So I've survived a week of the hair challenge and I happy to say that I do have less frizz. My twist outs lasted longer and I'm wearing my hair in plaits this week so I'm excited to see how that goes. My hair also feels less heavy and I don't have as much build up on my scalp. I can understand more when I read the article and it said Shea butter and castor oil is very heavy.
I think my favorite part about this is less frizz. I live in Florida and its humid a lot. When I wear my hair in twists or plaits I usually get 2 good days before frizz starts taking over. Over the weekend I wore my hair in bantu knots which I haven't done since I started transitioning at the end of 2013. What the hell was I thinking? How did I let that simple hair style escape me? I took the knots down today and have braids because I will be going back to work tomorrow.
The lack of build up is making me very happy. Before I could scratch and itch, pull my hand back and oil and stuff would be under my nails. Now if I feel the need to scratch I'm not pulling that back. My hair also has a shine to it. My hair is looking darker than usual and its generally staying moisturized. I've been spraying my conditioner water on it in the morning because the best way to add moisture is water.
So far so good. My next post will be about my experiences with henna last year
