Thats is going to last years :(.... Im realizing today that i have one more wash method in my list of to try's and if it goes anything like this last one i will be spending alot more money on my hair than i had planned. COing is working great when i have the time and energy to leave it on long enough (i oil quite a bit so i need at least 45 minutes) to get it clean. But i was hoping for some less time consuming wash method or something that gave me some extra ooph!
My next wash method to try is poo bars. But after the way my length reacted to the indian herbs last night im already feeling a bit down :(. Im not giving up on the herbs my any means i just need to tweak and experiment. I didnt use methi this time so i shall try that int he mix next then try changing the initial mix itself. Maybe remove a cleansing herb or add a third conditioning one.
The problem isnt my natural hair its the dye :(. My bare roots (ok with the exception of molassas treatments) reacted great smooth light even some volume not dry but just right. Even the area that was only dyes once or twice reacted well. Its everything below that that is the problem. It turned into a big matted, rough, hard to detangle mess :'(... Im so sad.
Now im worried i might have the same reaction to poo bars. It hasnt detoured me and there are lots of types to try even soap bars if i need more moisture. Im just feeling downa bout my experimenting. It takes me so much physical energy to do it in the first place to have it turn out bad enough to need fairly immediate fixing is dicouraging.
Today has been chaos so im going to CO tomorow when i have some peace and hopefull will feel up to it. That and a vinager rinse should do me :). Sorry this is more whining than anything but to make this worth while....
Has anyone else have methds that worked on their virgin hair but not dyed? I know we have a pretty good portion of the community in the grow out phase like me. If so could you/how did you resolve it?
Thanks for listening im not having such a great day outside of hair as well.
