My thinning hair continues to shed and break and despite working through the tangles, letting it airdry and then blowdrying (on low) and flat ironing (to make my hair presentable, it looks like a mess!!!!!!
I will therefore do a co-wash in a few days and an apple-vinegar rinse, with hope that my hair will respond positively.
I have begun searching for Vitale relaxer, which was used on my head in DA in January. I can get it from Sally's and will go there soon. I plan to relax the weekend of the 18th, hopefully.
*sigh*

DISASTER!!!
Yes, the title says it all. I had a major setback today.
After almost 3 weeks of great hair, my last wash ended in tears.
As usual, I used my tea tree oil shampoo from nature's Gate and followed up with my Aphogee protein conditioner for about 5 minutes. I then put Silk Element olive oil con in my hair for about 10 minutes and rinsed.
The result was a TANGLED MESS!!!!
I have no idea why, and every attempt to untangle left me with so much hair lost. I had a humongous ball of broken and shed hair, in addition to what I must have lost in the shower.
I am not sure what went wrong but I am left with brittle, thin, lifeless hair and it ain't pretty.
The only possible explanation is that my hair needed another Apple vinegar rinse as was the case after my last wash, which left my hair feeling and looking GLORIOUS!
This is my second set back this year - I already lost so much hair in the back and left qquadrant of my hair. I think that was due to a combination of 2 factors. 1) running without washing my hair more than once a week left hair brittle and crunchy - thus, prone to breakage. 2) wearing my hair down while driving allowed hair to get caught and broken by the seat belt IMO.
Anyway, off to dust off my wig. I will clearly need it!
Oh, and I cannot get a relaxer next week, not with this set back. I must get my hair healthy before I apply any chemicals in it.

HORRIBLE RELAXER RESULTS
I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY TOUCH UP RESULTS!!!
The back of my head did not texlax, talk less of relax. I am experiencing breakage and after spending $65 plus $10 in tips, I am far from pleased. I am going to call the salon today and ask for a refund or at least half off on my next relaxer. Will see how that goes.

THE DAY AFTER HENNA...
My hair feels dry and brittle. I have added Grapeseed oil and still no change. I will not put heat in my hair, but will wash and condition first thing on Sunday and try to put some moisture in my hair. I think the problem is that I have a protein overload, what with the Shikamlaritha/ORS Mayo combo earlier in the week and now the Henna experience.
I see a little color was deposited on my hair from the henna. My grey hair has a little red to it but very slight. Probably after a few more application, I will achieve the color I am looking for.
