The Disaster: Weekly Regimen

It was finals time for me in law school and so I literally did nothing to my hair. I did not wash it, comb it, or even moisturize it. So my hair was a disaster. It was just snapping, crackling, and popping all over the place. I was prepared for the worst though.

I slathered my hair in a coconut and olive oil mix the night before. I pulled a LOT of the broken hairs out. I made sure I could run my hands over it without picking up any loose hair.

I started out with clarifying my hair with Nexxus. I had a lot of build up because of my high use of cones. My moisturizer has the worst ones in it-- I use Silk Elements Silken Child Moisturizing Creme. It also has fabulous ingredients though. But I am going to have to stop using it because it contributed a lot to the dryness of my hair. I am still looking the perfect moisturizer. Hopefully my hairveda purchase will help me out.

In any case, I then used my Elucence shampoo and conditioner. I added some Lustrasilk Shea Butter Cholesterol on top. I sat under the dryer for about 40 minutes. I rinsed, used Porosity Control, and started the LONG process of detangling my hair. I used my Yes to Carrots conditioner but even that could not help me. I had tons of multiple strand knots and mats. I have never had mats before. It was so bad. I had to cut out a lot of my hair. But it's okay. Finals are over and so I am going to start doing a every other day co-washes until the new year. I'll post the end results and a picture.

Listening to Your Hair

I cowashed last night using v05 Free Me Freesia Moisturizing Conditioner. Then I deep conditioned under heat with Elucence MB Conditioner. I decided to just leave it in, take off the shower cap, and dry my hair under my bonnet dryer. My hair felt really dry and crunchy and parts were like glued together. I only used two products so now I have to ask, which one does my hair not like? I am really hoping it is not the Elucence since I got ahead of myself and bought the 33oz size. But the problem could also be that I did not use enough products. Maybe I should have added some more conditioner and sealed. For the next three days, I will just keep tweaking.
