Wash Day Diary : Fall Started | October 6th 2014

Natural Hair Growth


Since fall is here, I am protective styling more. Now, my version of protective styling is more like, one week protective style, one day free, wash and protect.  I find that I am unable to go full time protective styling without washing my hair thoroughly. Therefore, that is just what I did today. Day 10 of wearing my hair in cornrows, and I had decided to wash my hair in twists, after detangling, using Elasta QP Crème Conditioning Shampoo (sulfate free). After that, I did a light protein treatment with Aubrey Organics GPB Conditioner. I left this for 2 minutes, as instructed on the bottle. Next, I did my usual Black Tea rinse, and applied SheaMoisture Intense Hydration Deep Conditioner on top.   Since it is fall, I now always use heat when doing my deep conditioning session. I sat under the hooded dryer for 30 mins, rinse, and sealed with cold Aloe Vera Juice.

Post Wash

-          Applied my oil mix to my scalp; my scalp was suprising in great condition. I attribute it to my newest oil, Moringa Oil. I found that my hair had a silkier feeling since using this product, almost as if I used silicones in my hair. I wonder if this will be a great heat protectant (Note to self: do more researching on this)

-          Next,  I applied SheaMoisture Curl and Style Milk as my leave in

-          Then to complete the LCO method, I used my oil mix on my hair

-          Since I was putting my hair back in twists, I applied Eden Bodyworks Curl Defining Crème as my styler, twist my hair.

-          To keep my ends from being dry, I sealed my ends with Castor Oil.

What changes are you making to your wash day routine this fall?

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discove...

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.
