Hair cut and Hello Hydration

Let me say first of that this is not going to be a blog about strictly hair care and product reviews. However, like most curly girls I do take pride in my hair and I am always looking for new ways to keep it healthy and happy and looking good.

This week I purchased the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner. I have mixed it together with some Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) (btw EVOO is a miracle worker). I first used it on my two stand twist (which I bantu knot every night), I loved the results. It smoothed my very split ends and kept my hair very moisturized. After keeping my hair in twists for four days I rocked a twist out on the fiftth day. I have to first of all say that I have a really thick head of hair and that no matter what, it will poof. However, with the Hello Hydration and Olive oil my curls we controled and bouncy and most importantly soft and hydrated and they did not poof too much.

This morning I decided to wash my hair with Garnier Fructis Moisture Works and conditioned with Hello Hydration, which I used as a combing conditioner as reccomended as safe to leave in ones hair by tightlycurly . Well, after attemptimg the tightlycurly method on half of my head I lost patients and just slicked my hair back.

I decided to get a cut inspired by Nathalie Emanuel

I showed the hair dresser the picture and he began his work. I also stipulated that i wanted absolutely no damaged ends left behind (they were split about 4 ways...until about 4 months ago I treated my hair horribly). I was in a bit of shock when he cut the first layer and he calmed me down saying that that would be the shortest. He did not style my hair because I am pretty sceptical about most peoples ability to style hair when the request is not dried, fried and lied to the side. I pretty much walked out with a picked fro which I pulled in one. On the way out I felt my hair and it was still soft from the routine I used this morning.I am going to do some pretty chunky twists tonight and see the results in the morn.


This is just a twist out on damp hair with the hello hydration and EVOO. However, my ends are coiling up again, and I am so pleased about that.
