Hair Update: May 2011

What have I learned about my hair this month? I learned how much my hair loves a good deep conditioning treatment. I also learned what it means to have a love hate relationship with your hair. I had MANY bad hair days this month. More than I care to remember actually...  lol. 

With my hair growing longer than it has been in many years, I am having to make many adjustments to maintain it. My hair doesn't dry overnight anymore so that has been a bit of a trial. Overnight bantu knots, flexi rod sets, twist out and braid outs are a no-go now. It has to be on damp hair or it won't dry by the morning. 

What new products have I used? I used the Bioinfusion olive oil deep conditioning treatment. This is an amazing product. I use it once every two weeks and my hair loves it more and more every time.

What products do you have your eye on? I want to try the Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie as a styling product. Sheena did an awesome review on this product. I have had others, Jen and Chels, tell me that their products are great!


I am also looking to purchase a hooded dryer. I have seen some online for $25!! This will help me to dry my hair in a few hours :)

Have you noticed any growth? Not significantly but slow and steady wins the race! I took some length check pictures today, with the help of my hubby:

Advice of the month:

Learn to love your hair for what it is. If we all had similar hair that would make for a boring world. (I will attempt to take my own advice).
