New Hair Regimen and Natural Products

It took me almost a year to figure this out but I have discovered the three things that work for me better than any product ever has. Those things are: 

• Water
• EVOO ( Extra Virgin Olive Oil) 
• Shea Butter 

Over the course of the semester running, school, and job responsibilities have made it difficult to really focus on how I have been taking care of my hair. I've noticed significant growth since January but I think it's mostly due to low maintenance styling, no heat, and few products. I have stopped using unnecessary products in my hair. Mostly because it hurts my wallet but also because I can't pronounce half of the things on the jar (if you can't pronounce it you probably can't eat it and if you can't eat it then don't put it in your hair). I  always hear people complain about how natural products are expensive whatnot but I think they are just looking in the wrong places. Seriously if you want to go natural for cheap buy a jar of shea butter in bulk ($12.00 jar will last you at least a year no joke), EVOO, and a spray bottle for water. I know it may seem like a lot but it lasts! 

Here's how I use it:

• Once a month I clarify my scalp with a vinegar rinse to remove product buildup
• Deep Condition or Co-Wash if necessary 
• Pat dry with a towel and section detangle hair 
• Twist each section and distribute shea butter throughout each section 
• Let dry and take out the twists

At night before you go to bed 

• Separate hair into 4 or 5 sections
• In the spray bottle mix water with EVOO 
• spray and comb each section with a wide tooth comb
• Re-twist each section 
• Sleep with bonnet or scarf

I've been doing this for the past month and my hair has NEVER felt so soft before.
