What I plan to do during that week is: take sew-in down, heavy pre-poo (well really like I normally do lol!), then wash, then deep condition (same way I do my pre-poo since i have a bowl to put it in). Then I am going to use my leave-in while it is wet. When it dries I will do what I did to help strengthen it that I kind of stopped doing. I used to do carrot oil at night followed by tea tree oil in the mornings. (I stopped and only did the tea tree oil either at night or in the morning). So, I think doing that everyday will help it out. I don't use a whole lot. Like just my middle finger worth. Then I rub it in my hands and just run my hands through my hair paying close attention to my ends. Then if I feel a little itchy that day, I will put some on my scalp. I have never been much of a scalp oiler because my hair gets way to heavy. Even when I use "weightless oils". I used to just do Oil Sheen but even that gets heavy after a while. But I noticed doing the day night thing, it gets heavy less fast. So I will do that up to the 12th, and then do my relazer the next day.
This will be my first but I would like to be totally self-able aside from the trimming. I go to great clips for that. So Iwill also be going to great clips on the 13th....or the 14th depending on the time. Because I will have to relax it, deep condition it, let it dry (still plan to air dry), and then flat iron it. Then we will check out my new length. I hope it is like a noticable change, lol!
On another note, I tend to getstressed out with school and especially during the last couple weeks. I am worried about the sew-in and all because my hair cannot shed properly braided up. So I expect a lot of shedding when I take it down. However, my fear is that it will be more than that. Last quarter (grad school but we do quarters so you can get more done in less time), my hair started falling out. And this is when it was still no chemicals. I mean it was falling out each time i washed it like I had it braided for a long time of something. It was not a good look! LOL! Keep in mind, it was still thick.....too much hair, I swear.
I was suggested growth aids, but I am still worried just because of the trouble I had before with them. The increased itching, the dandruff. OH! AND SOMETHING I NOTICED IN RESEARCH! Most of these growth aids also INCREASE thickness. Nooooooooooooooooooo, thank you! If my hair gets any thicker i will cut it off again. There is just too much up there. It takes me like 1.5 hours to straighten my hair and it is short....it took that long when it was long just because of the length. It is was more thick now! LOL! I cannot deal with MORE thickness. Oh yeah! so I measured some of the hair in the front of my head, it is now 2 inches long!!!!! That is with the humidity! I am so excited. I just need like 3.5 more inches in certain areas for it to be to my chin. I think since it had been "layered" before, it will grow into a layered look again. I hope so, that would be quite convenient again, lol! That way, the sides will make up most the length and the top just comes down too. That would be great! I like layers because it gives you added volume.
Soooooo, anywho....I am gonna try something tonight when i wash my hair, we will see how it goes. I don't want to pre-poo with the heavy conditioners because of build up so i am gonna do just olive oil with that squeeze bottle. And just try to saturate my braids as much as I can.
