BACK TO BEING BUN-ERIFIC

Hi Beautifuls!

Just a quick pic post on the bun I did. On last week after finally, washing, deep conditioning and hennaing my hair I decided to just do a side-bun. The pics that I'm posting were a last minute attempt to get some photos of it. I'm trying to stay on top of taking photos of my different hairstyles. Especially if I like them. Just this particular day, I almost forgot about it, hence the hair photos via car.

Anyhoo, I did a wet set bun. After partially cool-rinsing the condish out, I set my hair into the side-bun. After putting it into the ponytail holder, I parted my hair into 3 sections. For each section, I applied Qhemet Biologics Burdock Root Butter Cream and then made two-strand twists. I sealed each twist with the "unknown" grease that smells so good. Lol. Then alternately placed them around the central ponytail, tucking the ends underneath the twists and securing them with a bobby pin.

For the top portion of my hair, I used a little Hairveda Whipped Gelly to lay down the edges and stray hairs. Then I covered it with a scarf and topped that with a bonnet and went to bed. Oh yes! I almost forgot. I did get under the dryer for about 30 minutes to get rid of the drips and most of the water.

OMG! Once I get my Nikon D "fill-in-the-blank", I'll do more & better photos. Including ones of dishes I prepare and try amongst other things.


Ttyl,

Remember my issues that I was having with my hair.

Well, the solution has been found!

Whether she knows it or not, one of my family members reminded me of the number one moisturizer - water. Thanks Pam! The summer weather was wreaking havoc on my hair before I began incorporating more of it into my regimen, . Now, I’ve upped my application of it to daily.

• Water: One-fourth of the weight, of a strand of hair, is made up of water. Water makes your hair supple and soft therefore you should have enough water. Water keeps your hair silky and shiny as well. *from iloveindia.com

Well, on top of having a wonderful shower filter, I’ve upped my application of water to my hair. I believe that’s all I needed to do. So every day, I put my head under the showerhead if but for a few seconds. When I do this, I make sure that the water is cool/cooler to ensure that my hair cuticles lay down. Sometimes I wet my hair a little. Sometimes I go ahead and give it a good rinse. And sometimes I full out co-wash it. It all depends on how active I’ve been and how I’m wearing my hair.

I can definitely tell you that my tresses are lovin’ it. After it’s been wetted, I apply a conditioner and/or butter. For my buns, I’ve been topping my hair with the Hairveda Whipped Gelly. Forget hair gels, I’m so lovin’ this stuff! And of course, I end by sealing my hair with an oil or pomade. Btw, if I use a leave-in conditioner I top it with the gelly and seal with an oil. If I use a butter (Qhemet Biologics Burdock Root Butter Cream), I top that with a pomade like Qhemet's Amla Oil Nourishing pomade. And yes, if I’m wearing my hair in a bun or smoothed down, I cover it with a scarf for a few minutes to allow it to set.


I’ve also brought back Apple Cider Vinegar Herbal Tea rinse to my regimen. I posted more about it here and here. The ACV helps to seal your cuticles, normalize your hair’s ph and make it shiny. Gotta love it!


So glad my hair is back to normal.
Hope this helps anyone out there. My hair certainly appreciates it!
