Hair Regime

Hey guys!
So, as you probably know, I had my hair texturized/texlaxed for the second time in my life about one month ago. However, due to my z-shaped curls, my hair still looks and beahaves completely natural. Therefore, I have decided to make a list of things I use in my hair daily and for certain hairstyles. So, if you are natural, transitioning or texturized, you might be interested in this!

Must Haves: 

Hair scarf or cap for the night

Olive, Coconut, Jojoba, Argan or any other oil for everday

Conditioner(for co-wash and leave-in)

Shampoo(moisturizing)

Hair Tie(without metal piece)

For Hairstyles:

Cocoa or Shea Butter for sealing twists or braids

Bobby Pins

Bows, Clips, Bands(accessories)

Personal Addition:

Rat-Tail Comb

Tangle Teezer

Water-Oil Spray

Shower Cap

Hopefully, this might help you with your regimen, but remember: Everyone is individual, so perfect products will vary from person to person.

 

New Style

So, since yesterday I am wearing my first long-term protective style ever!!! Normally, I make my hair all nicey-nice and then just take it out in the evening. However, I am now wearing loose twists and it just makes me soo happy. When I get up in the morning, I don't have to worry about making my hair look presentable, but simple put a cute accessory in. Also, this helps me stick to my new plan of not making my hair wet everyday, which is what I used to do. Now, I plan to co-wash my hair twice a week and use shampoo every four weeks. Summarizing, I feel a lot better about my hair now that it is texturized and easy to handle. I think that all the bad side effects of chemicals mainly appear if you stop to treat your hair like you used to. I still put oils in and I still use leave-ins.

A Change

   Okay, so this post might make a few of you stop reading my blog. However, I want to explain specifically why I did what I did and would want to ask you if you would still count me as part of the natural hair community. So, here's what I did... I texturised my hair. I did this because I could not deal with my natural hair, which is of a 4c/d pattern. Living in Germany and being a pupil, I did not have enough time and energy to do things like twisting my hair every night, wearing really difficult protective styles or buying awesome products. Now, I do not have to deal with having loads of knots everyday just because I did nothing. In order not to make anyone think that I now have straight or only wavy 3c/4aish hair, I can comfort you. My hair is a 4bish texture, just with less knots. Also, I always followed the teenage-girlish dream of longer hair, so now I have it. Now, to repeat my question: Would you still count me as part of the natural hair community or do you think that whichever type of chemical immediately excludes you from this commuity?
