5 minute hair Regimen

/Hi
I want to talk about curl definition. Namely my curl definition. In the beginning of my natural hair journey getting curl definition was not high on my list of things. I would just twist my hair and loose it out the next day and then "booyah" curl definition. However days would happen like the one in the picture below and I would have to take and afro pick to my hair.

My hair 3-4 months ago

I have noticed though that over time my hair has more curl definition and seems to instantly form coils and mini curls on my head :D.

Please ignore the thread

Look I have sprigs

I have noticed that my curls are becoming more pronounced and defined since I started co -washing only with occasional clay treatments. Also these pics posted show what my hair looks like in the evening around 7 pm. The only problem I have is getting all the conditioner out in the mornings.

:-o Did I mention that I use conditioner every morning (unless I have in a fabulous hairstyle of course)? No??!! Well, now you know. Here is what I use every morning:

Alikay Naturals Caribbean Coconut Conditioner- Lots of thick coco nutty goodness (yes I said it :p)

Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave In

That's it. Those are the products I use every morning. I wet my hair in the shower and put on the Caribbean Coconut and finger de-tangle. I leave it on while and shower before I come out I rinse it out thoroughly and while my hair is still wet I add in the Knot today and let dry. More often than not though all of the product does not dry in or my hair may be too wet so I normally wrap my hair in a t-shirt until I am ready to go out the door. I give it a little pat before I take it off and style as I see fit before I leave.

This is one of my easiest ways to style my hair. Sometimes I may even twist my hair from the night before and after I have done my co-wash and leave in application I will take out the twist and have a curly and cutre twist out.

What about you, do you have a quick and simple hair regimen?

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.

Kinky Curly- Curling Custard

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.
