Week six

Hey! This week has been a week of learning about my hair and how both me and my hair are handling things! 

It started almost a week ago(may 20) with me wanting to do a deeper and longer wash without missing any part of my scalp and really get that grease away! I got in the shower and washed it for like 40 minutes! I felt like it got better but there was much left when I got out so I just dryed my hair to see what it looked like... 

I ended up with this....Greasy, waxy hair in my scalp and normal-ish hair in the lengths. It looks like I'm in such a bad mood in the picture, haha! But after spending so much time in the shower I wasn't happy about the flat, waxy(but in a way soft) result. I started brushing it with my boar bristle brush when it was almost dry and the oil just moved down and ruined the look even more..

I could do this with my hair... And it just stayed like that... 

SO! I prepared a bottle of ACV-rince to run through my hair in the morning if it didn't get better. Greasyness usually get better from sleeping on it for me.

BUT! In the morning it looked like this! Nice, non-greasy, soft hair! A little flat but nothing at all like the night before! Wow!! So the bottle is still sitting on my drawer unused! :)

Conclusion! 

I've learned something! A deep wash is good! I gets all the grease to let loose and then I can bb-brush and it works best for me when my hair is damp/wet(not wet-wet but the roots are still a bit damp) cause then the waxyness just moves so easy and distributed in the hair moving since the oils in dry hair isn't moving very easy for me. I washed again 24th cause I wanted to look nice on a bachelorette party where I got several compliments on my hair! I'm so happy to have learned something about my hair and I hope that I can keep up with this routine for a while!

Xoxo, Susanne

week five

Hi everyone!

A step backward this week unfortunately. It feels more like week three exept for the course hairs.
I washed it on thursday but the result was just... I don't know what but I wasn't good... The ends were dry and the scalp oily so I washed it again on friday morning with a bit of a better result but still not as good as last week..

From before wash.. Not pretty..

 I dont have any pictures from between the washes cause I just rushed to the shower again.. Sorry!

Here's me, posing after second wash while my hair dries...

Got crazy with the microfiber cloth...

The result! Not gonna deny it.. But I have been wearing it in braids or ponytails since.. The hair wash just crazy... :(

Psst! I colored my eyebrows! ;)

I think my problem is that I don't really take care of my hair in between.. I dont massage much and bbb-brush. So that is my mission for next week! Hope for a better result!

week four

WELL HELLO!

Progress in the making! I'm starting to really see and feel a difference! The biggest difference is that my hair does not feel as course or hard as last week and does not get as frissy!

I am back at my original time of the week for washing wich is friday or saturday. I did a wash on tuesday but washed it now again on saturday. It was all planned out because I was going to my boyfriends house and he has a normal functional shower, one where you can stand under running water! My own shower/bathtub has a broken holder so you have to hold the handle by yourself and therefore I can only work with one hand.

This is what it looked like on thuesday after wash.

Not only is my hair getting alot better, it was also a lot easier to wash now! Just look at this sexy hair!

I have also discovered these little babies! Haha! They have always been there growing in my forhead but never this long! You can see one of them sticking out on the pictures above! haaahah!

 A week ago I would have braided it now when it's been two days after washing but my hair is still nice and soft with some volume so I think I'm gonna go one or two days more!

This is how it looks today(monday)

 I have to give my eyebrows some henna too.....

Another happy thing that I've find it that my hair is very lightweight now although the hairstrands are covered in sebum! Amazing because I love the feeling!

Facial water only?

About a week ago I was thinking about my facial routine vs. my hair and body routine. Since I now only wash my hair with water and so goes for my body most of the time I thought "Why not my face too?".

Before my routine was that twice a week was my face with first a toner and then deep cleanse with OCM(oil cleansing method). That has been working well for me but because of this water only chabang that I'm doing I want to take my face with me. My skin is oily in the t-zon but has been getting a lot better since I went no poo on it, especially by OCM.

So one week ago I started! I began to only wash my face with water morning and night with cold-ish water(not freezing cold) and pat my face dry with come clean toiletpaper. Im going to my a pack of dry wipes instead cause the paper is always falling apart! Haha! I've gotten 3 small come-and-go pimples since I began but my pores are looking good! I scrub my face with my finger/fingernails in the bath about 1-2 a week to get rid of the dead skincells.

The last thing I'm trying, but is so hard, is to not touch my face! I have gotting into the good habbit of not touching it with my fingertips atleast but only with knuckles or arm since those parts touch less thing and therefore is more clean so thats great but I used to touch my face all the time before so... I'll see how this goes.

week three

Week 3 is over everyone and this week has been a little different from the others and I've also found something that makes my hair so much cleaner!

It started great! The sebum has been getting less and less and is more problematic to get down to the end when there is not as much sebum to work with.

I was planning to wash my hair two times this week because there was a photoshoot on thuesay and an event on saturday so I thought it could be an experience to see how my hair reacts but when saturday came I didn't have the energy to care and I just put it up in a ponytail! So my routine is a litte bit off this week..

I also havn't been massaging as much as I should .. so I'm a little bit behind. Shame on me! Gonna do better until next week! Pinky swear!

So I washed my hair on thuesday and my hair looked GREAT by the way! ;)
And here is a butload of pictures!

I get a lot of fly aways and coarse hair.. that is annoying but a small price to pay! 

My hair is always a little bit dry after I've washed it :( I just go with it and try to move down the sebum as soon as possible!

But lets move on to something really exiting now! MICROFIBER! Or to be precise microfiber towl! I've got one from the store and I'm using it in my wet/damp hair and like rub it when in the scalp where it's the most oily and it just gets a lot of it away! I can see on the towl the grease that is coming of! It is so great! :D
