I took a short break from my hair care regimen this holiday season, just to enjoy life and not deal with the constant hair management. It felt good. But the holidays are now over, I'm back on airplanes, and its time to get serious again.
Brief update - I resisted the temptation to either cut or relax my hair! I cannot believe I made it the entire month of December without relaxing. I would like to say it feels good... But it doesn't. It feels okay and a lot better than what it used to feel like around this time. Additionally I must add, since the layers are long gone and I feel like my hair has been style-less, I've found the a wrap is becoming my weapon of choice again. It's easy to maintain, doesn't require me to use any heat, and it looks great layer-less. Over the break, I didn't co-wash at all. Actually, I only shampooed once. In the between time, I just moisturized and sealed. Over time, my hair got softer and looked better even though I hadn't done anything at all to it. I did use heat and blow dry and I found that it made my hair incredibly more manageable.
I did plan on relaxing my hair this past weekend, so midweek I did a protein treatment. I couldn't find the small bottle or sample packs of the Aphogee protein (plus I ran out of eggs because I was at home cooking!) so I ended up paying the $20 bucks to get the big bottle of protein. On the brightside, it was buy one, get two free, so I also got a bottle of holding spray/shine and the balancing moisturizer. I also bought a small bottle of ORS Olive Oil moisturizer and a small bottle of Shea Butter Oil - I'm growing tired of the curl activator...
This week I plan to get back on track, 2 co-washes and a Friday shampoo. And no relaxer!
