It's Christmas (well the day after) and I love Christmas! Yet, I decided washing my hair on Christmas (lol) was a good idea. I forced myself into it late last night because it needed to be done and I have to work the rest of the week. So I put a mix of HE Hello Hydration conditioner, Vatika Frosting coconut oil, and grapeseed oil in my hair and covered it with a plastic cap and scarf before bed.
After having a morning filled with family and Christmas traditions, I rinsed my hair and shampooed with S.M. African Black Soap Shampoo and C.O.N. Argan Oil shampoo. I tried another new deep conditioner today! Silk Dreams Soothing Conditioner. It has peppermint oil in it. Since the winter left me with dry scalp and strands, I thought it was the perfect time to give this a try. And I loved it! As soon as I put my plastic cap and scarf on, I could feel the tingling on my scalp. I tied another scarf on top to match my outfit for the day and went out to visit more family. All in all I probably deep conditioned for about five hours.
Once I was back home, I rinsed and detangled my hair in the shower and did a final ACV rinse. Once again, I have to give the Silk Dreams conditioner a round of applause. I applied my usual leave ins, Aphogee Green Tea & Keratin Restructurizer and Elasta QP H-2, and let my hair air dry overnight. I flat ironed my hair because I haven't in awhile and I wanted todo a length check really see what my hair was looking like. So here it is:
I felt like my ends were in a much better state before I saw these pics! Ha! And I might kinda still be in denial about it like umm... did I not comb my hair correctly before I took these shots??? lol! I'm unsure. Well they're not as thick as I would like them to be. Overall, I'm pleased. I think my hair is doing a good job of collectively moving down my back :) I don't have that terrible deep v-shape where only the middle of my hair growing or anything so I'm thankful for that.
