High Bun

Hola!

After my hair fiasco, I’ve been wearing strictly buns. My ends aren’t even ready for the public eye. I wore my hair straight for the last two weeks. Yesterday I washed it and trimmed my ends some more. I’ll be straightening and trimming every two weeks until they’re good again.

I decided to try the Aubrey Organics Glycoprotein Balancing Conditioner. I was going to buy the Honeysuckle Rose, but I didn’t want something THAT heavy and conditioning, although my ends probably need it. The GPB Conditioner is pretty good. I like the way it smells and it made my hair feel pretty good. I didn’t feel bad for using a lot because I got it from The Vitamin Shoppe and didn’t have to order it online and waste money on shipping.

Today’s style was a high bun. I see all of the young girls rocking this style, so I figured I’d try it.

I’m sad to say… coconut oil!

I started using coconut oil in my hair almost two weeks ago. Prior to this, coconut oil has only worked in my hair as a pre-poo.

For the first few days my hair felt good. In fact, my hair feels good when I first put the coconut oil in. I’ve noticed that when I take my bun down in the evening, my hair feels very tangled and dry, like straw. I’ve also noticed that a lot of hair comes out just by me smoothing my ponytail, with no heavy manipulation or anything.

At first I thought it was just that my hair was going through a dry spell, but coconut oil was the only thing I’ve done differently. I’m going to wash my hair this evening and go back to my olive oil and see what happens.

I’ll just stick with coconut oil as a pre-poo. I really like coconut oil too, I was hoping it worked as a daily moisturizer.

XOXO,
