SOFT, LOVELY LOCKS @ 15 WKS POST!!!!

WOO HOO!!!!!

So, I just finished airdrying my hair and thank you Lord, God! My hair is lovely!!! My NG is soft!!! No split ends in sight And, my hair smells great!!!

I followed the normal routine - prepoo with Mahabhingraj, rinse with shikamlaritha, cowash with NTM, 2-5 minute DC with MT and overnight DC with DPR-11/mahabhingraj/coconut/castor/olive oils.

The next day, I rinsed and then clarified with ACV rinse. My hair felt soft, yet strong.

After washing, I experienced some shedding however. I think I have to start using my garlic powder and adding it to the DPR-11 mix to prevent shedding.

Anyway, my hair feels nice and that new oil mix leaves my hair silky straight, shiny but not greasy or weighed down, thankfully. I will add some lavender to it.

SECOND ROLLER SET & PIN CURL

I did it again and I loved the results! I clarified with Suave Coconut Shampoo and then conditioned with SH. I DCd with ORS Con for a few minutes, rinsed and finger combed. I then squeezed out the excess water and applied Mango Butter from Elasta QP. It smelled so good, I had to keep reminding myself that it was not edible. lol!

After the Mango Butter, I sprayed Spiked SCurl, sealed Castor Oil and Amla oil (which I focused on my ends). I then combed out my hair and put the rollers in.
My hair air dryed for about 3 hours and when I removed the rollers, it looked like this
-The red hue from the henna treatment is pretty visible under the light. My hair felt so soft! I don't think my hair ever felt this good while looking this good without the use of heat. There was a lot of sheen, yet not much residue when I ran my fingers through my hair.
I went to the gym for a workout later that night and when I returned, my curls had fallen a little so i did a pin curl.
Then, I wrapped my hair with a scarf, had a shower and went to bed. Here is what it looked like in the morning -


Not bad! I know that I will be using my rollers more often. I love the look of my full, thick and bouncy hair especially if i can achieve all that without the use of heat. I am not that good at getting the rollers taut but once I achieve that, the curls will look even better. USing rollers, I just might be able to stretch until July. I hope so anyway, because although I have no desire t get a perm, I do wish my roots didn't show as much because they are junky! And did i say that my hair was soft! My NG included. It is amazing what I have learned about my hair since becoming hair-conscious. Thank God for BHM, hair bloggers and everyone else!
