What did you do to your hair? How come it became so beautiful? What products are you using for you hair? Is your hair kinky hair, really? Those questions are ones of the many I get when people see my hair.
Yes, I found MY FORMULA for my hair. In other worlds, I found my balance. The balance about my hair, that led to the balance between haircare and everyday life things to do.
I was going through my natural hair journey like every other natural hair sister out there when I noticed a big change to my kinky hair. I was like, what happened here. Since when my naturally dry and difficult to manage hair became so beautiful to look and so easy to use? Since when my wash day do not take all day and so easy? Understandable right, our kinky hair is difficult to deal with that is a fact and it really takes too much time for taking care of it, that is a fact too, so when you see yourself going through wash day like a normal day, with washing your hair just one of the things you have to do that day and not the only thing you have to do, you will get shocked. And that was my reaction too, after the shock, I sat down and wrote what I did for a change.
I noticed that I put my hair on a regimen without even noticing, that I was balancing my hair without even noticing and that I was using styling products every time I finish a wash before doing whatever style I feel like doing.
Let us breakdown these points:
– I put my hair in a regimen for a month that I repeat every month, let us say for example I break it down in 4 weeks of the month, I write how I wash my hair the 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week and 4th week, then I repeat the same thing for every month.
– I started to balance my hair by using moisturizing products and strengthening products alternatively, let us say I use a moisturizing deep conditioner this week, the next week I will be using a strengthening deep conditioner.
– For the shampoo I will use a deep clarifying shampoo the 1st week of the month and the other 3 weeks I will use a moisturizing shampoo.
– I used for every wash a detangling product to help detangling my forever tangled hair after thoroughly wetting the hair first before using a shampoo.
– I was just using 20 min for the deep conditioners for every wash.
– After thoroughly washing off the deep conditioner, I use my styling products and that was a leaving conditioner and or a gel. I cannot recommend the use of gels enough, I think that really helped my hair a lot, it helped training my hair to be well defined and have a good shape.
To resume it all, you need to find YOUR FORMULA, the regimen haircare that will balance your moisture and protein treatment and stick to it, before long you will find yourself enjoying wash days and enjoying letting your hair out because it became the best it can be, before long taking care of kinky hair is just one of the things you need to do in your life like taking care of your body and skin, just one of your many beauty care that are enjoyable to us women and not a haircare that you are getting tired of or a kind of hair that you just interact with on a wash day that comes once in a moon.
