Hey Ladies Happy Monday!
A few MHM observations to start your week. Hope they help somebody!
1. No leave in. Sure you could do it...i've had excellent results using GEL ONLY. BUT I paid for it after doing it 3 times with a dry flaky scalp and mild breakage. I'm clear on the need and purpose of a leave in for MY hair now.
2. No clay. Just because I don't have clay doesn't mean I stop the MHM process! ayurvedic powders like Amla, Brhami, Mehandi also provide clay like results ie curl elongation and definition...not as well as rhassoul or bentonite but it gets the job done in a pinch.
3. Protein sensitive ladies: no need to add stuff to your clay...distilled water is probably your best bet and yields the best results.
I'll be GHEing alot this week...I never get tired of winter, but I am worn out. My hair can't take much more of this cold, wind , snow, slush, sleet, snain, yuck!
