSI avocado condish and just rinsed out. Will let hair tshirt dry for 30 min and add biolage hydrasource leave in and top with SSI coconut pudding. No oils until next week bc of the henna.

Oh wow, a year. That means it must be giving you benefits to your liking, yes? On the website, there are tinctures. Is that where you're getting the silica additive?

Yes, my hair is stronger and shiny, my nails grow like weeds and my skin is looking good. I was hoping it could help with old acne scars but no luck. I am buying the loose tea from an Asian grocery store in my neighborhood and the liquid silica supplement from vitacost. The brand is Eidon Ionic Minerals. The brand is well known and I also use their liquid zinc for my deficiency. Its a small bottle, but I only use 2 dropperfulls to my bottled water a day. I would say the bottle lasts me about 2 -3 months. Here's the website if anyone is interested. http://www.vitacost.com/eidon-ionic-minerals-silica-liquid-concentrate
I used to buy the beautifully bamboo tea on amazon but the price for the loose bulk tea is way cheaper and more convenient.
