My finger coils are on their  last. But I'm making it work, not bad though seeing that I washed them on Wednesday.

Just Checking In

It's been a little while since I have been here and that is because I really have not been doing much to my hair. I did do my first henna treatment last weekend. But I only remembered to take pictures after the henna was gone out of the dish and in my hair,lol and honestly I was not feeling in the best of moods either. Oh by the way, Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving if you did celebrate it. In Jamaica we don't.

Apart from rocking my itsy-bitsy-teenie-weeny-afro, I did some twistrows and I am currently wearing finger coils!! Yay!! My first finger coils(overly excited ). Luckily I took pics to record and show you.

By now you should now that my favourite place to do my hair is in front of a good comedy like "Big Bang Theory" or "Three and a Half Men"...these were done while watching the latter. lol. I brought my spray bottle with water, coconut oil and shea butter mix into the living room. While doing them the sequence was water, coconut oil then shea butter which makes it easy to twist the hair with little to no breakage. 

These I think could grow on me. Took me a long time to do them, but that will hopefully change with practice. It would be easy to do on someone else. Just a bit tricky and uncomfortable to on my own head. I also used  water, shea butter and coconut oil to achieve this style and I am contemplating doing it for awhile as my low manipulation style.

*UPDATE*

I have decided that I will use the full Gro Aut Line as my staples along with honey and olive for deep moisture and henna / mayo and avocado for protein. One of my goals is to simplify my regimen and this would be a great step toward doing so. I am deep in love with Gro Aut products and the results it has been giving me. So I see absolutely no reason why I wouldn't want to just stick to their products.

Aloe Vera and Avocado Deep treatment

Today is deep treatment day and I decided to do another avocado deep treatment. I mean why not? The other half from last week's treatment was in my fridge and about to go bad. So I decided to use the rest today.

The mix:

Half an Avocado
1 fillet of aloe vera
10 drops rosemary oil
10 drops peppermint oil

mix, mix,  mix and voila! :)

I first washed with


then I covered my hair and scalp with the deep conditioning mixture, which I kept in for 1 hour.

After which I thoroughly washed the mixture  out and coated my hair strands with

On top of this I applied my conditioner

and finger detangled my tiny curls...left it to air dry and this

was the results. Somewhat of a definition on a soft teenie weenie afro. I coated my hair with oil before applying my conditioner because it makes finger detangling easier.
