My goal for my daughter hair is for it to grow stronger strands, moisturized hair and , of course, longer hair. For me to accomplish that goal, I meditated and came up with a solution. I'm going to baby her hair like it was my own child. YES! I know that sound weird but that's how i have to think of it. I'll do anything for my children for them to grow up into healthy, successful, faithful individuals; by doing that I have to give each one of them my undivided attention and unconditional love. Therefore, that's what I plan to do with my daughter's hair! Make sense.........right?!
Anywho, I came up the idea to constantly maintain her hair by doing the following:
A. Moisturizing her hair daily. I neglected to do that which caused in breakage and dryness; therefore, daily moisture will prevent that from reoccurring. Her hair will be moisturized with water and oil through the bagging method. Her hair is very dry and I figure the best way to revive it is by keeping it moisturized. My plan is to spritz her hair with water, apply oil and cover with a plastic cap every night until I see changes
B. Co washing in between washes. As I mentioned in my previous post, I washed her hair once a week. My plan is to Co-wash her hair in between washes. Therefore, I'll wash her hair every Saturday and co-wash on Tuesdays/Wednesdays.
C. Scalp Massages weekly. I've read in multiple articles/blogs that scalp massages stimulates blood circulation helping the hair grow, plus it also helps with dryness of the scalp. I plan to scalp massage her head twice a week using my Castor oil mixture( Castor oil & olive oil); I'll do it on both wash days.
D.Weekly Deep-conditioning. This is something I ALWAYS do weekly therefore it will not be much of a change.
E. Weekly Oil Treatment. I plan to oil treat her hair every other week before deep conditioning. I'll do so by shampooing her hair, apply the oil mixture, cover with plastic cap and place her under the dryer for 15 to 20 minutes.
F. Monthly Protein treatment. To replenish her hair,I plan to do monthly protein treatments. I', however, will make my own protein treatment until i figure out the right formula or mixture for her hair.
G. Protective and/or low maintenance styling. To avoid breakage and stress on her thin fragile hair, I plan to put her hair in protective styles. Now, my idea of protective styles for my daughter are styles that protects the ends but are easy to take down during the week for wash day. Styles like that would be buns, ponytails, twists and etc. To protect her ends better, I do plan to add extensions to her hair.
So there's my play book for operation revive my Momo's hair. I hope this plays out well. :-/
