Hey yall, havent checked in for a while, and I wanted to update since I tweaked my regimen a bit and added new products. This evening I did a clarifying ACV/water rinse, and
this was my first time doing that EVER. My hair loved it! Hair felt so clean and my curls were more defined, without applying shampoo! (Usually I apply diluted shampoo to my scalp and hair, but this time only applied to scalp to cleanse away all the oil/sulfur).
Followed up the ACV rinse with Roux Porosity Control (gr8 results), Nexxus Phyto Organics Babassu Mud Hair Revitalizing Trtmnt (protein), Shea Moisture Deep Trtmnt Mask (moisture), then left in a cheapie--White Rain Cuke/Melon Cond. This was my first time leaving in a conditioner and not rinsing it out...and I like the results! (I got the cue to try this from CelinaStarr, who is my hair inspiration)! I was going to do an oil rinse after the left in cheapie cond, but I like to add my oils after my leave-in creams so the creams can penetrate first, and the oils are to seal them in.
I applied my MTG oil mix to my scalp, as well as Megatek, and massaged in. Then, applied hemp seed, Shikakai, Amla, and Hot 6 oils to hair after leave-in creams were in (yep, all of em, cuz my hair loves oil). Combed thru (very little hair shed/lost in detangling), gelled back into wet bun, and thas it. This will be my regimen weekly for everything except the Roux. I will do Roux every other week to once a month, and alternate doing oil rinses every other week.
So far I've been using grape seed, hemp seed, Hot 6 Oil, and ayurvedic oils...but I'm waiting on an order of sweet almond, avocado, jojoba, and safflower oils.
The PJ is surely creeping back up after being suppressed forcefully for the past 4 years! I was doing good...[sigh]
