Yarn Braid Removal- HairTreatment

/Hihi

Sooooo. If you were following under my hairstyles tab you would know that I once again put in yarn braids. Knowing me I probably will not put them in for another 2 months or so because with the hot sun out my scalp was itching like crazy /no.

I scratched ssssoooo bloody much that I think I scratched my scalp raw.

So at about 5 in the morning I put on my bentonite clay, rinsed that out, followed up with my shea butter treatment from Shea Moisture and got under my huetiful steamer (which I have not used in 3 mths).

Decided to do a facial at the same time...LOL

Wow... I actually have hang time it grew

Look at them coils and kinks

For my clay mix I used apple cider vinegar, olive oil, water and bentonite clay of course, Since I had to get ready for work I did not have time to wait for it to dry before rinsing it out. Did my usual conditioning routine and tried kinky curly knot today. Then I tried the kinky curly curling custard for the first time it was slightly sticky but not as sticky and gooey as curl magic from Uncle Funky's Daughter (but I think that their stickiness is due to the marshmallow) and it dried way quicker and did not have as much residue. I will try writing a review on it late next month after I have used it and gotten to see how it really works with my hair.

KCCC- The product on wet hair

My hair after the product dried

Please ignore my awful flat twist

Never realized that my hair had patches of brown

I liked the results but my coils are very firm and there was still some residue from where the product was not fully absorbed. However I was a bit surprised that my hair actually did come out so good because everyone cautioned me that it would not work for my hair type since I have hair in the 4 range /wahaha (insert evil laugh here).

Hope it turns out just as good tomorrow. Gonna have to do something about that awful flat twist that I attempted to do in the front of my hair.

Freshly washed Hair

So here is my hair looking all nice and freshly washed last week.

So the Bentonite clay really did help to make my curls pop :D. Believe it or not this look was achieved by doing an hot oil treatment (Vatika oil) and a plastic bag on chunky twists. Then in the shower I rinsed out and used WEN on my hair with the twists still in and rinsed out when I was finished with my shower and this was the result and no snags or detangling needed.

/hihi

I know that I have been missing on the scene lately but I will get back to that in another post. Trust me though I have missed my personal blog. I have been gone for so long that I even forgot what I had been doing with my hair lately /no.

So today is about my Bentonite clay hair detox. Yep I said it hair detox. For anyone that does not know I don't care for shampoos and they have never cared for me /nobigdeal... so I see this as a mutual relationship. So on to the process and mix. Well, I didn't use spoons to measure so... long story short I just grabbed crap and made it work.

Step 1: Did an apple cider vinegar rinse with olive oil. Put a plastic bag on my head and went back to sleep.

Step 2: Rinse out and clear out with fingers.

Step 3: Mix Bentonite clay with 2 tsp. of honey, 2 tsp. of an oil of your choice (used vatika) and add water as necessary. Please do not mix in a metal bowl or use a metal spoon.

Step 4: Apply to hair. Personally I tend to work it through slightly with my fingers and leave in for about 30 - 40 min or when it starts to get a bit dried (but not too dry /please).

Look at that bad boy popping in the back

I'm hoping that as my hair grows the front will "learn" to do something besides stick up.

Step 5: Rinse out with warm water until water runs clear and then condition to get out all of the clay bits. To condition I used Alikay Naturals Honey and Sage Deep Conditioner & Caribbean Coconut Milk Conditioner. Yep I figure if they work well separately... why not combine them???

Step 6: Rinse out and look at those curls pop./wahaha

Curls baby curls

Did I mention that I wash my hair in the shower... Now you know

Coming along nicely

I will see if I can find a picture of my hair during my last wash for a comparison. Until next time. /bye
