Wash Day Diary: June 21st 2014: Bentonite Clay

Bentonite Clay on Natural Hair

Last week, I was at camp with Big Sis enjoying the great outdoors, pond water, sunshine all day, chlorine water, and great fellowship! It was a wonderful experience that I will share with you on one of my vlog posts on DNVlogsLife channel. With all the activities we had, I did not totally neglect the care of my hair, however, by the time I got home yesterday, my hair was MAD at me.

Pre Wash Process
  • Overnight, I saturated my hair with Extra Virgin Coconut oil. Covered hair with a plastic cap, satin cap and thick knitted hat.
  • In the morning, I re-misted my hair with water and applied  Eden Bodyworks Cowash and covered my hair with 2 plastic caps, satin cap and baseball cap while I ran some errands.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2.

Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
