Officially a "Curly Girl"

Almost one year ago, I stopped the use of silicone-laden hair products as part of my weekly regimen.  Since then, not only has the condition of my hair improved but the issues I had with my itchy scalp have greatly diminished.  Although my hair was in pretty good shape while using silicones, I noticed a problem with my scalp when I started using Aussie Moist 3-Minute Miracle. 

 I loved the deep treatment for my hair but it did a number on my scalp causing itchiness and build up.  It had gotten to the point where I'd find myself washing my hair every 4 days which quickly became a pain.  It was then that I decided that I decided I'd leave products with silicones alone for good--whether water soluble or not.

Even though I've nixed silicones from my weekly regimen, I have found that their use has been seriously beneficial as a heat protectant and have resigned to use them only when straightening my hair.  Last time I straightened my hair, it lasted nearly 5 weeks frizz free and unaffected by humidity.

You've already seen the pics of my successful hair straightening experience, now here are pics of my hair going back to curly:

In order to keep my hair from tangling as it reverted back to curly, I seperated my hair into four sections and braided each one, securing them with a bobby pins at the end. (I never use rubber bands on my hair)

After dousing my hair with water in the shower, my curls began to revert.

That's water droplets, not dirt by the way...I'm just sayin' LOL

Complete curl reversion success

The curls as back and in full affect.  My first twist out wash day.

More on my new regimen and the products I currently use coming soon.
