I tried to "undo" some of the damage I commited last month when I was wearing my hair down so much. I did a lot of heavy oiling this month and went back to wearing my hair up the majority of the time. Because I was oiling so much and heavily, I needed a shampoo that would remove the oil without stipping out the moisture, so I have been using Queen Helene Placenta Shampoo With Panthenol and Nature's Gate Herbal conditioner when needed. I did a heavy oiling almost before every shampoo twice weekly and I kept Monoi Oil on the bottom 4 inches of hair at all times. My hair did not look the greatest this month because the oiling left it lank & heavy, but I had it wrapped in a bun mostly anyway. I also did a minor S & D on my length, so overall I am happy with the results.
