Do You Get Your Best Hair on Wash Day?

Chunky Twistout with Perm Rods on Natural Hair


Why is it that on your wash day, that is when your hair looks the best? Like well marinated chicken!!
Actually, tomorrow is wash day, but I decided to do it today because I need to do Big Sis's hair tomorrow. Lately, I have been washing the girls' hair every 2 weeks. However, if during that time, I need to cleanse their hair, I will co-wash.

I went to hang out with some friends today, and of course... as usual, I got great compliments on my hair. When I told my friends that I was going home to wash it, OMG! They tried talk me out of it. LOL! You know me, I need NEED NEED to wash my hair weekly. I tried the 2 -weeks wash day and my scalp was like, No Bueno!

Now that I have washed my hair with Naturalicious Rhassoul Clay 5-in-1 treatment, my scalp feels great and my hair is so soft and conditioned. I love this product!! After doing my LOCO method to moisturize my hair,  I decided to band my hair.


A couple of things that I have noticed about my hair lately:
  • When I use the clay to wash my hair, loose, my hair does not shrink up as much as it does when I just do my normal cowash or use my Bentonite clay treatment
  • I can now get away with doing 10 chunky twists and have a decent twist out
  • Perm rods are friends to my twists!! They give me a curly bouncy look
  • I do not need to put oil on my scalp every day.
What are some new things you are discovering about your natural hair?

    I have noticed that I loooooove perm rods, too! I tried them on my braids a few days ago (pics on Facebook) and I loved the results. Next time, very soon, I will try twists and more perm rods this time. I never did oil my scalp every day; just every other day when my scalp is damp, for the KCCM castor oil challenge. ;)

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.

How to know your hair porosity

Image
Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. 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:...
