My weekend hair treat; Henna, Honey/Conditioner smoothie and Bantu knots!
Hiya,
How was the weekend? This weekend I gave my hair a little TLC! You see, let me confess, I put my hair in a top knot/bun on Wednesday last week and literally ignored it till Saturday! All I did while it was in the bun was spritz my water and glycerin mixture all over the hair and brush the edges!some times ignoring your hair like that can be beneficial to it because you are not combing and brushing and loosing hair BUT if you make the ignorance permanent thats when you will cause wahala!
Any ways back to my weekend, so Saturday morning came by and I mixed what was left of the first bag of henna I bought with an egg
sectioned my hair and slapped it on from root to tip, covered my hair with a paper bag and then my shower cap and lounged about the house for 3 hours. This concoction was recommended to me by the Indian lady at the Indian shop where I bought the henna from plus I did some research and I must say, henna is all the rave in the natural hair community o! Apparently it's also a great protein treatment, hmm protein and condition all in one! Love it; as you know Im the girl with relaxed hair that treats it as natural hair :)
When the 3hours were up, I mixed some pure honey with the TRESemme anti breakage conditioner I bought at Target(basically any good conditioner is fine) and slapped that on my hair too, loved the yummy smell. I am just calling it a smoothie for efizzy!*wide grin*
Then I allowed my hair to air dry and when it was almost dry decided to do a Bantu knot which I have not done in ages!
I sectioned my hair into 2 sections, moisturized my hair with my whipped Shea butter
then applied a pea size amount of TRESemme curl hydration which I love( just saw it, got it, never read a review and It works great for creating soft bouncy curls plus it's not expensive)

The next morning, I loosen the knots; the 2 in front loosened themselves overnight :( I spritz over the hair my water glycerin mixture and used my fingers to shake things up at the roots, flipped my head from side to side and ended up with soft beach wavy hair just as though I did a twist out!
Not bad, at least I gave my hair the acknowledgment it was seeking!lol
