New Lazy 'Do
I am always excited to share something new, even if it is really nothing, so thank you for putting up with me as I express a lil bit of joy :o). My hair is growing at a nice pace, so I am able to do more. I blew it out this morning, but didn't want to just pull it back like I usually do. So before my Board meeting, I threw some clips in it and did a "half" pull back. The 'do is nothing special, but I can add it to the my list of lazy hairdos. Check out the pictures.
Overnight Oil Pre-Poo
After my trip to Cornell, in the mountains, my hair was feeling pretty dry. I wanted to do some sort of overnight treatment, so I decided on an overnight oil pre-poo. Since I am still on this Peppermint Oil kick, I was eager to mix up a concoction.
My mix included:
Peppermint Oil
Avocado Oil
Olive Oil
Vitamin E Oil
I didn't drench my hair in the oil, because I didn't want to wake up with a mess, but I definitely used more than I normally would; I would say that I used enough to coat the hair shaft. As I was applying my mixture, I made sure to massage the oil into my scalp as well. I put a plastic cap on my head and tied a scarf around my head. I figured that the heat would help the oil to penetrate as much as possible.
I woke up this morning and washed out the oil, and then continued with my normal wash/condition/deep condition routine. My hair is very soft and is full of life.
An oil pre-poo can be a cheap alternative to a overnight deep conditioning treatment. Chances are that you have oils in small amounts already.
