I am forever experimenting with products and changing my hair care routine! Its like my fingers just get the itch to dip into new products. Im fedup of this! Ive had so many setbacks because of my own experiments....In the beginning of February I decided to try out grapefruit juice all over my hair... The results were disastrous and I had to cut off about 1.5 inches of hair....
And I keep sneaking to the beauty store and trying moisturisers/creams/greases that may contain mineral oil or petroleum. I need to remind myself often that once a product has mineral oil or petroleum it will not work on my hair and will result in dryness/knots/breakge. Ugh.
One thing I know for sure is I need to avoid mineral oil & petroleum (although my deep conditioners do contain these for now). I also need to avoid silicones where possible.
So this is really to remind myself to stick to what is working right now.
