So first off let me say that my hair was sooooo tangled and I don't think that I managed to get all of the tangles out -- such a nightmare. I think my Alopecia is under control for the most part. I'm still taking my antibiotics. As far as I can tell, no hair is growing back. So below is what I did yesterday after I took my weave out.
- Washed with Suave Rosemary + Mint shampoo
(shout out to my summer employer).
- Quick conditioned with Suave Rosemary + Mint conditioner
and started to detangle. I tried to divide my hair into sections and comb out all of the dead hair. It was hard and like I said above, I don't think that I got all of the tangles out.
- Mixed my favorite deep conditioner, Redken Butter Treat conditioner
, with extra-virgin coconut oil. I let this marinate on my hair for about 5 minutes. I probably should have sat under the dryer, but I didn't have time.
- While my hair was still damp, I put a few drops of Moroccan Oil
through my hair. This stuff smells AMAZING. Moroccan Oil has been on my wish list for a while now, so I purchased the very small bottle at my local beauty supply store for about $12 and I am not disappointed at all!
- I used what little bit that I had left of the Kinky Curly Knot Today
to try to finish detangling my hair.
- Using no additional product, I did very big 2-strand twists, sealed the ends with more Moroccan Oil, and let my hair air dry.
I'm just amazed at how long my hair is now. I'm sure that I need a good trim. I'm thinking of attempting to do this myself, little by little, as I continue to do my hair each week. It shouldn't be too hard to clip my ends when my hair is twisted. More to come!
