Coil Junkie

Phew, was going to blog last night but I was just so worn out. Tery came to visit, and as usualy, my Monday couldn't be any better. He had an interview at the Old Navy in SoHo; it goes without saying he did fantastic. I know he'll get the job-and we'll go out to dinner to celebrate. I feel...although Tery does visit only once a week, we've achieved another magnitude of closeness-and I appreciate him evermore. He's everything to me...
As far as today goes, I slept for most of it. When I managed to get up, I played DDR for about 30 minutes, when I realized...my scalp was in need of a serious wash. All that sweating from the weekend and especially the weather had left my scalp yearning for some moisture. Promptly, I rummaged through my cabinet and started my first of my two weekly washes. After being natural for two months, it really has me more attentive and conscientious about the health of my hair. Having afro hair, I experience dryness if wash more than 2 times a week. I wash Wednesdays and Sundays; since it was feeling as dirty as ever, I resolved to today. To avoid additional dryness, I use a sulfate-free shampoo Kinky Curly Come Clean; my favorite conditioner Herbal Essences Hello Hydration; and my new long-term deep conditioner, Curl Rehab Moisturizing Hair Treatment by Curl Junkie. It smells like strawberry ice cream, which alone sold me.

Since my hair texture's thick and its type kinky as well as coily and curly, it's a chore detangling. To detangle, I coat my hair in conditioner (douse is more like it), and section it off into six sections with metal duckbill clips. I then undo one section at a time, comb through with either my Wet Look or Jilbere' wide-tooth comb (not pictured) and detangle from the ends up. If I'm in the mood for additional detangling, I use my Denman D3.

Sectioning had actually made shampooing easier, as wlel as my hair more managable. It took a little longer, but I loved the results-especially of the deep conditioner. My hair was extremely soft and I couldn't stop playing with my hair. As of today, Curl Junkie's Curl Rehab Moisturizing Hair Treatment will be a permanent staple in my routine. Tomorrow's work, so let's see how that goes..and by the way: here's the results.

Nice....It looks somewhat similar to mine. The only difference is when I'm done washing my hair, I look like the black version of Shirley Temple. For my next post, you inspire me.
