Hello all you long haired beautiful ladies and gents!
Over the past few month I have fallen into a routine that's working well for me, and I just wanted everyone opinions on it verses what my care routine used to look like. Here we go!
This is what I used to do.
Daily washing with harsh shampoo and a coney conditioner
rub my head with a towel like you would when drying a dog
used a serum with even more cones in it
blow fried with my head hanging upside down
ripped a brush through my hair repeatedly while I dried it
brushed it even more throughout the day in a futile attempt to get my hair to not frizz (waves you idiot, WAVES...)
This is what I'm doing now!
Conditioner only washes every 2-3 days
replaced my coney serum with olive oil
combing only in the shower with loads of conditioner on it, the rest of the time I finger comb only.
Don't touch it while it dries. I get pretty little waves!!
Once a month I add a nickle size amount of shampoo to conditioner to avoid scalp pimples. Then I follow that up with more conditioner mixed with some raw honey and a drop or two of olive oil for extra moisture. My hair LOVES the honey!
What do ya'll think??
No protective hairstyles yet, though I can do french braids. I wear them to bed the night before my shower. I don't like braid waves with all my layers and it makes my hair look shorter.
