One of Dem Sporadic Updates
This is the fro I usually wear when I don't feel like manipulating a twistout or puff. It's unstretched save for me pulling at it a bit to create some shape. I dampen it and usually run some kind of moisturizer through it; either shea butter or wave nouveau finishing lotion (has glycerine in it!), which keeps it soft and hydrated throughout the day.

I won't be wearing this all day, since I'm trying to get back into my old habit of Sunday being my day of pampering my hair and myself. So I'll be washing, deep conditioning and probably ACV rinsing the tresses. I'm not sure if I want to put in twists or not, but if I do I shall be sure to come back and update with pics.

Aight, so I've washed the hair and done a light conditioner with Aura Rosemary Mint Rinse. Lawd chile, that mint was soooo cooling on my scalp. If I still had a problem with the itchies this would be perfect for soothing them.
As I've mentioned before, the hair at my crown is more curly than coily and looser in texture, so it tends to stick up all cowlick like when it's wet. The rest is pretty much small penspring coils. I haven't worn a wash and go in ages, since it's too cold. Plus it shrinks like a sumbitch! But it'll be a nice switchup sometime in the spring.
So now I'm sitting with a deep conditioner in my hair. It's a mixture of Queen Helene cholesterol and olive oil that I warmed up in the microwave for a bit. Then I put a plastic bag on and tied a scarf over that. My head tends to produce a lot of heat, so I rarely sit under the dryer. I'll leave this on a few hours then rinse it out and the last step will be an ACV rinse.
