Two weekends ago: I tried the Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse. It came out amazing! My hair felt super clean without feeling striped. I was wondering up until this point how I could avoid shampoo. It’s a lot easier than I thought. I’m going to give the Baking Soda wash a try using conditioner. If that works out, I don’t need to shampoo. I followed with a cowash. I tried to do a rod set, but that didn’t work out. The next morning when it was time for me to go to work, it was still wet. So I had to lay my hair flat back and wear a scarf wrapped African style. Not happy that the style didn’t work out—but my hair did get to rest.

Last weekend: Herbal Essence Hello Hydration, followed by my homemade Shea butter mixture on the scalp and each strain as I did my first two strain twist out- which I loved! I included a picture of the results here and in my FOTKI.

Earlier this week on Wednesday: Simple cowash with Alberto VO5 Tea Therapy. I did a hybrid style of a twist out and a rod set. No pictures, but it came out gorgeous. I will rock this again, so I’ll do pictures next time.

Today: I plan to deep condition my hair with a mixture of Alberto VO5, honey, and a drop or two of Tea Tree and Rosemary Essential Oil. I’m going to follow up with a cowash using a new product, Renpure Organics’ moisturizing conditioner. It’s heavy on the proteins, so next week I’ll use something heavy on the moisture. I’m going to do that hybrid style again!
