Hello eveyone! So, I've been combing through all the threads on this lovely community and finding so much information! It's been kinda overwhelming actually. And I started to think about my hair care routine and what I could do to improve it and worrying about finding better shampoos and conditioners, trying to decide if I should go all organic/cone-free, paranoid about hair breakage and damaging hairstyles...etc. :confused:
And then it hit me. I'm more than willing to change some things about my hair care, but I'm also not going to get overly stressed about changing every little thing. I figure, my hair is pretty healthy right now, so I must have been doing something right up to this point. So, I think I'll stick to what I have been doing all along. I'll dabble with experimentation every now and then, but for the most part, I'll keep to what has worked for me, with the addition to some new healthier habits. Big weight off the shoulders! :cheese:
Ok, onto the questions!
One, V05. It seems like a very popular, inexpensive conditioner that a number of longhairs (if I may be so privileged to call them thus) use. Does it have cones in it? I read the ingredients list, and didn't see anything jump out at me, but I am a newbie, so something may have gotten past me. :shrug:
The other question has to do with shedding. I shower everyday, and have more or less switched to CO and CWC. I wear mt hair in braids mostly, though I want to start wearing buns. Anyways, I tend not to comb my hair out until right before showering and so when I'm doing my hair in the shower, I tend to shed quite a bit. Is it normal to have your 'daily shed' happen all at one time? I do tend to gently massage my scalp while I wash. I can tell the hairs are shedding, and not breaking. I can see the tiny little follicle bulb on the end.
