I just recently made a simple change that resulted in a great A-Ha moment! I have been lamenting that I cant get any volume in my oh so fine flat no grab hair. I have been trying lots of different things to boost it more. I have been doing more Cassias and also have been washing with egg, ritha, shikakai and amla. I braided and wrapped on pillow rollers. All of these helped but my hair was still pretty flat.
My A-Ha moment came by accident. I started to notice that my sleep braid was looking really frazzled in the morning and it was upsetting me that I was getting it so frizzly at night. I was worried about damage. I had tried sleeping with it on top a couple of times but it just hadnt worked the way I did it. So just for the heck of it one night after experimenting with the scalp wash methods, I bent over and braided it from the crown of my head and used Good Days hair pins to secure the braid in a bun on top of my head. This worked like a charm! It was comfy and I slept fine in it. The great thing about it though was that when I took it down I had tons of VOLUME!!! Plus waves from the braid. OMG! I wish I had done this eons ago.
I am feeling so excited because now with this way of wearing it to bed, topped with incorporating scalp washes so I can keep my waves going plus the other volume building wash routing I finally have the volume I have been craving. Thanks to everyone for all of the input on this board. I Love you guys!:happydance::love:
