First of all let me say, Welcome!
I'm not a guru of hair nor am I trying to become one, but I'm making this blog for accountability. That being said I can take all comments about hair and products, and that's because I'm a product junkie. What can I say? I'm fresh starting out on this walk.
So, let me give you a bit of background. I have been relaxing since I was 6 or 7 years old and I practically begged my Mom to get a PCJ (Pressing Comb in a Jar). I never appreciated kinky curls until later in life when I started to learn hair and the different styles.
I loved to change up my tresses mostly to fit iin or be on the popular kids list of friends. No, I was by far one of those popular kids. However I was cool with almost everyone I met.
I met a group of girls with what people call "good hair", let's face it we all have met those groups of girls and they often questioned me about my hair and what types of care I did on the daily. I envied them, they had hair they didn't have to do anything to but wash and go, oh and the occassional flat iron. I had to work my hair.
I never had a hair regimine or schedule my Mom took care of that for me. Until I had gotten a job, all I knew was wash and set every other week and relaxers on scheduled times as well as cuts. (Not trims) One stylist even cut, no shaved my sideburns off and now they grow crazy which results in daily care.
But I digress, I'm no hair guru like, ulovemegz or buildablebeauty or Ebonycprincess. I love hearing about their hair journey. So it inspired me to take a stance on caring and learning about hair and how to properly care for it.
No one had ever taken the time out to tell me, you have to do x-y-z before a-b-c happens to your hair. Well I'm taking responsibilty and accountability for my hair-ducation and embarking in new very unknown territory. To start off I got a sew-in as my no manipulation style. Ok ok ok, I know what you are saying, why did you start with such a hard style. Well I've done them before but not with this new knowledge I've gained watching the hair goddesses mentioned.
I did deep condition at least before I got it braided. Now what I didn't know was my kanekalon allergy. I looked to my facebook for answers there was none for a while. Then all of a sudden, POW! There was "naturally curly" I think that's her page name, she spoke on "the ingredient of the day" which was apple cide vinegar.
Goes to show you what this college grad really knew, I knew nothing about this magical mixture, so the itchies came come the sewn-in braids and it was wash day. I got an applicator bottle and did a 50/50 mix of water and apple cider vinegar. And an couple of days past the itches subsided just a bit. I still get itchies but now I'm dealing with unruly tangles.
Guess what product I'm using for that, the "tangle teaser". Its actually working I'm un tangleing as I post. I'm taking a breaks to blog. But it actually works, it takes some time but its worth it. I think this. Might work for those who do u-part wigs that are sewn on, or any wig for that matter.
Well I have to end this blog post with Thank you for reading...I guess I should do a product review soon.
Nah, I'll just post what happens with pictures...
