Feel Free to Add Water



Once a week, I do my wash routine of pre-poo ... co-wash... deep conditioning... styling. However, today, I just got the urge to wash my hair.  To co-wash my hair.  In my last hair growth video, I had said I wanted to protective style my hair often. Which I am still doing that.  I only wear my hair out on Sunday for church.  During the week, it is in two strand twists or cornrows.  Last weekend, I did a flat twist out and this was the first time I ever flat twisted my natural hair. By Sunday evening, I re-flat twisted it and have been wearing my hair like that since. Covered, of course!

Fast forward to this morning. I got back from the gym, starting my shower... I don't wear shower caps any more, so I just got the urge to wash my hair.... Opps... head under the running shower water, hair still in flat twists....Ahhh..... it felt so good. I grabbed the Zayd's Therapeutic Conditioner. Just what I need to relax me after my morning workout. I love the relaxing smell of this product. I layered it on my hair, and made sure it got into all the knicks and crannies of my flat twists. Then, rinsed it out after a couple of minutes.  

My hair felt really soft and my curls were popping!! I was like.. hmm... hello?...Hello... who are you?
 

 


I moisturized with the Goin' Natural Rare Moisture Butter. I need to do a product review on this one. This stuff is GOOD! If not for the price... it would beat my Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie.

I undid one flat twist and redid it into two flat twists. I think I am getting better at flat twisting my hair. Ladies, practice MAKES perfect!!

Moral of this little story, follow your hair cues. If you feel your hair needs a refreshing wash, don't be afraid to add some water, give it a wash! Mid-week, you don't need to do the whole Pre-poo, deep conditioning step. Just co-wash and moisturize. Your hair will thank you for it.

    Your flat twist look perfect. However, I have not perfected flat twists. I just haven't gotten around to trying them.

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discove...
