Hair Update: Twist takedown, new products
Helloooo...Remember how I was so proud of myself? How I thought my yarn twists would beat my protective style record and make it to 4 weeks? Remember?
It didn't happen. I put up the post and two days later I reached breaking point. I had just finished a long weekend call (friday to monday) in the hospital and I couldn't stand the load on my head. I came down with this pounding headache that made my eyes water.
The hair had to go go go. That's how I spent monday evening/night- unravelling yarn twists exactly three weeks old. I had a warm shower as soon as I was done and the headache? poof. Gone.
I washed the twists 2 weeks in (it was so HEAVY I could barely hold my head up straight) so I didn't have to wash my hair after takedown.
I just sprayed my hair with water and sealed with oil, didn't detangle (I was too tired to start) and put in two big plaits for a braidout. Satin scarf. Bed.
The next morning I was happy to see this:
It was Tuesday, major surgery day, and I wanted my hair easy to put in a scrub cap so I pinned it into an up do:
I did the same for Wednesday and Thursday, then Thursday night was wash day (wash night?)- wash day post coming soon.
On the product front, I've been working on using up the non-natural products I already have so I can get new all-natural ones, but I gave up waiting and bought these babies on Friday:
The Shea Moisture Raw Shea Restorative Conditioner can be used as a rinse-out and a leave-in. The Head to Toe Baby Wash washes everything. Told you I like multitasking prods :D
There'll be reviews in good time.
What have you been up to lately? Any new purchases? Styles?
Xx,

Uhhhh Nice...

DeleteYour hair looks great. I'm looking forward to your take on the Restorative Conditioner. I got the Shea Moisture Transitioning kit and I like some products but not all of them. I want to try this conditioner again.

Because of you, I wanted to get yarn twists oh. I thought they looked really light, so they aren't :( which is lighter esp when you wash (kinky twists or yarn twists?) Looking forward to your SheaMoisture reviews. I tried one of their masques this week and I am SO impressed. The Mousse I used to style (also SheaMoisture) is also putting me in it's corner. And them ingredients are pretty perfect! I may just join you on your organic journey. Or not. Lol
