Good afternoon ladies. I trust everyone is well today and preparing for a great Easter. I have NOT been taking great care of my hair as of late. I have kept it braided up under wigs for over a year now with a week or two worn in a wash and go in between. I have been treating it, but not as often I used to.
Today I decided to give her some love and care. I used some Kerastase Densit Deep Conditioner mixed with a little Olaplex #2 Conditioner as a treatment. My hair has really good weight to it and this pleases me. I have not straightened it in over a year and a half.
I Shampooed with Design Essentials Neutralizing Poo - I have gone back to using demi-permenant coloring by Joico and Matrix. I have noticed that as long as I neutralize my hair properly (washing 3 times and a fourth time - I leave the Neutralizing poo on my hair about 10 minutes before rinsing out), I have avoided any breakage caused by them this way. Joico has a #5 Developer which is much less damaging to the hair and Matrix has #10.
Honestly, there is seemingly no difference in the efficacy of them. They have both proven to be quite effective in how well they color my hair. I will use some SSI Marula Mallow Leave-in & Styler before braiding back up to wear under wigs for a week or two. I do hope to post a little more frequently when I have the time as I have missed all of you
