DIY Hair

These are the results of my first ever self flat iron! Not too shabby i'd say. Tonight i'm going to go back to my natural hair and attempt my first ever flat twist out! Stay tuned for the results of that!

As I mentioned in my last post, i've decided to let my current stylist go. While I absolutely LOVED the super straight relaxed look she gave my hair, it resulted in heat damage beyond belief. I believe the damage was a combination of

1. too much heat (blowdryer, pressing comb, and flat iron)
2. not using heat protectant
3. me not caring properly for my hair at home

I've now taken it upon myself to care for my hair 100% myself at home. My current regimen is

Wash 1x a week with Aubrey Organics HSR conditioner
Rotate ApHogee reconstructor and deep condtioning with Aubrey SR/olive oil/coconut oil weekly (once my hair becomes stronger, I will use ApHogee less frequently)
Moisturize nightly with Cantu Shea butter leave in, seal with coconut oil
Wrap hair every night with silk scarf
& last but not least, rotate between straight and no heat hair styles

I found these videos really helpful in learning how to care for my hair at home, hopefully my readers will too!


I tried to embed them, but blogger isn't letting me, so here are links instead!
