Last year this time I didn't really have a plan. This year I think I have at least a basis to get me started.
I've already colored my hair for this month. For the rest of the month I plan to water rinse or cowash every 4 days. I will do a 4 step sealing method using a leave-in, glycerin spray, moisturizer and a sealer of some sort (gel, grease, butter or heavy cream). I will do my best to finger detangle. And I will keep my hair in the same flat twist style for the month. This month I'm wearing my flat twist all going to the right side.
If I really need to I will do a very gentle shampoo on my scalp.
On each of my rinse days I will be focusing on ways to better manage my ends. I really need to take notice of what works and what doesn't.
Happy New Year to you too!!
I’ve learned that I must have a solid plan too. I’m not one of these lucky gals that can grow butt length hair on a whim. My back will grow and retain with little effort but my sides and front are super fragile. That’s why I’m keeping it super simple with just moisturizing, sealing, and hiding my ends. My back is still too short from wearing the tapered cut after my BC, so I can’t bun yet. I’m wearing the two French braids until I can bun. Being able to bun is my mini goal for this year.
I do tuck and pin the ends of my braids to keep them out of the wind though. Seems to be working out well thus far.
Coloring my hair is something I think about. I only have a few strands of gray but of course they will begin to take over as time goes on. Do you use semi or permanent to color your hair?
I tried using henna once and it was such a mess!! It made my hair super hard too. I wanted it to work but I don’t think I did it right. Anyone had good results?
