Thank you!! If anything I at least got rid of a ton of knots. I hope I can move forward from here as well

Interesting! I have a SLS shampoo that has oil in it and I love it, I would be keen to up the oil dose with additional coconut oil.

I'm currently doing a protein treatment / rice water rinse. I've never really figured out if my hair loves protein or not... I usually do one or two a year... I'm might try more regular treatments to see what happens.

I’ve got some henna on my head for the next couple hours. I oiled pretty heavy (actually heavier than I ever have before) so we’ll see if that changes anything. I did not end of making conditioner because I got involved with other things (dividing like 500 irises) but I think I have some pre made stuff laying around somewhere

My hair isn’t too dry after henna last night, but I also didn’t find the cheapo conditioner I thought I had! But made do anyways. Hair was so shiny this morning, and hubs said “10 times softer than it was yesterday, and it was pretty soft yesterday” anyways just made my conditioner mix... btms, herbal tea, glycerine, oat protein, argan jojoba avocado oils and vitamin e. There was just a tiny bit left in the pot after I filled the conditioner bottle so I plopped it on my hair.

I’ve just washed it (WO) and applied avocado oil to the length while wet then rinsed it out with garnier papaya hair food (combed through). The avocado oil smells strong, thankfully the papaya has improved the smell! Currently letting it air dry. It feels clean and soft, will see what it’s like when it dries.

Henna on my roots. Tomorrow morning will be indigo.

'll be doing my hot oil treatment with castor and jojoba tomorrow, I won't use olive oil or coconut with it this time as the last two times I added extra oils with it and it was much too heavy for my hair and wouldn't come out unless I re-pooed it which kind of defeats the whole purpose

Making herbal shampoo mix, boiled it all together and it will sit overnight. I’ll blend it tomorrow, strain it out, and add some more water to make a bigger batch, to use and to freeze. Have some catnip tea brewing with catnip from the garden, first batch of homegrown catnip rinse. Had to share some with my cat so he approves. Overnight pre poo with coconut oil right now. Haven’t shampooed since Friday so tomorrow will be the 4th day, though Saturday hardly counts because I hennaed that day. Still a stretch from pre-June daily washing anyways so small steps!
