Wash Day Diary: Sept 5th 2014: Discovery Black Tea and SheaMoisture Intensive Hydration

Black Tea Rinse and SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration

After my wash day, 5 days ago with Curls products, my hair has felt extra dry, despite the fact that I used the new SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration. The funny thing is that Lil Sis and I did exactly the same steps, and used the same products. Her hair still feels soft and fluffy, while mine had a dry feeling. Another thing I noticed was that I had a ton of straggling ends, which is something I had not experience in a long time.

Because of this reason, I had to co-wash today with my beloved Eden Bodyworks Cleansing Co-wash. After washing, I decided to try my Black Tea rinse with the SheaMoisture Intensive Hydration Hair Masque. Oh-la-la... my hair felt so soft
Then....
....
...
I did something.   After I moisturized with my oil mix and SheaMoisture Curl and Style Milk, I wanted to see what it would look like wrapping my hair with the Jane Carter Wrap and Roll. As soon as I put this in my hair, the softness vanished and my hair felt kind of hard. I then wrapped my hair like this:



Let's see what it would look like after it dries. For some odd reason, I feel I might have to re-cowash again if the Jane Carter makes my hair hard. LOL!

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. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
