Wash Day with #SheaMoisture


 
 
 
Yes, today is Wash Day. Usually, I look forward to washing my hair, pampering my hair, but today, something was a bit off. I was not sure maybe it was because I used something new.
 
I started as usual, the night before pre-pooing with a mixture of Vatika Coconut oil and Jamaican Black Castor Oil.
 
Now to digress....
 
Yesterday, I went to my local Indian store to buy some grapeseed oil, and saw that they had a new collection of Vatika oil products. I was very excited. As I oohed and ahhed over the new pretty products, I read the ingredients on each product. Mineral oil...mineral oil...MINERAL OIL.
 
Oh, mineral oil, why! why!

 

 


As you know, I don't use mineral oil. I did try to use a product last week that had mineral oil in it and my hair HATED it. It was like, "Girl! What are you doing to me?!". From now on, I am staying clear of Mr. Mineral Oil.

Back to my wash day fiasco...

I woke up this morning to very soft hair, which I loved. Then I washed with my trusted Tresemme Naturals Conditioner, and decided instead of doing a deep treatment with my Nubian Heritage, I would use Shea Moisture Anti Breakage Masque. It was ...err... okay.. and then instead of using my Giovanni Leave In, I would use Shea Moisture Thickening Growth Milk. I bought this in the BOGO on going sale at Target and do my LCO method to moisturize my hair.

My hair felt dry even after application. Not sure why. I know with Shea Moisture Curl and Style it worked great.  I will give this product another try.

As for styling, I decided to do simple medium twists to stretch my hair.  Nothing fancy....

I am also using this technique from NaturalMe4C to super stretch my twists.



 I will do a video on the results in the near future. Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel (DiscoveringNatural).

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.

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...
