TUESDAY'S SOLUTION: OLIVE OIL

I know for a fact that you know what Olive Oil is used for; cooking obviously. But did you know that you can also use this product for your hair and skin? Of course you did, so did you actually try it out? Well I have, and still continue to use Olive Oil, well the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, known as EVOO in the hair hair world.  If you have dry hair, thick hair, dirty hair, breakage, colored, permed or natural hair, this will work wonders for your tresses. I use it for an oil rinse, a pre-poo, a sealant, and also as an itchy scalp reliever - especially when my hair is almost desert dry. I will make a separate post later for each of the ways I use EVOO but right now I am just trying to introduce you to it. Olive Oil has been used on the hair for thousands of years. It adds shine, body, softness, and resilience to the strands, making it stronger and preventing breakage. It doesn't matter the hair type, or race of a person, Olive Oil works for everyone.

CURLY GIRL CHALLENGE...COMES TO AN END!

Unfortunately, I was unable to continue the CG challenge due to hair breakage. I noticed a lot of breakage in the middle of my head where I would normally pin the hair back during this challenge. Okay, I can't totally blame it on the CG challenge because this has always been a sensitive area for as far as I can remember. Plenty of times I had to cut this section. It can be one of three reasons: The flat iron is sectioned off there The way my hair is wrapped at night on that section When I pin my hair back, it is always around that section I am determined to figure out the reason. So I flat ironed my hair and trimmed that section. I will now flat iron every two weeks like in the past. Now this time when I flat iron, I will NOT section it off down the middle and across the side, instead, I will section it off in a total of six pieces. I am also going to up my oil rinses and deep conditioning. Last but not least, I will not wrap my hair in a bee-hive, I will wear it...
