Feel free to call me Pinocchio
from now on...after my elaborate post earlier where I said I wanted a break from my hair regimen, yours truly, Smiley79 went home and did what? Yup. Her hair....
And I loved it ofcourse....lol. It's like my therapy.
Tonight I tried something new, after abandoning ACV the past few weeks, I randomly decided to use it. WOW. That's all I can say. Maybe using the baking soda the past few weeks opened up my hair to receive the ACV in a better way than the in the beginning of me starting the MHM. Whatever it is, I really like how it left my hair feeling. I decided to stop the baking soda for now because I haven't been using gel or much of any products. So I thought to myself, why continue to use such an agressive build-up remover? The ACV did the trick. I sprayed it to my hair, went under the dryer for 5 minutes, rinsed it out, deep conditoned with the Naturelle Growth deep conditoner (shout out to
faithVA for that recommendation), sat under the dryer for 15 minutes, rinsed it out and now I'm sitting here letting my hair air dry 50-75% before I apply my leave in and twist up my hair. I think I will use the baking once soda every 2 weeks and then eventually once a month.
Another funny thought, I've been so mad lately, each time I want to take a picture my hands are filthy or soaking wet or my counter area is just not suitable for electronics
...so I say to myself "Next Time"...smh
And final update, I cannot believe how much my hair is LOVING the use of warm-little less than hot water. I mean love. It comes to show, you really have to try things for yourself. All these years, warm/hot water was a taboo word for natural hair....not anymore! my hair loves it.
