I Love My Hair

So, I am totally in love with all things hair. And a dream of mine is to one day own my own Natural Salon & Spa. It will be catered to women who choose to rock their hair sans relaxer, texturizer, etc. But of course, I'm going to hold it down for my relaxed heads! I've been obsessed with the care of hair since I can remember. I used to get in trouble for being in the mirror so much. But there aren't a lot of salons out there who specialize in the care of our hair. So, that's my dream.

With that being said, It's been awhile since I posted about my hair. Thanks to being jobless, I now have the time. (Did you sense the sarcasm?)

I washed my hair last night and deep conditioned with one of my concoctions. I then rinsed that out and put Suave vanilla conditioner and Curls milkshake in my hair and left it to dry. That was okay. I was trying out Teri's routine from "Tightly Curly". The link to her spot is on the left. I didn't have time to run a comb through it because I had to go to Bible Teaching. So, I just plopped the conditioner in and hoped for the best. It was cool. My curls didn't frizz up. They did shrink though. But that is inevitable.

The pictures below are of the next day (today). I got in the shower and ran some water through it and the steam puffed up my curlies. I like it better this way. One day I'ma pick it out into a fly fro.

I colored it at the end of last summer. Big mistake! I can't wait until this color grows out. The new growth is so pretty and moisturized. But the hair that is dyed is kind of dry. Any suggestions?

This is my hair after I let it puff up in the shower. I like! =)

This was my hair before I got in the shower. I woke up this morning and put it in two ponytails. It kind of looks like a twist out, doesn't it?

Has anyone ever tried putting glycerin in their leave- in conditioner? I'm thinking about trying that for my wash-n-go's. What are your hair routines????

I add vegetable glycerin to my concoctions. Also, I dyed my hair a while back and that part gets dry. I add oil directly to my ends after doing my regular regimen.

I find that in the morning putting plain vegetable glycerin on my hair then stepping into the shower is a great way to moisturize without adding products to the hair.

Hey, your hair looks great. I like to use Organics Hair Mayonnaise in the morning to soften my hair. I spritz my hair with water and rub the mayo in, with olive or jojoba oil as well.
