Slept with a short, silky nightie secured with a hair band on last night and hair was incredibly silky smooth when I woke up. My hair is normally dry and brittle when I wake and so I usually co-wash to moisturise it and get it back to shape.
My hair this am is partly due to LOC. How much I am not sure.
I slept with the nightie on my head and yes I felt a little silly, as I could not find my regular sleep hat and when I did find it again I discovered it is an absorbent material! It has a sheen on the outside so I was wearing it inside out but as it turns out it is very absorbent material even with the sheen!
Can't believe I never noticed before! Have had it for about 8 months now. :rolleyes:
Also I avoided bleaching/ dying and cutting my hair this weekend even though I do it compulsively every 1-2 years. Major step for me as it took immense will power. I have decided once that giddy compulsive feeling disappears to calmly and in my right mind colour a bit of my hair but it is still huge that I did not do what I always do and have done since age 15 and just say to hell with it, go for it!
I also have decided to keep a scarf on my head when home as I do constantly play with my hair mindlessly. It is not enough for it to be up as I pull bits out to twist or I play with my fringe when reading or what have you. So I have decided to wear my "headscarf" (going to treat myself to one but will keep on with nightie till then) when at home for a week or so with a view to extending that until I break the habit of twirling, twisting and playing with my hair.
I just feel I have reached a milestone. I know it is small but I am going in the right direction.
