Marsha (Sixth Wave) of Hairoly (aka 24 Hour Hair)

So, the last few months I was a member of the GOC on Hairscapades. The challenge started in August 2011, which was a spin off of the Kim Coles/Curly Nikki GOC that took place at the start of February 2011. I vowed to protect my hair more in order to have a healthier outcome. I also vowed to eat better and exercise more in order to lose only a few pounds.

Weight:
I failed at exercising. However, I have continued to eat right, cheating from time to time. I am currently 121.5 lbs as of this morning, not the 118 lbs like I wanted to be.

Hair Regimen:

• I still henna monthly.
• I shampoo or co-wash my hair every 5-7 days.
• I deep condition every wash day.
• I steamed my hair with the steamer maybe twice since the start of the challenge.
• I purchased a hooded soft bonnet drier and I actually prefer it over the steamer.
• I pre-poo maybe every other wash day or when I have time to do so overnight.
• I do more scalp massages more now than before, since my setback with my new found love,  rosewater and peppermint oil, sealing with jojoba oil and/or CD Some of Marguerite’s Magic.
• I have learned that sticking with what works also increases the health and growth of my hair.
• I have been doing more protective styles which includes, flexi rods, updos and mini/microtwists without extensions.

I might not have reached the length that I would prefer, but I definitely feel like my hair has more fullness to it … Anyway, my healthy hair journey and GOC will always continue.
