I'm not exactly new here as I made the account about two years ago. I stopped being active here, as many things happened in my life around that period, and in the last year I drastically changed my hair routine... And I've no idea where to (re)start now! So I thought it would be neat to start with a little recap of the time I wasn't active on LHC and get my hair thoughts detangled

About a year ago I chopped all my hair from collarbone to pixie length, got back from henna to my natural blonde. Last month I finally found a hairdresser who works with curly hair and I'm now ready to grow my hair much longer. My current length is just about 1cm shy of shoulder length, and my goal is waist for now. I also realised that the CG method wasn't working out for me, so now I'm exploring different products and practices that might suit me better - however, I'm keeping some elements of the CG method I enjoyed!

My current routine is oiling my hair the night before wash day, CWC washing with a shampoo that does have sulfates (it's a local brand of shampoo and it contains nettle and panthenol, I really enjoy it as a clarifying shampoo), then just putting a little bit of curling product and letting it air dry. Wash days are once every week or two, depending on how my scalp feels, and in the meantime I refresh it when needed with the Avocado co-wash by Lush, which i think is alright, but couldn't suffice for a heavy-duty wash.

This one's a little longer but I hope to reconnect with the community soon enough! Cheers
