Hair revolution

Well as you already know I did go out without straightening my hair....

My hair is really dry, frizzy and as "curly girl" would say swayvy.

I've been using heat on my hair for years and lately I also dyed my hair black, which I regret (too cold, too blue)... Sooo my hair is really demaged

I am a lazy person, I didn't really take care of my hair, I wasn't using conditioners and heatprotection.... so my hair is reallly damaged!!!!!

I hate my natural hair, but I reallized that I just didn't know how to style it and take care of it so that I don't need to straighten it.

Since I was ill last couple days and had planty of time lying on my couch I've gone hair research crazy!!!!!

Things I came across are:

The Curly Girl Method

wich basically says that shampoo is bad bad bad for dry thursty curly hair!!!! It contains sulfates whish dry out your hair!!

they suggest to wash your hair with conditioner!!! I was curious, but I know last summer I accidetaly used Conditioner instead of my shampoo, and my hair turned out really really greasy... I hated it!!!!!!!

The next thing is the DevaCurl Line

it is the line that was devoloped by the curly hair salon in Soho New York and Lorraine Massey, the author of Curly Girl

This line doesnt have a shampoo the have the no poo thing...

My first though was I need need need it.... especially after watching the youtube videos on the line and seeing the results!!

BUT this line is nowhere to get in Germany. I looked it up on ebay, I was gonna order the trevelsize kit to try it out. The kit costst 19.99$ the shipping costs about 30$. Now that is crazy.... so I had to think of something else.... because I am not ready to pay for shipping more than the actual product costs!!!!

Sooo I started a research on Sulfatefree Shampoos that are available in Germany. I've found out that brands like Aveda, SexyHair, Phyto and Tigi run lines with sulfatefree shampoos. So now I just have to deside which one to get.

Besides the shampoo I also did a research on which conditioners to get, I am thinking about the Joico Deep Penetraiting one, I've heared lots of good things about it!!!

The next thing that I need need need is Redken's Ringlet, from all the things that I heared about it, it sounds like exactly what I need, to make my locks difined and less frizzy.

To prevent my ends from splitting and breaking I want Redken AntiSnap.

So what I'm still researching is a good leave in conditioner to use before the Ringlet.



Soooo....

The routine that I want to try is:

- Washing hair with sulfatefree shampoo

- Conditioning my hair

- Put Leave in Condi into wet hair

- Toweldry it with tshirt (to prevent frizz)

- Put Ringlet into the hair and scrunch

- Then just let airdry or dry with difuser (wich I also need to buy)





don't know when I'm going to start the routine though because I'm on shopping ban for the rest of the month... aaand I want to go for a hairtrim first sooo need to make an apointment and need to buy everything on the internet because its really hard to fined these brands in shops here in Germany.. soo yeah

really long post

I'm going to report on how it works out probably the end of april
