Herbal Rinse time...

My hair LOVES it!
It really rinses my scalp clean and it nourishes my hair.
I love to do a herbal rinse after my co-wash, it really makes my hair feel clean

I infuse Nettle, Sage, Coltsfoot, Burdock, and Horsetail and then wash my scalp with it.

I can't wait to have healthy hair!

My hair really likes this cream and my hair feels amazingly soft, so like I stated before, I am going to give this products three weeks and then we shall see.

But so far, so good.

Maybe its just me?

It seems to me that my hair is not a big fan of shea butter. When I first started using shea butter to moisturize my hair, it was fine, but as time went on, my hair would feel hardish, especially my ends, and when I undo the twist my hair wasn't soft and it was very tangled.

So with sad regret, I am going to have to stop using shea butter for my hair, BUT I WILL continue to use the shea butter for my face! My skin LOVES it and it should help get rid of the dark marks.

So all is not lost.

Now since I no longer use shea butter to moisturize my hair, I am once again on the hunt to find a good moisturizer for my hair.

Which once again led me to my favortie natural hair website, nappturality.com

So I skimmed the boards looking for a good moisturizer for my very fine, very dry, type 4ab hair.

Well everyone was raving about Qhemet Biologics products. So OF Course I read every thread about their products and and visited the company's web site.

And lo and behold a lot of their ingredients are included in my herbal rinses so that is one major plus.

So after much deliberation, I decided to purchase their Burdock Root buttercream......

And so far I really like it, the jury will be out on it after a month of useage, but so far my hair likes it.

One step at a time...

I have to be patient, I have to be patient, PATIENCE!!!!!



I can't expect to grow my hair overnight, I can't expect to wake up tomorrow with a head full of hair, I have to keep my hands out of my hair and just let it do its thing. I have to stop looking at other people photos and compare lengths, it's not going to do me any good and its only going to leave me discourage.

I am happy to be finally taking care of my hair, so I need to keep my mind, hands, and thoughts off my hair.

As long as I take care of my body, drink lots of water, and take my vitamins, the hair will grow.

Picture Post

I've decided to take a picture of my hair every month, but I won't measure it until July 23(that would be six months).

So here are some pictures that I took yesterday:






So nothing really new with my hair, I "feel" like its growing but I can't be too sure, but whatever, I just want healthy hair right now.

I did my herbal rinse and my hair felt GREAT, I love how my scalp feels afterwards, it stinks like hell but its no biggie.

I hope it works!

So my hair today

So I added another "step" to my weekly routine.

Herbal Rinses.

So here is one of the benefits of a herbal rinse:

The reason why I use a final rinse after shampooing is due to the fact that the hair's cuticles and the scalp's pores remain open (depending on the texture of your hair). Thereby allowing the herbal infusion of plant proteins & nutrients to enter into the cuticle and eventually down into the papilla (the root that receives the nutrients from the follicle).

When my hair dries and the cuticles start to close the nourishment of the herbal rinse stays locked in.

My hair is clean and full of nourishment ready for styling, plaiting, twisting, cornrow etc..

It's always a good idea to select the right herbs that will provide your hair with nourishment and softness.

So guess who went out and purchased some herbs???

me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The herbs I am going to use are horsetail, nettle, sage, and burdock. I will use them as a final rinse.

Here are some photos

Herbs that I use:


and the oils I use for my spritzes and my scalp:

So far...

I am pretty happy with my hair at the moment.
It is extremely soft and manageable, no more breakage, and did I memtioned that its extremely soft?

I LOVE IT!

So far my hair likes my routine and has not reacted negatively to the oils, which is a very good thing. I am going to try a henna treatment next week, so that should be fun. I will definitely post pictures.

Pictures coming up next!
