Everything has a season. Everything that is new will become old. In order for something to flourish, it must go through trials. My hair has its seasons, but now I know it. I can honestly say, I know my hair now. What works for your hair….? Like a farmer, we have to have an almanac, to maximize growth. Each phase my hair passes through, I realize I have to change routine or product or frequency. What does your almanac look like? Here is an example of mines.
Phase I (after perm-2 months) (Winter)
-Wash at least 2-3 times a week
(2 conditioned wash, 1 shampoo wash and deep condition)
*Any shampoo will do, and VO5 w/protein mixed with olive oil for conditioned wash.....
-I can style any way I want without thinking.
-Use hardly (or no) weave, braids, wigs, etc.....
Phase II (2 months-3 months) (Spring)- Time of real growth.
-Wash 1-2 times a week
(1 conditioned wash, 1 shampoo wash and deep condition w/OLIVE OIL DEEP CODITIONER)
-All protective styles(braids, buns, cute tucked styles) Style only when my hair is washed. Keep ends tucked.
-hard core protein treatment
Phase III (3 months-4 months) (Summer)
-Wash once a week (deep condition with finesse w/protein & olive oil, shampoo Paul Mitchell, Deep Condition, wash, quick conditioner)
- Wigging it.... (braids underneath)
Phase IIII -Fall time to reap the harvest (A perm)
