One thing I really enjoy is going on YouTube and viewing hair videos. I still have not decided whether I am going to go full blonde, or if I am just going do some highlights, because my main concern is trying to do things carefully to prevent damage.
Right now, I wear my hair natural, and do a lot of twist outs and braid outs with a new baby. However, I enjoy roller setting my hair when I have time. I do not typically straighten it all the way out after roller setting; I just apply oil and separate the curls with my fingers. I like those results, but might straighten my roots with a flat iron for a different look in the coming weeks.
I like this video that follows. I especially like how she outlined her process in a manner that was straight and to the point. I do not think I will flat iron my whole hair strand though, just the roots, and I do not think I will blow-dry the roots, because I think that much heat is not necessary. When I do flat iron, I typically use it on low, and I typically have bigger and poofier hair, but I like that better anyway.
I really like this video that follows because the girl who made it experienced real hair growth. My only issue is the avocado in the recipe. I think washing food down your shower drain when you wash your hair is an invitation to critters, so I’m thinking I will make a similar deep conditioner, but just use a natural store bought conditioner with oil added. I feel that the regular use of the deep conditioner is what might have made her hair seem to grow faster because it was not breaking off as much, so she was retaining length.
I think many people use deep conditioners regularly, but actually only get around to doing them once a month, or once every two weeks or so. Life gets busy, and I think we often lose track of things like that. She deliberately did this treatment once a week, and her hair was 3 inches longer in 3 months, instead of ½ inch every month (the typical growth cycle).
