Last night took me almost four hours to get my hair done. I pre-pooed, deep conditioned and did flat twists. even made a leave-in conditioner for my daughter and I. I haven't seen the full results yet because my hair is still twisted. I sprayed my hair to make sure I had moisture today. I am learning that I need to start planning when I will do all of this to my hair to make sure I am doing all that I need to do. It is another job caring for my hair properly but I know that it will be worth it.
I used this recipe that I got in part from CurlyNikki.com
1 Tbsp honey (I used raw honey)
1 Tbsp castor oil
I added 1/2 Tbsp organic cinnamon
I warmed this mixture up and stirred well and added it into my head little by little until I got all of my scalp good and then poured the rest in and covered with a plastic cap for 15-20 minutes before rinsing.
I haven't had much of a routine but I tried to start one last week. This week I sprayed the leave-in conditioner I mixed up and washing and conditioning my hair. I got this from YouTube but it is a combination of several recipes.
The leave-in consists of:
1 Tbsp Honey melted slightly
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Coconut oil melted
1 Tbsp of shea butter (I need to get the liquid version)
1 can of coconut milk
5 drops of rosemary essential oil
5 drops of vitamin E
1 cup of spring water
1/2 cup aloe juice and gel
I blended it all using a hand blender and put it into spray bottles. I keep the mix in the refrigerator. When using I shake well then spray.
After spraying my hair I used my mix of castor oil, shea butter, coconut oil, and vitamin E to oil my hair and protect my ends. I then used WonderCurl's Get Slick Hair Smoothie and Butter Than Love Hair Pudding and flat twisted my hair. So far my hair seems to like the mixture. I will know what it looks like in the morning when I take the twists out.
I need to purchase some satin hair rollers. I forgot I had them when I was rolling my ends. They will keep my hair better protected. I need to make sure I have enough for me and the little Diva.
