MY NATURAL HAIR NIGHTMARE


Nightmares are meant to happen at night, right? Well, this one happened during wash day. I have had a similar experience in the past, but this was even worse because my precious products were involved. #ProductJunkie. Click here to watch that bad experience.

My hair had been acting like a diva lately, so I gave her a trim and then clarified her by doing a Rhassoul Clay cleanse. I am in the process of using up my products, and since I only have one more use of the clay, I decided to use it. Rhassoul clay is excellent in clarifying my hair  and defining my curls. Watch this and see how truthful this statement is.


I have NEVER had an issue with this particular brand of Rhassoul clay, but today, I made several HUGE mistakes!!

Okay... when did the nightmare happen?

After I had supposedly cleansed and rinsed my hair free of the Rhassoul clay, I put in my leave in spray and then my curl moisturizing cream and started twisting up my hair. I got to the last quadrant of my hair and noticed my hair was brown!! BROWN!!!. Now, the last quadrant was at the back of my head. ARGH!! I was so upset. Not only would I have to rewash my hair, I have wasted my leave in and also moisturizing cream!

HOW DID I RECTIFY THIS ISSUE
Instead of using a shampoo to cleanse my hair, I just used my favorite cleansing cowash conditioner to clean my hair. This cowash suds up a lot, so I could easily see the color changing from brown to white. I repeated this twice and rinsed.

WHAT SHOULD I HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY
  • Always wash your hair in a WELL LITE AREA
  • Use a shower mirror when possibile
  • Repeat rinsing your hair several times
  • Work in sections when washing your hair
  • Followup with a sudsy cleansing cowash, if in doubt.

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:...
