Lovely Fragrance

So I thought last night's post was published last night, but apparently it didn't but oh well, it's published now! :-)

Today my hair smells awesome. My scalp is still tingling and feels pleasantly tight. As I mentioned before, I didn't section my hair before co-washing so it took me longer to detangle (almost an hour!) but that won't be happening again. I think next time I'll use my spray bottle to wet my hair and then apply my conditioner before I get in the shower. That way I can section my hair and take my time doing it.

Maybe I'm crazy, but it does seem my hair has grown a bit since I started the GHE. I seem to have a bit of new growth, judging by my roots and how much farther my twists seem to stretch...but like I said, maybe I'm just crazy. I'm not ready to do another length check yet. I guess part of me wants it to be a surprise. I'm going to be ecstatic when my hair reaches APL (arm pit length).

I'm looking forward to even more positive changes with my hair.

I'm thinking of ditching the shower cap for some plastic caps because the shower cap crackles so much it sometimes wakes me up when I change sleeping positions. But, until I get some plastic caps I will hang on to the shower cap.

All Better

Last night I did the GHE and this morning my hair thanked me for it big time. My hair said "how dare you skip a day of pampering me!"

My nails are growing a LOT faster and I just filed them because they were making opening a bottle a challenge. I'm not sure if my hair has gotten any longer yet but it has definitely gotten softer. I'm not sure which thing I'm doing or taking that's causing that, but as long as my hair is happy, I'm happy.

I still didn't co-wash my hair but I'm DEFINITELY going to be doing that tonight along with my sugar scrub.

Hat Attack

Today I've gone with two strand twists and my favorite hat. Tonight I'll be doing my weekly co-wash and sugar scrub. I may even throw some honey in for added moisture but that all depends on how I feel.

Of course, I'll also be doing my nightly GHE and moisturizing and sealing with my detangling cocktail.

I'm not sure if my hair is any longer this week than last week, but I do know I'm having to take more time to finger part my hair. This is one reason I've been keeping my hair in two strand twists: at night all I have to do is untwist, spritz with water and seal then retwist.

I can see that my hair care regimen has become a habit. On my way back home from the day, I'm thinking "I can't wait to get home and moisturize and seal my hair". If I don't, I can't sleep. I used to dread doing my hair but now it has become somewhat of an emotional therapy for me.
