Okay, so last week i did another big chop. My natural hair had grown about 2 inches and the tips grew out straight. In my previous blog pictures you can see that my tips are straight in those pics. I took those the week of my first chop in May. I cut off about an inch and now most of my straight ends are gone. SO I'm kinda' back where I started in May. My hair texture is changing and I've changed the products I'm using as well. Through research I discovered that the "natural organic" products I was using had petroleum, silicones, sulfates, and mineral oil. How do these companies get away with this?
How can a container say Jojoba Oil on it and use the words organic in the company name and you look at the ingredients and it's petroleum jelly with a splash of jojoba thrown in. I've had to change my shampoo, conditioner, and styling products.
I'm using the curly girl method and I love the curl definition it gives my hair. The silicone products made my hair look great but after using them for two months straight my hair became very dry. Now I only use products that are water soluable. My hair is thriving and growing about an inch a month. I am so happy. I will never go back to relaxed hair. This is so much easier. I just co-wash and rinse daily in the shower, shake and go!
No more hour and a half to flat iron my hair every morning like when it was relaxed. Going natural has saved me so much time in the morning.
