Keep It Straight

I'm one month post relaxer. The little growths are beginning to impede my finger combing!! I've been using hair trigger as part of my Hair Sauna Treatment and it seems to be working out fine. My poor pillow cases can only take it a couple of days in a row so I usually bag my hair on Thursday and Friday nights. Then try and wash on Saturday or Sunday. How I do it: (I was using the comb from my hair applicator thingie but it cracked *sob* ) 1. Section the hair into four. It's a lot easier to apply that way and I feel like I'm really covering my scalp. 2. Pour a little of the hair trigger onto my palm and work onto my fingers 3. Gently massage my scalp with my trigger covered fingers. Work the extra oil on my palm through the strands. 4. Apply Neutrogena triple moisture leave in to my ends 5. Wrap and seal and go to bed. So far so good. I like the way it makes my hair feel. It's so much softer.  A lot of hair grow mavens have spoken about th...

Week two of Hair Sauna Treatment I think my hair is reaching a nice moisture level!! YEAH!! I've only had to moisture and seal every other day this week. I did the GHE Thursday, Friday and Saturday and left the bag on for aaaages. I didn't sweat as much this week. Probably a function of the lower temperatures here. I like the regression effect it's having on my relaxed hair. It's giving me waves which I think are kinda cute. On the Con side, It makes my ends look fuzzy and I'm not sure if they're splitting and thus dry or just fuzzy from all the moisture. I used the Neutrogena Triple Moisture (It's going really fast, I have to figure out an efficient way of using it coz at $8 a pop I can't be buying a bottle every month) and put the olive oil on my edges the first night. Then I bought Castor oil and used that on my edges the rest of the time. Funny Story: I went to CVS and asked for Castor Oil. The guy had no idea what I was talking about. So I ...

I've tried GHE with Neutrogena leave-in moisturizer, seal with Hollywood beauty olive oil on tuesday and GHE with just the oil yesterday. I also didn't keep the shower cap on the entire night because it just felt so weird. I know the point of GHE is to use 'natural' products but I think my hair feels less dry doing it the first way. There was definitely more moisture on the shower cap on Wed morning than this morning. I had to moisturize and seal this morning because it dried up so fast. :( So back to the original method. Though....does it become bagging now? Maybe I should just called it the Hair Sauna Treatment. There. I've created a new method interwebs...have at it.
