Ok, I'm finally back after an unintentionally long hiatus.
I've actually gone back to the basics this time around.
I'm keeping it as simple as possible while still attempting to maintain a healthy hair regimen.
It's a little experimental, as far as styling product(s) go, but that's about it.
Prior to washing, I used As I Am JBCO Water in the place of regular water in a spray bottle.
I use this now when I'm doing my scalp (spot) treatments.
I followed with iQ Natural JBCO Lavender Scent Cold-Pressed Oil (blended with the actual Lavender Essential Oil).
It has a very strong scent!
I do mean proceed with caution!
It's a heavily fragrant Lavender, that leans less-floral than it does straight up perfume-y.
I use this oil to spot treat the areas of extreme density loss, breakage, and other random trouble spots.
I sprayed all-over again with the As I Am JBCO water.
Then, I followed up with the Not Your Mother's Naturals Sicilian Blood Orange & Black Currant conditioner as my main detangling product.
Split my hair down the middle, used the conditioner to detangle, and tackle the matting at my roots, then braided up the 1st section.
Next, repeated the same steps to finish up the other side of my hair.
Finally, covered both sections with a plastic conditioning cap.
So this is a very time consuming method for me!
I do make sure to do this all, when I can actually afford to do so.
I don't recommend trying to fit this into an already time-restricted/extremely-limited schedule.
I cleansed my hair with Honey's Handmade Pumpkin & Safflower Apple Butter Co-Wash.
It's perfectly scented for Autumn!
Does have the natural Soap Root cleansing ingredient.
Great slip!
It's tad thick, but a little goes a long way.
I sectioned my hair into six sections, from the original 2 braids on either side of my head.
I've had to do re-do how I do everything!
I no longer use high-slip, heavy products in the shower for detangling my hair.
Honestly I'm amazed that I caught onto the issue in time!
I apparently have more fine strands than the previous estimated amount.
As much I as I don't like light-weight products. I can now understand why some people might gravitate towards such products.
The amount of weight, plus my overly-rough detangling methods, were causing increased breakage!
I've since adjusted the amount of heavier products I use now.
While slowly growing through so much of my hair product stash...
Choosing to use the gels/mousse styling products for the days that:
I'm actually going out,
Possibly out in a vastly different climate, etc.
Afterwards, I used Nature's Little Secret Rose Hydrating Conditioner as my dc.
Turns out that wasn't necessary, could've just skipped this tbqh.
I find the Honey's Handmade Co-Wash to be more moisturizing, than the NLS Rose Hydrating Conditioner.
Definitely, an interesting change of events.
I'm still on the fence about using hair clips to keep my hair sectioned off, as long as my hair is properly detangled, I can easily just Bantu-Knot off the section.
Anyways...
I skipped the leave-in.
Lately, I've been loving this new, creme-moisturizing styling product.
I re-wet my still sectioned off hair.
Using luke-warm water in a spray bottle.
I re-wet each section prior to applying the Jazz Up My Curlz Grapeseed Buttercream (with Cold-Pressed Grapeseed Oil & Shea Butter).
I'm currently air-drying my hair.
This has great slip!
With a nice cake batter scent.
It's not too strong upon application, lingers a bit, but doesn't stay strong.
It will re-appear when refreshing (even with water).
It's a thick, creamy consistency.
More of a creamier, whipped-buttery product, than anything else.
However, it's still light & airy.
I've long noticed a long standing problem with my particular hair.
No matter how thoroughly I've detangled and sectioned off my hair.
By the time I get around to styling it... There's still tangles, extra shed hair, & matting at the roots.
I can't stand it, personally.
But I'm begrudgingly, beginning, to accept this as the nature of my hair.
For references:
Low density, thin hair.
Medium porosity (with a area of low porosity in front/bangs).
S. majority curls, with some O. curls, and a few randomly scattered L. curls.
Majority medium &, more than previously guessed at, fine strands scattered throughout.
Satiny texture,
Afro-textured/Kinky-Curly? <.< (I'm still on the fence about how to truly categorize my multi-textured hair).
3b/3c (with a few random 2c/3a)
I'm just lazy and don't take the time.
