This blog is a exploration of growing long, healthy hair; void of relaxers, flat irons and pressing combs. Following "Promise" wherever she wants to lead me and enjoying the colorful, uncut and raw journey that she is about to take me on.
The Urban Lifestyle scrapblogshows a month of hair growth that I took these the weekend of June 6th, 2009. You can not tell because of shrinkage but I had a lot of new growth about 1 inch. I can tell because when I twist my hair I do not have to grip so hard to twist the curls. Next update is July 4th.....see you then hairgraffitians.
I oil my hair everyday and sit under my dryer 15 minutes every day. Here is my homemade concoction.
1. Emu Oil (of course) - A carrier oil that penetrates through the hair strands 2. Coconut Oil - 3. Sulfur 8 (Clean and Fresh Fragrance). It is in the blue and gold jar, which has 2% sulfur that grows the hair.
I mix 1 Tbls of each, heat it in the microwave for 30min and pour it into my applicator bottle.
I am still searching to find products that will leave my curls soft and touchable after It's dry after many buys and returns I stumbled upon something so magical....it is like liquid gold in a bottle. It is called Elasta Care "Fells Like Silk" Styling Control Gel. Can I just say this is my new boo....sigh my hair is sot and oh so touchable. The gel does not leave my hair hard or a residue. And the best part for a 16 fl oz it only cost my about 7$ bucks. But the product feels like it would cost 20$ bucks. This will be in my hair arsenal for years to come. I use this product when I wash my hair weekly, as well as daily to un-frizz some of the curls when I go to work. I can not say enough positive things about this product. Love it!!! Love it!!! Love it!!!!
