Hey Thriftanistas!

It’s been two years since I cut my hair since I’ve done a hair update.  If you recall, my hair and body was in such a bad state.  My edges were non-existent, my hair was lifeless (permed), and I gained twenty pounds.  It’s amazing how time changes things!  In those two years, I cut my hair completely off and started researching the proper way to care for my natural hair!   I learned so much and developed my own hair care regiment.   If you would like to know more about my 3-2-1 method keep reading…..

THREE

• Every 3 months, I scheduled an appointment to get my hair trimmed and pressed with a licensed beautician.
• Every 3 days, I apply an oil to my scalp (inner perimeter).  I love NOW Grape Seed oil, Wild Growth hair oil, Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil or Garden of Life Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.
• Every 3 days I do some form of cardio exercise.  Usually, I opt for Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

TWO

• Every two weeks I deep conditioned my hair using Design Essentials Almond Butter Express Instant Moisturizing Conditioner.
• Every two days I massaged Vitamin E oil around my edges (outer perimeter).
• Every two days, I incorporate strength training in my exercise regiment

ONE

• Once a day I take a Futurebiotics  Hair, Skin & Nails multivitamin.
• One month is the maximum amount of time I will keep a protective style.  That includes braids, wigs, and sew-ins.
• Once a day, I consume 8 bottles of water.

Simple, right?  If you are struggling with your hair, just remember you have to start somewhere.  Healthy hair is possible with time, patience and care!
