THW Cult – Day 3

Last night I spent hours looking at natural hair sites and ended up going to bed super late. I haven’t done that in a while. There’s just so much information out there.

I’m glad I decided to try the Terressentials Hair Wash. I think I may have misinterpreted some things. It seems like it’s ok for me to use olive oil during this detox process to moisturize my hair (or is it?). It is organic, so that’s a plus. I haven’t used it yet though. I’ll try to go without anything else for the entire week.

That bun that I tried to have today was a major FAIL! My hair was a mess. It’s impossible to tame the front of my hair without product. I guess that’s where headbands come in handy. I meant to take a pic, but I completely forgot to before I washed it.

Today is day 3 of washing. If nothing else, my hair smells really good and minty. I did two washes today. I’ve been leaving the last wash in for at least 30 minutes before rinsing. My curls look and feel marvelous when my hair is wet. Tonight I did the “Winter Wash & Go” method. In the morning, I plan to put it in the banana clip. My guess is that tomorrow will be a wild hair day also.

I’m mainly concerned about my ends. You know I’m in an endless battle against single strand knots. I feel like I’m finally getting them under control, but I don’t know if all of this washing and leaving my hair wet will set me back a bit. I plan to trim my ends (again) in another week or two though.

We’ll see what tomorrow brings. I’ll be sure to take pics.

XOXO,

THW Cult – Day 2

Last night after my Terressentials Hair Wash, I did the “Winter Wash & Go” method by Naptural85. Today when I took the twists out, my curls weren’t as defined as they’ve been in the past when I tried this method, but my hair was soft. I’m glad I was off today because I didn’t bother with it, I just put my hair up in a ponytail and went to the gym.

Today was day two of the Terressentials Hair Wash. I did the three washes as directed. After the third wash and rinse, my curls were very defined and my hair was soft. I thought to myself “Wow! I can feel the difference.” I left my hair in four big twists to dry under a towel. Bad idea!

I had actually planned to put my hair in a bun for tomorrow. Styling dry hair is a challenge. I should have styled it while it was still wet. I don’t know why I thought I could do things differently. I’m sure my hair got a lot more manipulation than it needed. When my hair dried, it felt dry. That wasn’t the case when I did the “Winter Wash & Go” method. In any case, it’s in a bun for tomorrow. My biggest challenge is not using gel or any other product to hold the front down.

I’ve decided that after I wash my hair tomorrow, I’ll either do the “Winter Wash & Go” method or bun it while it’s wet. Someone like me should not be allowed to wash my hair daily. I’m not the most gentle person when it comes to my precious strands. *shrugs*

Here’s a pic of when I took my hair out after the gym. Not bad. Not bad at all.
