Wash Day

So it's been one week since I got my relaxer and I am trying to get use to my hair. As I mentioned before my hairdresser straightened my hair a little too much, but that isn't why I have to learn to take care of my hair again. I decided to forgo the twist this time around. I was disappointed by my progress in some areas, namely the sides (which are my thinnest areas), so I am hoping that this cycle (between relaxers) will produce better results than the last.

I did my first co-wash, and it went okay. I almost had a tangling mishap, thank god I was able to prevent too much damage--still getting the hang of it Smiley. I decided to try out the Burt's Bee Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Treatment mixed with the AORM and HR (2 part AORM per 1 part HR and Avocado Butter) w/ a tsp of my conditioning oil blend. It came out pretty good. Felt moisturized, had some slip. I then followed up with my trusty ACV rinse then used IC Fantasia Aloe Complex Leave in (hated it) and usual Komaza/Elixer mix. My hair felt a little stiff/hard and my scalp feels a little itchy as I am sitting here typing. I'll see what result I garner once my hair has fully dried. Overall, my hair looks moisturized and feels okay. I had little to no breakage and my ends looked better.
