I'm keeping notes :]
Baking Soda Cleanse
Remove product build up with a mixture of
**3 tablespoons of curly friendly conditioner & 1 tablespoon baking soda.
Baking soda is alkaline (raise cuticle/open hair shaft)
**Follow with an apple cider vinegar rinse (acidic will close half shaft)
Honey CONDITIONER
restores moisturize.
1/2 cup of honey (microwave this to warm/ it can lighten hair if you don't)
1 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Olive Oil Spray
like Pam (limited use or well, oily hair)
For shine & frizz control.

Day 1: Co-wash & Home-made hot oil treatment
Today I am starting co-washing.
I used White Rain (no sulfates, -cones or protein)

Used a t-shirt to wrap my hair up in for 20 mins. Nice little waves! :D
I've done no shampoo for weeks before:
- It's easy to style.
- It gets oily (not greasy)
- Thus, no more thirsty hair
- No more dry, itchy scalp
- No more frizz
Of course I'm going to look into a light shampoo for CGs.
Tonight, I am going to bed with a homemade hot oil treatment. I poured some extra virgin olive oil into a bowl and mixed some of my conditioner in it. Put it in the microwave for 10 seconds to be safe. I don't want burn my fingers lol I am putting it on dry hair. Am i doing it right? LOL
Well, I've put my hair up into 2 sections. Tiny hairtie for the back and a scrunchie for the rest & top. I wrapped and pinned a grocery bag on my head to keep clean!
I don't expect my hair to get curls because my hair type falls into type 2 at a certain length. It's more wavy than anything but it's too short right now to expect much. I'll rather get into the habit now :)
No more heat for me!
I've also heard about Nature's Gate,VO5, Jessicurl & Suave Naturals.
I am only familiar with VO5.
