Scalp Tx
ACV (1:1)
All Hair QTip Dab On Scalp
Nape - Massaged Scalp
*No longer spray hair to prevent treatment getting on hair and saves a lot of product!

**I will be doing ACV almost daily. The idea is to clean scalp for each new treatment (Rice Water & Hair Growth Oil/Pomade) and not to have pores clogged since I'll be wearing braids longer that 2-3 weeks

DC
Nape Only
Dropped heating cap and its no longer working. If anyone has good suggestions for a new one, let me know!
Using Saran Wrap + Caps for more than a hour to help with DC until getting new heating cap

Today's DC - Avocado Mayo, Herb Infused Glycerin from 2.2.25, Rose Mary/Tee Tree/Peppermint EOs

*When I say "Nape" that includes all hair left out of braids
