My Hair Diaries - January 2012

Hopefully, you have read the "About Me" page I had put up a few days back and are aware of all my complaints with my hair. I was thinking that I shall maintain an online monthly journal entry in which I shall catalog my entire month's hair care routine - all products I use, all my DIY's related to hair and everything I do to my hair.

My Goal - " To keep my hair soft and making it more shiny and trying to keep it conditioned and hydrated as much as possible."

What did I do in January?

• My hair had become pretty much rough and sun-exposed and had not be subjected to a trim since almost 4 months, I had to get a hair cut. So, I went ahead and got that done. I didn't really lose a lot of length but the cut makes my crown look more full.
• I incorporated Rosemary Essential Oil in my hair care routine. If you are not already aware, Rosemary Essential Oil is very helpful in promoting hair growth. I add the Essential Oil to my hair oil. 3 drops per treatment. I do try to do the Hot Oil Treatment but never quite succeed so I just heat up my oil a bit and apply it to my scalp and cover my hair with a shower cap to preserve a little heat.
• Shampoo - Dove Nourishing Oil Care Shampoo which keeps my hair soft and doesn't dry my hair. 
• Conditioner - Wella Kolestint after-color Shine Treatment
• Leave-in Treatment - Biotique Bio Almond & Cashew Fresh Replenishing Serum + Dove Nourishing Oil Care Vita Oil Serum
• Hair Oil - Groundnut Oil + Apricot Oil (homemade blend) 
• Combs - The Body Shop Detangling Comb, Lass Cosmetics Neem Wood Comb, The Body Shop Wooden Quill Brush
• DIY - Homemade Green Tea Hair Spray
• I always sleep on satin pillows. It allows the hair to glide easily and doesn't suck out the moisture out of the hair.  
• I simply ignored the deep conditioning :(

Hope this helps :)
