It's the journey that matters not the destination!! Well I can happily say that my journey has been amazing, full of learning and full of curls.
Many of you have asked me about my routine and here it is:
- I wash my hair every week with a sulfate shampoo, this day is the only day that I detangle and allow my fingers to go throughout my hair, after shampoo I detangle my hair with a generic conditioner like Coconut Suave, Pantene or Tresseme moisture conditioner, right after I rinse out the conditioner and my hair is knots free I apply a deep treatment and go under: (a) the hair steamer (b)hair dryer or (c) a conditioner cap. Right after 30 minutes or so I rinse out the DC, the I seal in the moisture in my hair with my oil mix and apply a curl defining cream (I don't use gel). you can find some of my favorite products here.
- I moisture every day with a light leave-in or moisture cream
- I massage my scalp at night with a light/moisture oil mix
- I do not touch or do any style on dry hair, if I want to do a bun, puff, side updo, ect. I spray my hair with a spray water bottle (water, oil and leave-in mix)
- I do not tight my hair too tight or use accessories or rubber bands that may pull my hair out
- I love home made conditioner as a pre-poo. I do it at least 2 times a moth.
- Drinking water
- Heathy eating
- Vitamins
- And exercice

DeleteI have been for six years already. however,I have been using the flat iron a loooooot or I go to the salon (dominican salon y ya sabes como pasan el blower!)so my hair is so damaged! my hair is curl on the top (se pone duro cuando se seca) but straight on the bottom. a total mess! I want to stop using heat but its soooo hard! and I do not want to do the BIG chop (scared). what would you recomend me?
ReplyDeleteHi ! Your hair is amazing !!! My hair is similar than yours, i'm 20 months transitionning and sometimes I really want to relax my hair again, because i'm fed up with it. You're such an inspiration for me =)
