Update and Miscalculation

Ignore the tired look... That's just me : )

Recap of last night:

• Pre-poo with Coconut Oil and EVOO (2-3 hours)
• Scalp massage (30 mins)
• Roux Shampoo (2 washes)
• Roux Conditioner (2 mins)
• Special Conditioner Mix with 1 egg for protein
• Rinse and detangled in the shower
• Air dry with scarf method

When I rinsed in the shower, my hair didn't feel super soft as I anticipated.  It felt and feels thicker, like my hair is coated or protected.  I'm not sure if I really like that or not.  Maybe that's what strong hair feels like?  Or maybe I just have to clarify again... I fell asleep last night mid-air dry.   I woke up this morning to a mess on my head.  My hair was dry, tangled, and tough.  Maybe it is time that I invest in a hooded blow dryer.  I need some penetration in my hair.  And no, the heat cap thingy that I bought does NOT do the trick.  Oh, I've also been looking into steam dryers... not sure what would be the best solution yet.

I spent my morning, oiling with JBCO and then moisturizing and sealing my hair.  I now have 2 buns in my head and my hair is a LOT softer and moisturized.  I do need to provide a correction to last night's analysis.  I said that my hair hadn't grown as much as it should have these past 8 weeks - huge miscalculation.  I have some seriously defined curls near the front of my head and around the sides - totally not normal!  I was geeked to see all the growth in my hair.  And after doing a quick ruler check - yes, my hair did hit the 1 inch of new growth target.  And almost ALL over my head.  I'm still not ready to relax... I'm wondering if that has something to do with my shedding lately, but I'm not that concerned about it yet.  Depending on how my hair feels for the remainder of the day, I might do another Roux wash and just let it air dry.  We shall see...
