New Detangling Method

So, I have implemented a new detangling method. I no longer use MopTop Maven's dry/damp detangling method. I have now implemented this new method and I have had much success. And it is oh-so-simple!!

I finger detangle.

Yep. That's it. I simply run my fingers down my strands of hair. I then gather the shed hairs that come out initially. While running my fingers down the strands of my hair I look out for any extremely tangled strands. I then grab those strands and then, detangle those.

Once I complete my finger detangling, I then individually braid my hair in large braids and prepare for wash. I now wash my hair with the braids still in.

My thoughts: I love this method! I have cut down on my detangling sessions. I have been experiencing less shed hair. It's so much simpler. And it makes my washing sessions go by so much faster.

I started using this method because even though the damp/dry method was faster than wet detangling, it was still time consuming. I would find myself dreading detangling/wash day. But, life is so much simpler now ;-)

I will be posting a video in the future using this method...

Wash N' Gos

So, I mentioned earlier that I have been a bit bored with my hair lately. Therefore, I decided to try something new that I have never tackled. A Wash N' Go!!

My sister, Auset, is the queen of WNGs so, I asked for her advice on how to achieve one successfully. She was kind enough to do an entire post on it, which can be checked out {HERE}.

I am so excited to try out this new hairstyle! The only thing I am worried about is the middle section in the crown of my head. That curl pattern is so different from the rest of my hair. It's usually easy to blend it when wearing braid outs or twist outs. But, I don't know how those wavy curls are going to look with my WNG. Also, I hope that I don't experience a large amount of tangles. But, I am still excited nonetheless.

I will post the results later on...

Oil Rinse

So, this past Saturday my sister, Auset, suggested I do an oil rinse on my hair. I have read up on oil rinses on other blogs but, I never really tried one. Check out my sister's post on oil rinses HERE. Or check out Moptop Maven's post on oil rinses HERE.

Here's what I did:
1. I co-washed my hair with Suave Naturals in Coconut.
2. My sister then applied her 50:50 oil, which consists of olive oil and castor oil.
3. I kept the oil in my hair for about 2-3 minutes.
4. I then rinsed the oil out with warm water.
5. Of course, there was still some oil left on the hair after the rinse but, I didn't mind.
6. I then applied my Suave Naturals in Coconut conditioner to my head.
7. I then started the detangling process.
8. After deep conditioning, I styled my hair as usual.

I do adore oil rinses and here's why:
1. My hair felt so soft.
2. By applying the oil to the wet hair, I believe this helps to lock in more moisture.
3. The detangling process went by so much faster.
4. I had a decrease in the amount of shed hair.

I can't think of any cons of this process. I just need to invest in some castor oil (because I used my sister's). I do believe I will add this to my hair regimen.
