Ijanei,
I don't have any pics to post yet, I will be working on it though!
I cut off more than my relaxed ends when my transition was over to make sure I got all the relaxer out. So I was left with about 4 inches of hair. My hair is currently collar bone length in the back, but my sides grow slower. My sides are about an inch or more from my collar bone, and my hair has always grown in layers.
My reggie- I think I'm finally settled with one..
Wash every Saturday
I mix 1/3 cup of baking soda with 4 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of ACV.
I spritz my hair with water to dampen it..it's not really wet.
Separate my hair in 4 sections and apply the mixture to my roots first, like I'm apply g a perm! Massage my scalp gently, baking soda is abrasive on it's own, so mo need to scrub. Work mixture down to my ends, and hop in the shower to rinse off.
Condition-
Mix Aubry Organics conditioner with about 2 tablespoons of honey, put on a plastic cap for 20 min and rinse.
Seal-
Mix Weleda Rosemary hair oil with about a quarter sized amount of Giovanni Deep repair for Critically Damaged Hair (my hair is very healthy, but I use it because it's got a little more kick to it rather than a regular hair conditioner).
I found that baking soda cleans my hair so well, there is no need for regular shampoo. The honey balances the abrasiveness of the baking soda.
