5 day hair YAY



I maintained my co-wash for 5 days

No co-washing at all for 5 days! it felt great and it was not even something I was trying for. It happened by accident.

Tuesday Morning I did a co-wash and returned home and got ready for bed as usual. I normally just sleep on a satin pillow and do nothing to my hair. I get up wet it and go.
But lately my hair has been really wild and it was getting oil on my face so I decided that I would put my hair in a low ponytail and wrap a silk scarf around my edges to keep them flat.
The next morning I woke up, took my hair down and to my surprise---no fuss hair.
I only needed to fluff my hair out a bit and I was then ready to start my day.
I never expected that it would keep happened every day. LOL

Grrr,  I wish I took pictures showing each day. To be honest, I like my day 5 hair better than day 1!

May hair was stretched a bit and the girls became soft and fluffy. It looks more NATURAL albeit not as defined.

Brief hair update.

Since I've been adding a bit of castor oil to my hair I've noticed that it has held moisture longer. However, if i use to much it coats my hair to the point where it gets really dry (if that makes any sense) so I found a solution, a happy balance:
This product applies to my edges and lightly on my hair before I apply my gel



And I get glossy control with out making my hair to "greasy".


Having said that, my hair is going through a bit of a "bratty" stage. For some reason some of my curls are bouncy and some are hanging. I blame it on the multi-texture element of my hair. My finer ringlets hang longer because of the heavier oil :(

Protective style update #1




Okay so my protective twist style did not last. I just did not like how they looked, my hair is just too thin. 
That did not stop me from trying a mini plait style LOL :): 










THen I took them out (it was not a good look at all!!) and decided on the protective Pony.









I found my beloved CASTOR OIL
and used it to moisturize and add shine to my hair. My hair just LOVES castor oil, I'm not sure why I stopped using it. Maybe I left it behind when I went through my " product junkie" phase LOL
I also added a bit to my Aragon EcoStyler, to control my ends.
I like my little pony puff. But shrinkage is a beast!



My New homemade spritz that I'm in love with includes:

Aloe Vera juice, caster oil, Kukui nut oil, tea tree oil, rosemary oil and Oyin Handmade dew moisturizer. 
OMG my hair is so so soft!
