C O N D I T I O N I N G: There’s TONS of information on the web about the benefit of conditioning and deep conditioning your hair. BUT, there are still a TON of women who don’t believe the hype! 🧐 IMO, it doesn’t matter whether I use a store bought or a DIY, conditioning my hair is an important step in the overall maintenance of my hair. IMO, the hair-industry markets conditioning products to us with so many different names, that it gets a little dicey to understand it all! 😉 Masques, Deep Conditioners, Rinse-Out Conditioners, Intense Treatments, 3-Minute Miracles, DIY, yada yada yada •••> are just a few of the endless adjectives used to describe “what it is”! IMO, the conditioning-step is something that will correct the pH balance of your hair & scalp imparted by the cleansing process and DEPENDING on which one you choose (based on your hair’s needs), it should hydrate, strengthen, moisturize, soften, nourish and repair your hair, thereby promoting shine & luster back to your hair. (Whew 🤓 that’s a word!) TODAY, I deep conditioned my hair with a DIY (homemade) conditioner that I made with fresh avocados and Ayurvedic herbs (hence the 🥑 green color). TIP: #anomtip If you don’t condition your hair, and your dry is dry, brittle and not thriving, then I suggest you start conditioning your hair regularly and evaluate if that improves the situation. TIP: #anomtip If you already condition your hair regularly, but your hair is STILL dry, brittle and not thriving, then I suggest you try different conditioning process and THEN evaluate your wash routine! 😉 Only clean hair will receive 100% of the benefit of a deep conditioning process. #theanomchronicles is the story of my #naturalhair and how #igrewthis 🌸🍃🙌🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfJKnRhv_E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=udlh8h3g4u6f

W A S H I N G: 🛀🏽 Anom is all washed, squeaky clean & rinsed y’all! Every women may have her own different routine for WHEN & HOW to wash her hair. 😜 BUT we can all agree that clean hair and a clean scalp is the bedrock for healthy hair! AND if you have kinky curly natural afro-textured hair like me, then developing a wash routine is CRITICAL to the process of maintaining healthy thriving hair! TIP: #anomtip If you don’t have a hair wash routine that’s working for you, then make a new 😉 and evaluate your progress as you go! Happy hair journey y’all! 😘 #theanomchronicles is the story of my #naturalhair and how #igrewthis 🌸🍃🙌🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfA4XTh2Bc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1symk6x82asag

O I L I N G: 😜 #themorningafter using a DIY #Ayurvedic oil on my hair & scalp and doing that really good scalp message!! 💆🏽‍♀️ So why is overnight oiling beneficial? Well IMO, 💧Oiling can help mitigate hygral fatigue (which is excessive moisture or water entering & exiting the hair cuticle during the wash process which can weaken strands and lead to breakage).💧Oiling can help fight fungal attacks on your scalp. 💧Oiling can help strengthen your hair, revitalize your hair, protect you hair, soften your hair and treat dry brittle hair. TIP: #anomtip 😉 washing the oil treatment out thoroughly the next day is also important, which is what I’m about to do right now! Happy hair journey y’all! #theanomchronicles is the story of my #naturalhair and how #igrewthis 🍃🌸🙌🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpe5MR2hxW8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=170w88k390l6n

Hi, 👋🏽 real quick I wanted to show you what I do the night before I wash my hair! My hair is 7-days old hella dirty and hella frizzy!! On Friday night, I do a DIY #Ayurvedic Oil scalp massage using the oil mix that I make (see 👀 my previous post for the recipe) and I wash it out the next day followed by deep conditioning! 🤗 #theanomchronicles is the story of my #naturalhair and how #igrewthis 🍃🌸🙌🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpdb-bdF-aP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7zvbg9i9dauy
