Speaking of hair...

Since my natural hair is out full time now I've been focused on developing a consistent regimen all the while trying not to become a product junkie. Here lately I've been using Shea Moisture's Moisture Retention Shampoo and Conditioner weekly/bi weekly (depends on my schedule if I can wash weekly or every 2 weeks). I've done a couple co-washes with HE's Hello Hydration, just to refresh my hair with moisture so I can re-twist, etc. My hair craves moisture but a natural friend of mine said she heard from one of the natural hair vloggers that once you're out of the TWA stage you shouldn't co-wash. I need to research that one. Last month I purchased Anita Grant's banana rhassoul condish cubes. I think I want to contiune with these cubes as a montly DC. I was rushing when I used it because I had to go to a wedding so I'll do a full review later this month. I still love raw shea butter and moisturize my hair with it. I recently ordered more Shi Naturals Creamy Leave-in (love the original formula) but this time opted for the Najama Heavy Cream formula to see if it would help more. It's so light and creamy and my hair just drinks it right up! I'm going to add a monthly clarifying shampoo session to my regimen with Avalon Organics Lemon Clarifying Shampoo. I tried it last week and like it. My scalp and hair felt clean and soft. I love scalp massages and want to train myself to incorporate these more. I use grapeseed oil as my base and add in a few drops of peppermint oil and a drop or 2 of lavendar oil and it makes a great massage oil. During the week I use a refreshing spritz mix of distilled water and jojoba oil.

My plan is to write down each step and post it on my bathroom mirror until I have it totally down pact. I would love to discover the perfect products for my hair. Nothing against Shea Moisture though. It is very affordable and easily accessible since I live close to Target. It gets the job done, plus it uses shea butter and I love shea butter.
