Something a bit more lighthearted than the other OT currently going on. You guys, I’ve been on the no poo/no cones bandwagon for 9 months now and the SLS-free bandwagon for at least 5 years, and I fell off the wagon recently—my hair had been so frizzy and my curls so undefined lately, and a friend with gorgeous curls mentioned that her hair loves the cheap stuff and maybe I had product buildup, and I acquired some good old fashioned Herbal Essences shampoo and it smells so good guys, like the days of my youth. I don’t think buildup was the problem though; it faded my green dye quite a bit, and my curls remained undefined. And then I acquired some of the old Miss Jessie’s leave in I used to use, and some Multicultural Curls (I used to use Bumble and Bumble but that’s not something you can impulse-buy at CVS in a thunderstorm at midnight), and today I used all three, and my hair, you guys, it smells and looks so good. The no poo method has been so good for the overall health of my hair, but done nothing for my curls really.
I’ve been on this whole big changing my hair phase for a while—first with the green dip dye, then just last Friday with the impulse bangs (they look great—sometimes my impulses are not ill-advised after all), and maybe I just missed my pretty curls. Maybe going forward I’ll use the products with cones, and shampoo a couple times a month so I don’t damage my hair too much. IDK. I have so much shit going on in my life right now and all I can really make myself excited about is my hair.
So let’s talk about our hair routines!
