I am on my third batch of sprouted fenugreek oil.
Thank you,
@newgrowth15 .
Using the Oil:
I like to mist my hair with warm water and then put the oil in my parts, then through the scalp of each braided section. Then, I pull my hair up and cover with a plastic cap and put a scarf over the plastic cap for bed. When I wake up my hair is super soft and moist.
New Challenge Arises:
My Hair Ends were getting tangles and I found myself getting knotted ends EVERY DAY. I was getting micro-breakage due to removing some kind of knot.
New Modification:
So, I grease up my ends, roll the hair up and then secure it with a coated rubber band that I put around the hair very loosely. The balled up hair is the same length as my front braids so I look like I have a braided 'bob'.
Pictures from Left to Right:
- First picture shows how sprouted fenugreek oil keeps my hair soft, shiny and lubricated. My hair is less wiry when dry.
- Second picture shows one of the balls or back braids rolled up and secured with a coated rubber band.
- The last picture with my hand splayed open is showing how I ball up the back braids, which are the ones that get tangled on the ends and knot. But, I leave the braids in front as they are, the ones in FRONT of my ear parts, with curls on the ends because the front ones don't knot like my back braids. That is due to the fact that my hair in the front is a different texture than the hair in the back. The hair in the back is a coarser texture.
So, I am trying this until December. I was getting knots, breakage and tangles
everyday even though the ends were lubricated. I tried to ignore it but got tired of hair tangling. My hair needs more protection. Hence, I've put in these balls 'back into my head/hair style" which is hair rolled up and secured with a coated rubber band. The balled up braids are only on the four braids in the very back of my head.
I've been refining and tweaking my hair process for years, and my hair says,
"Still I Rise", and brings me another challenge I have to address and try to resolve with yet another modification to my hair regimen. I can't complain because as a result, my hair knowledge continues to get deeper and wider with every modification/challenge iteration.
