My Hair!
My HAIR!🐇
I often get asked what I do to keep my hair this way (not sure if it's good or otherwise)...
I'm not comfortable in a salon because the chemicals in there just horrify me. So this mop is all home curated and I trim the ends once or twice a year to remove the frail ends.
This enables me to tie it up in an assortment of ways, or let it fly in the wind, wild, just like me.
I never use colours or salon products. If you knew what was in hair colour chemicals and what it does in the roots of your hair (then into your blood stream), you may think twice about having it coloured too.
Here is my routine:
💦 My regular wash cycle, once a week in winter and twice a week in summer (and after I've been using the whipper snipper) -
I never use shampoo, another toxic concoction. I use home made soap from Tarja Henttonen and do a double soap up and rinse in the shower, then gently towel dry the hair in outward movements (never scrunch or rough up the hair).
My finish is a moisturizing conditioner called Copaiba Vanilla. About a small teaspoon full in the palm of my hand, massaged into the hair ends then brushed in.
On days when it feels a tad dry, I put a small portion in my hands, rub them together and rub this into my hair, brushing it into the ends. It's a great moisturizer any time, not one to rinse out, as it's not a foaming conditioner (I can't imagine who invented that idea, but it had to be a commercial one because it makes no sense giving your scalp a third dose of sodium-laureth-sulphate - which contains trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane, a suspected carcinogen!)
🥥And my secret for keeping the hair healthy - mix a generous teaspoon of raw coconut oil and two drops of rosemary oil* in the palm of my hand, then using my fingertips, I massage the oil into my scalp. Not the hair. It ends up in the hair anyway but the focus is the scalp massage.
Leave it in for an hour or so, preferably while outside in the garden, in the sunlight.
Then I wash it out with my wash routine.
How often? While I was recovering from my mental health issues, it was once a week before my hair wash routine. Over time the hair gained in strength (yes I kept is short because it was thin and brittle). These days, only when I feel like it needs a boost, or I've been out in the wind and it's a bit dry.
* I have only used Young Living oils so the results with any other brands may vary.
What's your natural hair routine - the one where you don't use chemicals❓ Surely I'm not the only crazy old lady who does this...
