Hair Update

Since I've made a few changes to my hair regimen based on my hair's porosity level, I have noticed a difference in my hair. It retains moisture a lot better, it feels softer, there is less breakage. 

Some of the things I have done to adjust my products to help my hair along:

Shampoo (5.5 pH):
1.5 tbsp conditioning shampoo 
1.5 tbsp water
1/4 tsp lemon juice
3 drops tea tree oil and 3 drops of lavender (for alleviate scalp ailments) 

Conditioner (5.0 pH):
per 2 tbsp conditioner
1 tsp aloe vera juice
1/4 tsp of EVCO, EVOO, Argan and Avocado oil
(3/8-3/4 tsp hydrolyzed wheat protein if doing a protein conditioner)

Leave in (4.5 pH):
1 tbsp Knot Today
1/2 tsp aloe vera juice
1/2 tsp Jojoba oil
1/2 tsp castor oil

Styler (4.5-4.0 pH):
1 tbsp Camilla Rose Jai Almond Twisting Butter 
1 tsp aloe vera juice
1/8 tsp lemon juice (to lower to 4.0 for high porosity areas)

Spritz as needed (4.0 pH):
high porosity
1/3 cup water
3 tbsp aloe vera juice
2 tbsp veg glycerine

low porosity
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp water
1 tbsp veg glycerine 

These adjustments seem to be working for my hair so far. I notice my hair responds by clumping and curling really well. Little to no frizz and moisture that last for days and it feels very soft. I am also trying to stick with a set a product for a period of time to really give this new regimen a chance. So far so good because I notice if I deviate from this process even slightly I will get different results. I've also been able to learn which products do not work well.
