6 Month UnbeWeavable Hair Challenge 2012

This month I am starting a 6 month weave challenge in line with the promotion of hair growth. Starting January 12' to July 12' will be the 6 months of this challenge helping you and ME to grow longer and healthier hair. Make sure you don't use a glue-in weave that's NOT ALLOWED because its damaging to the hair! It has to be a SEW-IN!! In order for this challenge to be successful you must carefully maintain your weave and hair!

Tip of The Week #3

Pre-Poo a.k.a before shampooing...It is good to do this in order for our hair to be moisturized before doing a shampoo. Shampoos removes most of the moisture in our hair when we wash with it, so doing a pre-poo helps add more moisture to our hair. This definitely keeps some moisture in our hair even after we wash with shampoo. It is good to use oils (eg. Olive, Castro, Coconut...) to make like a hot oil treatment (apply the oils on the hair warm or hot) on the hair.

What's Co-Washing?



**Recommended Conditioner Giovanni
Smooth As Silk



Co-Washing is when you use conditioner instead of shampoo to wash your hair. Cleansing the hair using a basic rinse-out conditioner, this is definitely good if you are without Shampoo. Co-washing avoids harsh results from frequently shampooing your hair, leaving your hair soft and manageable. Now you know I'm an advocate for using natural products so if you do look for a conditioner make sure to look at the ingredients to avoid getting a product that has harmful chemicals such as harmful alcohols which I notice is in many conditioner products. Now I was paranoid "LITERALLY" in seeing Cetyl and Stearyl Alcohol as the ingredients in many conditioners but through research I have found that basically its harmless to our hair.

First Use of KimmayTube Leave-In Conditioner

Okay sorry ya'll been busy with other things in my life but I finally used the leave-in conditioner. I know I told ya'll I was gonna wash my hair this past weekend but I didn't get a chance to until Wednesday to wash my hair. So I pre-washed using my oil mixtures, shampooed, conditioned then put in the leave-in conditioner last. I'm not gonna say when I put in the leave-in conditioner that something miraculous happened to my hair but I did notice my hair was easier to detangle and comb. I TRIED to twist my hair and let it air dry and the next day I undid my twists to comb my hair noticing my ends was nice and soft.
