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 is the difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil and regular Castor oil?

Image
The main difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) and regular castor oil lies in their processing methods, color, composition, and potential benefits for hair and skin. Here’s a breakdown: 1. Processing Method  • Jamaican Black Castor Oil: Made by roasting castor beans, which are then crushed and boiled to extract the oil. The ash from the roasting process gives JBCO its dark color and slightly smoky scent.  • Regular Castor Oil: Typically cold-pressed or processed without roasting the beans, resulting in a pale yellow or clear oil with no ash content. 2. Color and Consistency  • JBCO: Dark brown to black in color, thicker in consistency due to the ash content.  • Regular Castor Oil: Light yellow or clear with a thinner consistency. 3. pH Levels  • JBCO: Has a slightly higher pH due to the ash, making it more alkaline. This can help open up the hair cuticle and promote moisture absorption in some cases.  • Regular Castor Oil: More neutral in pH, ...

What to do when balding is hereditary?

Image
 Hereditary balding, also known as androgenetic alopecia, can be managed but not entirely reversed. Here are some steps to slow its progression and improve the appearance of your hair: 1. Understand the Condition  • Hereditary balding occurs due to genetics and sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which shrinks hair follicles over time.  • It often begins at the hairline, crown, or both in men, and as overall thinning in women. 2. Use FDA-Approved Treatments Minoxidil (Rogaine)  • Available as a topical solution or foam.  • Encourages hair growth and slows hair loss.  • Must be used consistently; effects diminish if you stop. Finasteride (Propecia)  • A prescription oral medication for men.  • Blocks DHT production to prevent further hair loss.  • May have side effects, so consult your doctor before use. Spironolactone  • Often prescribed for women with androgenetic alopecia.  • Blocks androgen hormones to reduce hair loss. 3. ...
