Anemia Damaged Growth Check
My original plan was to grow it out for 2 years and then cut off all the thin/damaged hair. However, dealing with two textures is becoming too much. I have lots to tangles, knots, and dryness.
Well folks, I cut about 2-3 inches of the damaged hair. Well I did not cut it; I went to my stylist. I wanted to cut all the damaged but she advised we do it in small steps and then add layers once all the damage hair is gone.
I made this cream and my hair loves it! I use it for wash and go styles, twist outs, and lately a flat twist out. I found the recipe on Pinterest.
The Perfect Natural Hair Cream- DIY!
8 oz of raw natural Shea butter
4 oz of raw coconut oil
4 oz of Aloe Vera gel
1 Tbs of jojoba oil
1 Tbs of Castor Oil.
This mix is one of my favorites to use on my hair for sealing in moisture, it also yields amazing twist outs.
New Haircut!
So here is my new shorter hair and I am loving it! It's amazing how holding on to damaged ends for length is actually counter productive. I am ready to cut more but at the advise of my mom and stylist...I'll be patient :-)
