So it has been pretty much over a month since I graced this bloggersphere, and most importantly (for me anyways) a month since I did the big chop and became au naturel.
I'm not going to lie, once I had chopped of my hair, I instantly thought to myself... 'what the hell have I gone and done'.
But a coupleof hours later I embraced it and looked forward to my journey.
I got all the facts and nutrients I needed to know about from Boo! and immediatly made a basic hair regimen that would be easy for me to follow and keep up with.
So here goes...
- Wash my hair fortnightly with a shampoo which is low in sulphate. (I have stated to use the Tresemme Naturals shampoo)
- Co-wash / deep condition my hair once a week with a moisture based conditioner
- Treat my scalp every other day with Coconut oil (I suffer from severe itchy scalp and dandruff)
- Seal my ends and protect my edges with Castor Oil & Shear butter.
Since cutting my hair into a TWA, I have worn it in a protective chunky braid style for about 3 weeks.
During this, I was consistent with with my regimen, cleansing, conditioning and moisturising,
In the last week, I braved myself to wear my short TWA, out for a whole week to give it a bit of air before I put it back into braids.
So far, I have seen the positive effects of maintaining my hair in its natural form.Its much thicker and healthier, and it has proved my previous notion wrong, that I wouldn't be able to handle it.
Instead, I find joy in feeding and nurishing my hair and am enjoying every moment of it, so much so that I can't keep m hands out of my hair. :D
I now just can't wait for my desired length!
