What changed?
I normally washed my hair once a week. This Spring I
washed my hair when I felt it needed it, so once every 7-15 days.
I did wear a lot of wigs because I was attending a
lot of Beauty Conventions and I love to be a little spicy with blue hair. (See
my Instagram pictures @MakeupVixen)
When my hair wasn’t under a wig it was in a low
ponytail or out in a flat twistout style.
The method I changed for caring for my hair was the incorporation
of the LOC Method (Liquid, Oil, and Cream). I would use the oil mix I mentioned
above then add a cream; the cream could be a leave in or creamy styler. The
Liquid was water. Due to the porosity of my hair I decided to add the oil while
still in the shower and a steamed room so that the cuticles were open and I
could seal it with the oil. I would put a towel over my head and then dry my
body off, and then I would apply my cream and start styling my hair.
Did I retain any length?
Yes, FINALLY! I have a VERY SLOW GROWTH RATE and I
normally only retain 1 inch every 3 months. This Spring I was able to retain 2
inches in 4 months, YAY!!
What contributed to the length
retention???
You’re gonna have to wait for that YouTube video to
be posted, lol.
