Soooooo I’ve been toying with the idea of taking hair vitamins for a few months now. I recently discovered that after all of these years of having adult acne, it was my multivitamin that was causing my breakouts.

A few weeks ago, I started taking vitamins again and my face started to break out AGAIN! So I stopped immediately.

I spoke with my friend and she’s tried several hair vitamins as has had ridiculous amounts of growth, so I was intrigued. I tried to resist because I’d rather clear skin over longer hair, but today I found myself walking into GNC. I was going to get the Hair Nourish vitamins that she recommended and that I see a lot of people have success with, but the lady in the store said she found Hair Volume to be better. I was sold.

Let’s corporately pray for my skin because I’m diving IN! I’ll be increasing my water intake significantly and hopefully this will counteract whatever effects the vitamins generally have on my skin since I have no clue exactly what causes the breakouts.

This particular one seemed like a good option because it has less ingredients.

*fingers crossed*

I’ll begin in the morning.

Last weekend was the first time ever that I wore my natural curls all out… no ponytail! I decided to do the faux wash and go method that I got from Naptural85 years ago, which she posted a video recently called No Fuss Quick Summer Beach Curls. I tried it before a while back, but thought it would work much better when my hair was a bit longer.

Basically, I washed my hair. Deep conditioned it. After rinsing out the deep conditioner, I applied olive oil to my hair and then twisted it under running water. I used four sections. I believe Naptural85 uses more sections, but her hair is much thicker than mine.

Once your hair is twisted, you stretch each section across your head and let it air dry. Of course, I did this at night so it could dry overnight.

I was extremely pleased with the results. I’ll definitely be trying this again. The one thing I must say is that my hair did expand a little as the day went by. I attribute it to the fact that there are no styling products added, it’s pretty much your natural curls and olive oil.

Who said I have a problem with big hair though?!

XOXO,
