January 2016 : Hits & Misses

Hit: Brushing

My scalp really appreciates it. I'll only be able to do it for about the next few weeks or so til more new growth comes in (I just got a relaxer - the brush can actually get to my scalp) but it feels so nice. I've done it once a day, for a few minutes, since my relaxer and it really feels nice.

Reading this made my scalp itch!
 
New hit:
Washing in the sink with my Sally's attachment. It allows me to dc with heat and no more hopping in and out of the shower.

Continued hits:
Cream of Nature Detangling shampoo
Kerastase Therapiste pretreatment
Peppermint oil in anything
Liquid gold oil
Aloe vera juice in my leave in

Miss:
Flatironing weekly . I tried it 2 weeks in a row and I got some breakage :cry3:
Once a month is often enough...
 
Mega hits:

- ORS No-Lye Relaxer Normal

When your hair dresser compliments you post service on the relaxer you picked out, you have a winner :lol: My hair is strong, really straight and soft but has a lot of body. I didn't want to do a review until after the first wash because I get to see how it really performed (without all the salon styling tricks) and I really, really like it. It'll be my staple relaxer. No burning and my hair dresser said it was a really good relaxer. Accessible everywhere so I know exactly what's going into my head and it's a good price.

- Joico Moisture Recovery Balm

Already a hit from last month but I used this for my first wash post-relaxer and it's the only deep conditioner in recent memory that didn't clump up my hair. I don't know what it is... usually my first conditioning post relaxer doesn't go so well but this even has protein in it and my hair feels glamorous.

- Starting off the year with a new cut

Not the cut I wanted but I have healthy hair all around, no breakage and a chance to really take care of my hair and pay attention from the very start. I haven't been able to do this in years... I always wanted to keep some length and was willing to deal with unhealthy ends and extra work. Glad to start fresh and I have a simple regimen to maintain it.
 
(I feel like I'm repeating the same message from thread to thread because I'm in so many different challenges and update threads, lolll anyways, carry on)
