Keeping Hair Simple

Hello Berries!

So I get a lot of questions about what I do to my hair and honestly I can never really tell people, because I really don’t do anything to my hair. I keep it simple and do the bare minimum to keep it from looking crazy. I think that is what people with natural hair or hair in general forget to do. You do not have to do all this extra stuff to your hair to get it to look nice or to grow. If you just love your care and take care of it, then it will grow. One thing that I learned is my hair likes to cleaned and left alone.

So here are some simple steps for any person with hair, whether you are natural, relaxed, texlaxed, transitioning, or whatever.

**** I will not be talking about co-washing, because I do not like to co-wash. This is all my own opinion and the things that I think you should do to your hair.

Cleanse your hair

You can co-wash your hair if you please, but you MUST shampoo your hair at least once a month. If you are using products with chemicals or heavy oils, you must strip all that product out of your hair and scalp or that stuff will sit on your hair and make it look dull or will gunk up your scalp and cause some issues.

Condition your hair

You need to replenish the hair of all the stuff you look out of it when you cleansed your hair. Find something that makes your hair soft and able to detangle easily.

Deep Condition your hair

I do not deep condition my hair. I do not have time for this and have yet to find a deep conditioner that works for me. I do use a protein treatment once a month though. Honestly, this step is optional.

Moisturize your hair

Leave-ins, butters, and oils. You do not have to use the LOC or LCO method in this step, but you do want to use something that moisturizes the hair and seals in that moisture.

Style your hair

Style your hair the way you want your hair to look and leave it alone or not, the choice is yours. Just enjoy YOUR hair.

Question: What is your regimen?

Thanks for being beautiful

Organix Brazilian Keratin Treatment

Hello Berries ,

I did my Keratin Treatment a few weeks ago & it went pretty well. I didn’t get any heat damage or anything. I will not being putting any heat in my hair for awhile, I’m still not sure when. I did trim my ends & took about an inch, which is good for not trimming my ends since June. I have been twisting my hair up or wearing buns for the passed two weeks. My hair did not get very straight, but it was fine for what I was trying to achieve.

****Please excuse my face. I was not wearing any makeup & my skin looks bad !

This was after washing my hair & letting it dry.

This was after letting it dry until it was mostly dry.

This was after I applied the treatment.

This was after I blow dried one side of my hair. My hair loss weird here.

This was after I finished flat ironing & trimming. I am currently pushing bra strap length. I was at bra strap length before I trimmed my ends.

These were my ends before I trimmed them. They looked raggedy & a hot mess. My hair does look thick & full.

This was my hair before I trimmed it. It was touching my bra strap , but I would not call it full bra strap length, because I had to pull it to reach my bra.

Well this my Brazilian Keratin Treatment process & a process it was. I did enjoy the ease of straightened hair. I am still deciding what my next step of this hair journey is & honestly it is not an easy journey, but I try to manage & stay positive.

Thanks for staying beautiful !
