Dear Ladies,
In 2014 I big chopped.
I loved my short hair it was the best hairstyle ever.
I began growing it out and then I started to get over zealous with the hair products and the smoothing, oils, LOC method and the deep conditioners (for like two hours), pre poo, the twisting, the preening, the leave in conditioners, the butters. Eventually my hair got to almost APL and then started snapping off like wild fire even though I was doing my protein treatments.
I had no choice but to shave it off again in June.
Now it is December and I have a good three inches. What I have learnt, since that time I do not use any products for now believe it or not, every now and then if I want to have a different look I may use some rods with some gel, however, I only wash my hair and deep condition for five minutes only. I will incorporate a protein treatment in January.
My hair is fine and all I need is some light misting of water from the shower to bring it alive.
I have saved myself an enormous amount of money by not allowing myself to be a product junkie and I have saved my skin from all of those oils and butters.
I am sure that once my hair starts getting longer I will have to use some products, however I have learnt that everyone's hair is different and that I no longer obsess with the youtube hair channel because someone's hair really has nothing to do with you. Keeping it simple is working for me and not smoothing down my hair so much.
Best,
