Apple Cider Vinegar Rinses

Okay lets just jump right on into it. This is not going to be a long post at all ( I think...hopefully.) I wash my hair every week with a non-sulfate shampoo, however, this is not enough. For anyone who is not a natural curly, this is not disgusting and is actually recommended. Moving along, while my hair is okay with this shampoo routine my scalp isn't. It will itch and annoy me so I have started using a apple cider vinegar rinses in the middle of the week to hold take care of my scalp buildup.

I used a applicator bottle 50% water, 50% acv. I applied Original Moxie's shape shifter for the first time, ya'll that thing stinks! Putting it in my hair was a surprise because it had so much slip, or so I thought. So I tried the shape shifter again, no slip. This week I did the acv rinse followed up with Giovanni's Smooth as Silk Condish (because I get split ends like no one's business and thought I could use a little protein) and my hair felt so smooth and then it hit me. ITS THE ACV YOU BIG DUMMY!

AND THEN IT HIT ME AGAIN...YOU HAVE HIGH POROSITY HAIR!

Okay this is big for me ya'll. I have been natural for four years now and I thought I knew my hair. But now its like I'm still learning. And now i'm rethinking my views about products may not be because they suck it may be due to the porosity in my hair and its raised scales on the cuticle. I'm doing research and rethinking how I'm going to create a new routine for washing and styling my hair as well as retrying products with the acv to see if this will make a difference.

 Take care beautiful curlies!

Satin Hair Scrunchies (Bonbons Cheveux Boutique Review)

Hello Beautiful Curlies!

I recently lost my satin hair scrunchie! Yes, it was devastating. I was reduced to using a regular hair elastic. you know, the one without the metal but still snatches you bald with the melted part in the middle of the elastic. And I have proof!

 This pseudo-hair-healthy-alternative (sans metal) elastic ripped my hair out. And this was from only one day. Soooo...I began looking for another satin scrunchie on etsy. I saw a shop called Bonbons Cheveux Boutique that sold a three pack of satin scrunchies for only $12 (plus $2 for fast shipping). They are 100% Charmeuse handmade scrunchies.

 I received my scrunchies in less than a week and immediately replaced the elastic for the scrunchie. I choose three black ones but they sell these in many colors and also sell satin hair bonnets. Included is their business card and care instructions for the scrunchies. I am sooo happy with these. Check these guys out on etsy  Bonbons Cheveux Boutique.
Btw my first experience with satin hair accessories was with Ebonicurls bonnets which i will be doing a review for soon. Take care Curlies!
