Wash Day Diary: July 30th 2014: SheaMoisture SuperFruit and Black Tea

Gotta love SHRINKAGE


For nearly 2 months now, I have been doing Black Tea rinses weekly in my hair and love the results I have been getting. I decided to use it with the SheaMoisture SuperFruit Complex 10-in-1 Renewal System Hair Masque to test how it works. Since this hair masque will be my new Moisturizing Deep Conditioner, I need it to work well with my Black Tea rinse because I have seen great changes with my hair in terms of shedding and breakage from doing these weekly rinses. The other Moisturizing Deep Conditioner I use is  Eden Bodyworks Deep Conditioner . Which do I like better, right now, the SheaMoisture one is winning.

Wash Process
  • Detangle and prepoo with Trader Joe's Coconut Oil and VO5 Strengthening Conditioner.
  • Co-washing with  Eden Bodyworks Cowash and rinsed off
  • Apply Black Tea Rinse
  • On top of that apply SheaMoisture SuperFruit Complex 10-in-1 Renewal System Hair Masque
  • Leave on for 30 mins
  • Cool water rinse to promote shine and lay down my cuticle
  • Squeeze off as much water with hands, no t-shirt
  • Let water absorb in hair while dressing up. Covered with plastic cap to avoid dripping

Post-wash Process

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.

Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high .

The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
