Happy Hair

I enjoy learning new things about my hair; its texture, ways to achieve best hair days possible, etc.
So, I just so happened to stumble across this article on curlynikki penned by Karen MacIntosh. It really gave me insight into what methods work for my unique combination of hair.
Today, I cowashed with my v05, and used my "great detangler" leave in, and curling custard. Method is described in the article, it's a great read.

Twist N Curl (TNC) on my friend's hair

My friend asked me to help her to get back to her natural texture. She doesn't relax, but her hair has become heat damaged within the last year. So I showed her some sites like CurlyNikki and BGLH and we did a TNC on her hair. I used KCCC on her hair after she washed and moisturized with her own products.

Refreshed the coils

This morning, I refreshed my finger coils because they were starting to look a litle fuzzy. First, I did a scalp massage with coconut oil and rosemary essential oil. Then, I sprayed with my water mix (same as previous post, just added glycerin this time), moisturized with shea butter, put a little more KCCC on it, and sealed with the coconut/rosemary oil combo. I also put the clips on for a while and blow dryed on low heat to dry them up before class.
Look out for a pic of the results. when I choose to unravel them, the curls will be AMAZING! I almost wanted to do it today, but I had to stick to my commitment for wearing this portective style all week.
P.S. My FOUR MONTH MARK is Friday, February 25th. Yippee

Materials for finger coils

So, I decided to wear finger coils for a few days to sort of get the feel of what I'd look like if I took the plunge to loc my hair.
I used my rat tail comb for the parts, water mix (ingredients in a previous post) to dampen, my conair brush to detangle, the SMDTM (Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque) to moisturize, KCCC to seal, annie double pring clips to secure, and proceeded to twist. Pic with final results next.
