The weather has been very humid here in VA so I have had to embrace my shrinkage.  While prepping to wash my hair, I noticed that I am experiencing major breakage in the front AND the back of my hair – Shhhhucks!  So I decided to do some damage control and steam my hair.  Picture not included but I used my Huetiful steamer.  Below is 10 day dirty pelo (hair).

Process Time: 1 hour and 40 minutes 

Wash: 2X with Dark and Lovely Au Naturale anti-shrinkage Hydrating Soak Shampoo

Condition/Detangle:  Dark and Lovely Au Naturale anti-shrinkage Knot-Out Conditioner.  Finger combed hair from ends to root and rinsed with cold water.

Steam/Deep condition: (for 20 minutes) Nubian Heritage Indian Hemp & Tamanu (with Bamboo, Manoi & Garlic Extract) Grow & Strengthen Treatment Masque and a quarter size amount of Cococare 100% Argan oil from ends to roots.  Rinsed with cold water.

Diffused hair for 11 minutes on low heat.

My hair felt super soft and well conditioned but I’m a little worried about the amount of hair I shed and the noticeable hair breakage….Time to start preventing and experimenting!

Hugs,
