16 MAR 13 TRYING OUT NEW PROTECTIVE STYLE

Buns buns buns! I've been wearing buns for a whole year now and my hair seems to be at a standstill. I haven't noticed any breakage but when i touch the top of my hair I definitely feel shorter hairs on top which equal breakage :(. I have to admit, despite all the advice given by you bun rocking ladies I haven't really been listening lol:

- Rotate that bun: Because my hairline is thin I couldn't wear a high bun
- Don't sleep in the bun: Just being lazy
- Don't make that bun too tight: Personal preference

All these things have helped to cause more damage to my hair. So while watching YouTube videos I came across the flat twist, thanks Shlinda1 (http://m.youtube.com/user/shlinda1) and Sidnetra23 (http://m.youtube.com/user/sidnetra23)!!!! And hair LIKES!!!!

Benefits:

- Less breakage
- Less manipulation
- Less stress
- and for me, less shedding (not sure why)

Saturday was my wash day this week, this is what I did:

1) Prepooed with mixture of Burt's Bees Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Treatment, Neutrogena Triple Moisture Hair Mask and EVOO for 30 minutes
2) Washed with Kenra Moisturizing Shampoo with added garlic for shedding
3) Light protein treatment with Aphogee 2-Min Keratin Reconstructor
4) DC'd with mixture of Silk Elements Moisturizing Treatment, GVP Biolage Conditioning Balm, AtOne Botanical Reconstructor, vegetable glycerin, honey, EVOO, coconut and grape seed oil with heat for 30 mins
5) ACV rinse to lock in moisture
6) Applied Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Treatment and Elasta QP H-Two Leave-In
7) Air dryed
8) Moisturized with S-Curl No-Drip, sealed with coconut oil and applied Wild Growth Oil to scalp and hairline
9) Flat twisted hair

Also discovered that heating coconut oil and applying it to hair is the best way for me to seal with it :) I'm so stupid at times lol!

* Added Omega-3 to routine
