Are Our Hair Really Healthy or Are We Putting A Bandage On It?
Monday afternoon, when I was sick, I was laying in bed with my hair loose though resting my hair on my satin pillow case. Sunday I had just did my wash and air dried with leave-ins. Before I slept that night I put on my silk scarf but did not bag my ends. The only thing I did different with my wash was I did my DC w/Mizani moisturfuse, then used Aveda DR, etc. (My staple DC is Aveda DR w/oils).
Well that night I could tell my hair wasn't doing good b4 putting on my scarf. I was wondering, when our hair is looking nice because - smooth or soft texture, moist, etc because we did all the steps, is it truly healthy? If only one time I did not use heat to straighten out the texture and my hair felt not as moist, is my hair really healthy?
Am I (are we) putting a bandaid on it? Yesterday and this morning, I really moisturized my hair. Last night after moisturizing and sealing I put hempseed oil (ceramide) and this morning I heavily moisturized and sealed my hair.
Oh I just remember something else I did. I used a sample of MT shampoo (yes it did have SFL - that why I wouldn't buy it). The lady said it did not dry out her hair. So I took a sample to try out. When I washed my hair it didn't feel stripped.
Okay I am rambling, what do you think? Are we bandaging the supposed healthiness of our hair, if we can't do all the steps in our process? If we leave out a step or steps it doesn't feel and look the way you want it to be. Our state of our hair that we assume is healthy is it really healthy?
I hope I explained myself clearly, what is your opinion on this?
