As I'm going through this hair challenge, I'm learning that this challenge is more about learning about my hair. Over the past couple of days, I think I have been experiencing some breakage when I twist my hair or maniupulate my hair in any manner. It's not severe, but I can notice it. Because of the breakage, I know that I need to do a protein treatement (which should be done every 6 weeks anyway. I'm wayyyyyy behind schedule).
My point in rambling about my breakage is to say that this hair challenge and blog is more about experimenting and learning about our hair. I'm starting to actually figure out what my hair likes. It's a living, breathing organism as far as I'm concerned. If I take care of it the way it wants to be taken care of, I'll get the results that I want.
So....change in my regimen:
1. When it gets very cold, I will go to washing my hair twice a month.
2. Deep condition with conditioner, honey, and olive oil. My hair has been respoinding to olive oil very nicely.
3. I don't always have to detangle my hair with a paddle brush. If my hair is in a stretched state, which it usually is, it should be much easier to finger detangle. Detangling with a paddle brush every time I wash or condition is unnecessary and putting unnecessary stress on my hair.
4. Still debating, but I might go to deep conditioning twice a week as well. Alternating weeks with shampooing. I'm reading a natural hair book now (THANK GOD I'M NATURL) and learning some new things that I think I want to implement into my regimen.
So ladies and gent....I hope your challenge is going well. Any questions, comments, or concerns, let us know.
Nia.
