I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to take a breath! SO much homework!! I can't wait till Spring Break begins next week - I will still have loads of homework, but I won't have strict deadlines, and will be able to work (and relax!) in my own time frame.
I think my hair is benefitting from the variety between herbal washes and using products. The only thing that products do better, in my opinion, is the fact that they are easy to spread. It is really easy to shampoo the scalp, but it's quite difficult to massage a thick, creamy mixture onto the scalp in order to cleanse it. Because of that, my scalp doesn't get cleansed properly when I do herbal washes, so I go back to shampooing the scalp sometimes. Right now it's mainly herbal washes, but once or twice a month I will use shampoo and conditioner. Tonight I am going to deep condition
and will shampoo my scalp tomorrow.
On Monday, March 29th (Mum's birthday!), I am going to trim, as it is the Spring Equinox and the most optimal date in the year for trimming. I only need to take a bit off the ends. I'm going to do a dry trim and measurement that day since it isn't wash day, and on Wednesday after washing I'll do my monthly wet measure-in. Before I measure in, I'm going to be doing a herbal wash... I have to figure out a method to make it easier for the herbs to cleanse the scalp. I think if I separated some of the paste and made it thinner it might be easier to use. I'll have to try it and see!
Love,
