I Co-Washed!

Breakage and shedding after air-dry mishap

On Tuesday, I shared about my air-dry bantu knot malfunction. Well last night I sprayed my hair with aloe vera juice, gently detangled and twisted my hair to go to bed. I experienced more breakage than I’m comfortable with along with normal shedding.

On Wednesday morning, I untwisted my hair but the style was not becoming. So I wore a low bun to the office. To rectify the issue, I decided to co-wash when I got home. I lightly detangled, braided my hair and co-washed in the shower. I used L’oreal Nature’s Therapy Mega Moisture conditioner to co-wash (product review coming soon).

After I rinsed, I followed my normal post wash routine and lightly blow dried my hair using the tension blow-dry method. Since I’m so far into my stretch I decided not to do the advanced tension blow dry method. Then I did 3 large bantu knots. It’s a little after midnight and I just finished doing my hair. I will post pictures of how it turned out in the morning.
