I found this strategy on someones blog who used this on her natural daughter who had waist length natural hair.
.
The status of my hair at the moment is: type 4 a/b, transitioning 23 weeks post.
Every time i wash my hair (once every 2 weeks) tiny pieces of my ends break off regardless of how my moisture/protein balance is, so the growth for those 2 weeks only come off at the ends whilst washing. Sometimes my hair is fine and i feel that it doesn't need to be washed, but my scalp always lets me down.
My scalp used to get very dry and flaky, but since being off the relaxer this has reduced dramatically but i still get flaky after about 5 days. Oiling my scalp is only effective for about 2 days, then i get a flaky oily scalp.
.
So this low manipulation technique is going to consist of an apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil and water mix, and i am going to part my hair in too sections and wipe my scalp clean, by dipping a clean rag in to the mixture and wiping, probably like every 5 days (pretty much when i feel like it). I will clarify my hair with baking soda rinse, maybe every 3-4 weeks.
With this technique i hope to save my ends being broken to much from regular washing whilst keeping my scalp clean and bacteria-free which will help my pores stay free from clogging and provide maximum growth.
