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.
