my hair story: the kinks, the coils and relaxers!
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
my hair is kinky and curly.
it’s hair that has been called: bad, nappy, good, curly, kinky, and a variety of things in between.
i simply call it my hair.
my hair is also colored. i had it colored at an aveda concept salon in feb 09. the colors are copper, blonde and chocolate brown; the chocolate is in the back, while the front is more copper with blonde highlights.
my regimen is very simple {i’m a keep it simple (and fast!) kinda gal}:
- co-wash once a week; sometimes twice a week, or even sometimes every other week – depending on workout schedule
- use either carefree gold, glycerin, hawaiian 14-in-1 and or a combo to seal in moisture.
- top off with olive oil or coconut oil
- add a touch of gel for frizzies (optional)
- twist and sleep or fluff and go
- clarify once a month with acv (apple cider vinegar)
that’s it. sometimes it changes, but more often than not, it does not.
i like to try a lot of products though (so sometimes #2 and #4 change up), a different condish here and there, gels, etc., so i’ll be doing plenty of reviews.
my hair back story
like most little black girls, i was natural up until my teens. it was actually the year i was to turn 13 (so i was 12) that i got my first relaxer.
