I washed my hair twice with Suave
Tropical Coconut Shampoo to get all the clippings out and I've
regretted it ever since. I don't typically
use shampoo on my hair so my hair was extra crunchy and extra
itchy after that. *bother* That stuff used to be my favorite shampoo
too. I think I'll dilute it for later use. My hair was very angry
indeed  .
I've been trying to perfect my routine, and with that been trying out many different conditioning treatments. I've tried 2 very different ones in the past week and I've found an absolute favorite. Honey!
Avocado Treatment
A member on the nappturality.com
message board suggested using avocado as a conditioning treatment.
I'm down for whatever so I mashed up a perfectly good 1/2 an avocado
(that I would have gladly eaten), added some jojoba
oil treatment and put it into my hair. I covered my hair with
a conditioner cap, then tied
it down with a scarf and went to sleep. I didn't see much difference
in the morning to tell you the truth and was bothered that I had used
my breakfast in my hair.  You
live. You learn.
Honey Mix Up Treatment
I got the idea for using honey in my hair from nappturality.com
(I love that site, can you tell?). At anyrate, it is said to be a
natural humectant. I mixed honey, shea
butter, jojoba treatment
and placenta treatment
in a bowl (not that much 'cause I don't have much hair). I zapped
the mixture in the microwave for 1 minute and it
came out looking like syrup (with a little less thick consistancy).
I then sectioned my hair with my fingers and added the mixture liberally
to my scalp and hair. As I was doing this I could feel coils defining
themselves, especially in the back of my hair. I was very shocked.
After I'd finished I put on a plastic cap and did chores for a couple
hours. I sat under the dryer on high for 10 minutes then took the
cap off. To my amazement my hair was so shiny, soft and curly! My
boyfriend even came by and ask what I had done. Needless to say this
was a great success. I showered and rinsed out the mixture thouroughly,
then washed with conditioner and that's it! I wore my hair tied back
that night (New Year's Eve). It's not the best picture, but here is my Old Year's Night look.
