I Messed up!!! Mindless Mixing...

[joytimes10]

I needed a co-wash. This dry winter air is no friend to my hair. I only wash 1x per week b/c I am afraid of shedding all my hair away.

Anyway, I grab my mix bowl and start dumping stuff in it - Silk elements condish (green bottle), Silken elements silken child condish (yellow and red tube), Hairveda 24/7 and SitriNillah Deep Conditioning Masque, Methi Sativa tea, glycerin, olive oil, castor oil - I think (don't know)that's it. Don't ask me the proportions, I have no idea. I blended it all together and saturated my hair, then put on a plasic cap for about an hour and 1/2. I debated going to sleep because I was exhausted but decided to rinse it out in fear of protien overload.

Well, my hair has NEVER, EVER feel this great, this deep into a stretch (24 weeks). Slip galore, soft, strong and most important, an easy detangle and no shedding. I usually loose quite a bit of hair on wash day (think - small cat) and it's usually very tramatic for me. On this occasion, lost maybe 10 strands. That was Thursday night. My hair still feels like I just got out of the shower. Amazing!! My hair is waving and behavin' and i feel like I can stretch forever.

Now I'm mad b/c I can never replicate the mix I created.

Oh well. Here's to lessons learned.

Sounds great. Too bad I'm a reformed PJ. My suggestion... I fyou plan to do this again, keep a journal of it. Record your measurements and I'm sure that you will perfect it.

That heading had me scared for a second. I thought you had a setback!

Girl, I came in here expecting to read ''OMG, I messed up! I mixed a bunch of stuff and all of my hair fell out!''

I'm glad that your hair feels so fab, but it sucks that you can't remember what was in your mix Were you eyeballing it? Maybe you could mix it again, by memory I really hope you can replicate it!

BTW, have you tried taking garlic for the shedding?

That happened to me before! I was experimenting with some Ayurvedic products and my hair came out soooo soft, but I had no idea how to duplicate the results! lol At least now you know you have the tools to do it again if you wished.
