Styling and Damage

So, for the past 7 months I have been UBER lazy when it comes to my hair. I have taken a minimalistic approach to my hair. My routine consisted of:


  • Part hair into small sections
  • Shampoo
  • Style
Notice anything missing? I stopped conditioning and barely deep treated my hair and now I am paying the heavy heavy price.

Lately my hair has been a pain to style, and recently, I have been dealing with TONS of single strand knots, my hair just wraps around itself the moment I twist it, and it is so dry. Also, I had to cut out lots of hair the other day due to knots that just would not go away!

I lost so much hair that I am SURE I lost my bra strap length.Well I have gotten off my lazy behind and decided to nurse my hair back to health. I found an article on Wikihow on dealing with dry scalp. I also want to try tea rinses to see if they work. 


I also have been working on different styles. I am STILL trying to learn how to braid and flat twist ( yes I can only twist) here's what I did to my hair:



I first got inspiration from this picture I found on Pinterest:






But did this style first: 



Random curl at the bottom due to my lack of parting skill.



(Found my first grey hair so I was not a happy camper)


This lasted a week and I wanted to try the style in the pic so I did my lazy routine and begged my friend Ren to do the side twists. I used Eco Styler Oilve Oil Gel and Aloe Vera juice for this style.





I started in the front

And pinned up the sides so I didn't twist those accidentally

Voila!

I pinned the sides together and did a pompadour in the front 


I forgot to take pictures when the style was finished so I quickly snapped two while in the car. LOVE IT! But good GOD my scalp was TEARING OFF!  The darn dry scalp was terrorizing me!!


BUT I will be applying some intensive care to my hair and report back. Until then,


Peace.
