Hair for September 7

These past few days have actually been GOOD hair days!
I've always hated the straight bit at the end of my braids, though I love the waves I get from leaving the braids in overnight. So a few days ago, I randomly decided to rag curl my ends! And it worked- I had wavy hair all the way down. It's been fun having wavy hair. :)
I finally decided to try washing my length only once every four days. My new routine (until I can tell if it makes a difference):
Shampoo and condition
two days later- scalp wash to get rid of the obvious grease
two days from the scalp wash- shampoo
I loved how soft my hair was today, so I decided that rather than wash it, I'd leave it soft. :)
Also saw that goody now sells boar bristle brushes, and I could really use one, I'm still having to tear through my hair with a regular brush. (I need a good detangling comb too, obviously.)
Hmm, maybe I'm overusing the word 'need.' If I'm careful, I can detangle with my fingers, and then very gently brush with my regular brush. So let me rephrase that- I'd really like a BBB and good comb. :)
A pic of my hair today:
(not sure how to do this)
