So yesterday I achieved the best hair I have ever had!!!
I finally tried oiling and got a BBB. I was always reluctant to brush my hair (wiht ANY type of brush) because it would create a puffy mess. I used to finger-comb only. Boy was I wrong!!! So here is what I did...
I put my hair up in a high ponytail and saturated my ends with a mixture of my Suave conditioner and some EVOO. I put a plastic bag over the ends to keep them from dripping and so the heat would help moisturize them. I left it in for about an hour. Then, I used a paper towel to soak up the excess of product in my hair. I removed the ponytail holder, took my BBB and started gently brushing the ends of my hair. I started moving slowing towards my scalp, brushing a couple inches higher after a couple of strokes.
By the time I was done, I had moisturized, shiny hair. My curls had relaxed a little bit and I was left with smooth waves and loose curls. No more fluff!!!My DBF came over so we could watch a movie and the first thing he noticed was how beautiful/shiny my hair was :eyebrows:. I am soooo excited. :cheese:
Special thanks to all who encouraged me to start oiling (especially Spidermom;)). I bought the Softee coconut oil jar but it was too waxy and heavy for me. I will keep looking for some pure coconut oil. In the mean time, I have some EVOO at home so I am using that. At first I had a hard time with smell of EVOO but mixing it with my condish really helped.
I will keep experimenting with this method and will try to take pictures of my hair this weekend.
I just had to share this experience. I am so happy I could cry!!!
