My hair feels soooooo much better without coconut oil! I also noticed that there’s a lot less hair shed. I’ve been using straight JBCO. I forgot I had that until someone mentioned it. I had to resurrect mine. JBCO is much heavier than my usual olive oil, but my hair needed it after the coconut oil week.

I can’t say that all things are equal though because I didn’t blowdry my hair this past week as I did the week I used coconut oil, so maybe that helped also.

I also changed gels. I used Fantasia IC gel instead of Eco Styler gel and I haven’t had any breakouts along my hairline so I’m happy about that.

My style hasn’t changed. I’m still wearing my textured bun. It’s been too hot and humid for anything else. I guess I won’t be straightening my hair anytime soon either.

XOXO,

I’ll give you big hair!

This weekend I attempted Bantu Knots (again). I washed my hair on Friday night and twisted and Bantu Knotted 8 sections. Four in the back and four on top.

Bantu Knots are a weird thing for me because I’m not really sure how I expect it to come out. Maybe it’s better that way because it saves me the disappointment.

The plan was that if it came out looking crazy, I would straighten it… until I saw the forecast for the week.

I want no parts of that rain business. I’ll be bunning all week.

When I untwisted my hair, it looked a little crazy, but… IT WAS THE WEEKEND! If you can’t be free on the weekend, then when can you be free? So… I just went with it!

XOXO,
