Changes to my regimen

(THIS IS AN OLD POST, I NEVER POSTED..IT WAS WRITEN IN MARCH 2011)
Okay, I feel the need to document some changes I decided to incorporate to my natural haircare regimen.
First of all I WILL CONTINUE TO ATTEMPT TO WASH MY HAIR ON SUNDAYS. I should say, SUNDAY WILL CONTINUE TO BE MY WASH DAY.

Since I started to work out, more often and consistently I will have to cowash or even just rinse my hair with water on the days that I work out intensively. I am very excited about the gym. I basically will be doind cycling once  a week. I'll be doing Zumba once a week and some other different thing like yoga, or kickboxing or aqua, once a week. I just discovered those group exercises and I love them.

Now, I will attempt to continue to do braid outs and twist outs once a week. I feel more comfortable with braid outs right now, so I'll probably stick to those for now. I discovered these new bun that i make on "old" braid outs and I'll stick to that for a while. I also like the pompadour in the front and the hair in the back pulled up with 2 flat twists or a flat braid and bobby pins. Hopefully i can come up with other styles, in which I would feel as confortable as I do with the 2 styles mentioned above.

This week I did something different and I kind of liked it, so I'll try it a couple more times and I'll see how it goes. Basically I did an oil treatment in my hair and detangle. I'll try to continue to do thtat. I might do it on fridays or thursdays or even on saturdays. I'll have to see what works best.

I'll do egg protein treatments once per month, on the 1st sunday of each month.
I'll do the flat iron/foil deep conditioning treatments on the same day I do my protein treatments.

I'll take a  vitamin pill every night with dinner.
I'll continue to drink as much water as possible.

Today I tried the Giovanni shampoo and conditioner and will contiue to use it for now.
I'll still use my alaffia shampoo and conditioner once and a while, but I have to figure out a schedule.
Today I did a alaffia conditioner "prepoo" treatment and i'll continue to do that.

Wrap hair at nigths.
Sprizt water in the mornings.
Seal the ends of my hair with oil.
That is it for now.. I'll document my changes.
As of now, my hair still feels kind of "thin" in the ends, but I watched a video that was made on 1/13/2011 compared to a video in 3/18/11 and the thickness and leght seems to have improved.

Back to my English Blog

Hi Guys,
Okay so I admit I had abandoned this Blog.
But, (big "but"), I'm now ready to continue posting here.
I was going to move to Wordpress.com because that is where I have my other blogs:
www.doseoffashion.com
www.afroproforo.com

It would be easier to manage all my blogs there...but I kind of like the fact that this one here is old...I have had it for a long time.. even if I was not posting on it...
Oh well... lets try this again... :-)
Will try to post every week. Probably on Sundays...
I might not stick to the schedule... but we will see.

I will be posting about my natural hair care journey, traveling, and just my life and experiences in general.
I think I should change the picture I have here, but I decided to leave it the way it is, for the same reason I'm going to keep this Blog and not create a new one at wordpress.com : I like seeing my Progress.
I plan to upload new pictures tho. So you can all see that I really truly do not have straight hair anymore..lol.
Thanks for reading,
Hugs and Kisses, Afri

This is a picture taken the same day as the picture above. We went to the park and shot some videos for my youtube channel and enjoyed the sun and the scenery.
