What's up everybody! Last month I celebrated my 5th year of wearing my hair in locs. It has been the best hair decision of my life. I just did my first re-twist of the year and I took some pics. I can't believe how long my hair is!
People are always complementing me on how good my hair looks, so here are a few of my tricks for soft and lustrious hair:
I wash my hair with Aubrey's Organics shampoo. If I run out and I can't get some more immediatley I wash with plain black soap. After I wash my hair I do a herbal infusion. I use distilled water, rosemary, sage, basil, eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, chamomile, hibiscus, black pepper, cucumber juice, aloe vera juice and grapefruit juice. Yeah, it's a lot, but my scalp feels so good after soaking my hair in it for 30 minutes. Then I do a hot oil treament with coconuit oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, jojoba oil, oregano oil, lavender oil, tea tree oil, and vegetable glycerin. I put a shower cap on my head after soaking my hair in this solution and then I go outside and sit in the sun for about 45 minutes. I rinse out the excess oil and then I retwist my hair with my own twist butter made with shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, sunflower oil, and lavender oil. I finish it off by spritzing my hair with water and glycerin. Yes, I really get it in when it comes to my hair, lol. I give myself the spa treatment. Day to day I use the same oil mixture that I use to do my hot oil treatments minus the glycerin and I spritz my hair with water and glycerin throughout the day.
I am a firm believer in not putting anything on my skin or hair that would poison me if I ate it. If I can't eat it, then it's not going on my skin or hair.
Now tell me that this isn't some of the best looking locks you've seen? Lol! *moment of vainity*
