DEAR DECEMBER: DAY 15

As I type this, I'm giving myself an oil treatment just using Shea Butter and Coconut Oil. Not sure how long I'm going to let it soak into my strands but I do know that I needed it. My hair was so dry, it soaked the oil right up. Now the big question is, am I going to shampoo afterwards, or go straight to conditioner and wait another week before shampooing? Hmm... Then, if I do shampoo after, am I going to try roller-setting? am I going to dry wrap like I have done in the past? or am I going to wear it naturally curly? Decisions, decisions, decisions. Stay tuned...

Wet Wrapping for Straight Natural Hair

I found a way to keep heat out of my hair temporarily. I don't have to flat iron to get straight hair. I just simply have to wash as normal, condition, then apply wrap/setting lotion to my hair along with some oil. Apply it to the hair in a beehive form. Make sure it's nice and flat. Then wrap with a scarf. Allow it to dry overnight. The next morning, you should see a straighter style without the use of heat. I usually put the front up in a bun and leave the back down. It actually works and this will be my go-to way of straight hair instead of heat until summer.
