What are you doing to/for your hair right now?

I'm having a bout of insomnia and decided to take advantage of the awake time by:

-infusing ACV with chamomile
-steeping catnip tea for the week

My hair is lightly oiled and in loosely floating around in its happy sleep cap.

Out of interest, what are the rest of you doing to/for your hair right now?

Sitting on my hands while it air dries. I used to think that if I didn't comb it when it was wet it dried weird and messy. I've recently realized that messiness is actually wave, and I'm trying to learn to respect that. It's hard, considering I used to watch tv and comb it over and over to make it dry faster.

I sympathize. I have discovered I am wavier than I realized since I joined the LHC. I always thought my hair was messy unless I put it up after it dried. In reality, my hair was objecting to me messing with its wave. I'm being kinder to my waves now!

Now: hair up in a messy morning bun. I didn't get all of the oil out in my wash on Sunday morning so my ends are a bit shiny. They'll survive until the next one (and may even thank me for it!

Letting it air dry loose. Took it out of a damp braided bun about an hour ago..

I washed my hair today so I have it in two braids with a little bit of olive oil in the ends. Before I washed it this morning I tried the inversion method, so hopefully I'll see some growth from it once I do it for the rest of the week!

I am about to wash it right now.

I'm relaxing in a braid after some scalp massage and coconut oil.

I have just applied oil to my hair and have put the hair in a braid. Would be washing them tomorrow with Soapnut concoction as this is the only thing that'll help to get all that oil out!!

Have you tried using a conditioner to cut the oil? I put a conditioner on my hair about 20-30 minutes before shampooing/rinsing out the oil...makes it much easier to get off my hair!

I haven't used heat tools in 4 weeks and will continue to not use them. (My hair has already grown a half inch!)

No dyes of any kind.

I do a protein hair mask for at least 1 hour once a week and a Castor Oil/Coconut Oil mask once a week as well.

I wash every other day.

Silk pillowcase!

So far I have had no real issues with split ends and I absolutely feel my hair being healthier, which is very exciting!
