Bantu Knot Out With Oil Only



 Last night, I decided to do Bantu Knots using just oil. My hair was previously in  flat twist out, and I did not see any need in putting in moisturizer. So, smart little me, decided to just put some oil and cross my fingers that my hair will feel soft the next day.

Well, it did feel soft!  It always does when I use the Goin' Natural Morargan Gold Moroccan Oil. However, the ends were DRY.  Ouch! I remembered something that Naptural85 said in her latest video regarding Pros and Cons of Long Natural Hair. She mentioned that "as your hair gets longer, it takes a longer time for the natural oils on your scalp to travel to the ends of your hair" , which is the oldest part of your hair. I feel that this is one of the issue. However, I should have sealed in the moisture with either a thicker oil like Jamaican Black Castor Oil, or my Whipped Shea Butter.
Lesson learnt.

I still love my hair. It looked BIGGER today.  The camera does not show the size.. *FROWN!!!

One little trick I learnt!

Did you know that when you take a picture of yourself in the mirror you appear smaller than you are? LOL! I'm not a big person, but I always notice this.  Cool, huh!

This is the picture of the mirror-me. I did this so that you can see how big my hair is getting.  LOL.


 Now, this is the non-mirror-me.  My hair appears smaller.  Oh-well...

I wanted to put a flower in my hair, but couldn't find one that matched, so, I "borrowed" the girls' little head band.. Nearly broke it on my BIG HEAD.  LOL.
 
Looks cute, eh?  Can't tell it is a headband. Cool trick!

Can Split Ends be Genetic?

  @garshellm While split ends are often caused by environmental factors like heat styling, sun damage, and mechanical stress, there can be a genetic component to split ends as well. If you want one on one help with your hair, you can use this link to contact me  http://bit.ly/NaturalHairCoach Some people may be more prone to split ends due to their hair's natural texture and structure, which can be influenced by genetics. For example: 1. Hair texture: People with fine or brittle hair may be more susceptible to split ends due to the hair's inherent weakness. 2. Hair porosity: Hair with low porosity may have a harder time absorbing moisture, leading to dryness and split ends. 3. Hair elasticity: Hair with low elasticity may be more prone to breakage and split ends. 4. Hair shape: Hair with a certain shape or curl pattern may be more prone to split ends due to the way the hair bends and stresses the hair shaft. However, it's important to note that genetics is not the sole caus
