Hair Talk | Feb 4

Sunday-Thursday*: each day I spritzed with my homemade leave-in, showered for steam, applied dermatologist-recommended topical gel for my CCCA, retwisted top row of hair + sealed with shea butter, plopped on my hair hat and went about my biznazz!

Friday: @ night I took out the cornrows under my "hat"+ applied vitamin E oil to my scalp, aloe vera and carrot oil to my ends and washed my hair with the Shea Moisture Black Soap Shampoo, and conditioned with Organix Macadamia Oil Conditioner**

Saturday: I put my hair in a bun to go run errands

Sunday: I attempted a mohawk with a shoelace and 4 bobby pins.*Note, on Thursday I went to a different dermatologist and he said my medicine instructions weren't aggressive enough. Instead he told me to apply my gel twice a day instead of once, and gave me an oil to use instead of the gel. He also complemented me on my wig, saying he thought it was my hair and I blended it well :) 

**Because I didn't deep condition this week, I read my book on Sunday (instead of doing so under my bonnet dryer).

Winter "Hair Hats"

Most people associate winter accessories with scarves, gloves and hats. But I don't mean hats in the normal sense. For those looking towards protective styles, I'm referring to hair hats. You can keep your hair in two stand twists or flat twists underneath, allowing you to take the hat off and properly cleanse and moisturize your hair weekly. They don't have to look tacky where people can see the tracks or glue in your "invisible" part, or see the lace in your lace front. They can look realistic! See below for some hats I've made or bought.

You can even make your own. Materials?
