Hello Ladies

I can’t believe we are almost at the end of October already.  I am back from my holiday which I enjoyed more than I intended to.  Majority of the work I planned to do just didn’t happen.   I am behind on everything!!!! But I am back to reality and have been eager to update the blog in a more helpful way.  And that brings me to my next point…..videos!!!!

I was always adamant that I would not create videos for Hairducation because I felt it would be too time consuming and I know absolutely nothing about video editing, lighting, etc.  However because I haven’t been consistent lately with blogging I thought I should go the extra mile in making it up to my readers by creating my very first video ever!!!

The fact is some things are better explained by video.  I tried to write a blog post on how I detangle and finger comb my hair but realised quickly that a video would be more appropriate.  As I am typing this up I don’t even know how to upload videos to Hairducation but I am sure I will figure it out.

(It turns out I cant and have to re-record the whole thing. I had to set up a You-tube page which I did.  But the file is too large for me to upload the video to YouTube because the network/signal in my area is soooo poor it just isn’t working.  I even went to an internet café and still no joy). 
I intend to get on re-recording asap.  In the interim please see my hair and product update below.

HAIR UPDATE  – WIG REGIMEN MODE

I put my hair in 24 box braids whilst on holiday and I transitioned to my wig regimen.
I wore my Hair By Type 4 “Runway” wig which is a part of the R collection whilst on my break.    I used to think the wig was a little on the long side but now that my hair is the same length it feels pretty normal.  My own hair is not that thick though ( I wish).

Again I was really slacked with hair care whilst I was away.  On this trip I cleansed my scalp with wipes a few times but only moisturised twice in over three weeks…..#badhairblogger

My hair seems okay but it is quite dirty and my scalp is a little on the itchy side. I am about to start unravelling the box braids to wash and give my hair a much needed deep condition.  Fingers crossed the neglect hasn’t done too much harm to it.

 

PRODUCT UPDATE

I had a good stash of hair products before my trip but off course I stocked up a little bit.  As you can see I decided that I really like the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration conditioner and have decide to include it as one of my moisturising conditioner options.

You may also notice the huge jar of Motions Moisture Plus Conditioner.  I mentioned in an old blog post that I would be giving this up and replacing it with Tresemme Nourishing Moisture.  Although I still have a lot of “respect” for the Tresemme conditioner, when I was deep on my stretch it didn’t seem to moisturise my hair as well as the Motions did.  So for that reason I decided to re-introduce Motions Moisture Plus into my regimen.  I think I am going to stop fighting the fact that I like a conditioner that contains mineral oil. I guess it’s just meant to be.

Other products I stocked up on were coconut oil, rosemary and peppermint oils, Cantu Shea Butter leave in conditioning cream and S-curl.
I intend to spend the next few days playing catch upon all your emails, responding to questions and settling back to work.
The next blog post will be about food for growth, ie what we should be eating to help us grow healthy hair fibres and shortly after that the detangling video should be up.  See you again soon.
