Divine Intervention: My first Natural Hair Care Visit!!

Apparently my previous post made it appear that I was on uppers because everyone was interested in the outcome of my visit! So for your reading pleasures here you go!

I walked into my 1:30 appointment around 1:20 where the Manager informed me I could go straight back, shockingly. I literally have never had that happen, in all my years of having my hair done professionally. I was greeted my the same enthusiastic young lady who gave me a consultation the day before. She informed me that she was going to do a deep condition,a hot oil treatment, trim, to begin the restoration process.

After the preface she got to work, obviously beginning with the deep conditioning. She engaged in light conversation and informed about every single product she would be using and its purpose. In between conditioning she also "massaged" the knots out of my hair so the combing process wouldn't be too abrasive. Afterwards she placed me under the dryer with a towel on my head. She explained that because my hair is mostly curly, it loses moisture easily, and the towel would retain the nutrients of the oik treatment she based in my scalp. Noticing it would be difficult to cut my hair in its natural state, she decided it would have to be lightly blown, to give its past due trim. Before she began to apply the light heat, she combed my hair from the ends, then to the scalp. Astonishingly only 2 strokes were needed to sufficiently smoothly move my hands through my hair. (SUITE!!)

To her surprise, my hair was significantly longer on one side, than the other. Thankfully she gave me an option to slowly trim it into a consistent length or let it all go now, I opted for the latter. Like I said to her, its a psychological attachment. Anywho, after she straightened, she proceeded to knot it, neatly, and sat me under the dryer, and I took the responsibility of taking the knots out. It was a little more difficult than I thought, and I didn't get the knots loose when I first took them out, but I was happy with the results.

LAND HO!!!

It's only appropriate we disappear for the Winter and reemerge for the Spring Season!! So I'm home in the C.O for Spring Break and my Mom hooked me up with a Natural hair care specialist for a consultation. I walked into Salon One awaiting the typical "oh I can't do nothin with that ... " response and I was taken aback. Not only did the young lady tell me my hair was beautiful, but she also informed me that she look forward in aiding me in my journey to take my hair wherever I want it to go. I set up an appointment for tommorow, and I left with a Koolaid grin.

Now you're probably wondering why I'm so delighted, especially when I have no clue about what this chick is about to do to my hair. Nonetheless, I am excited that someone didn't dismiss my complicated ends as they usually do. I know, that's minimal, probably insignificant ... but it meant a lot to me. So I'll make sure to keep you all updated. YUP!!

This is how I looked!!

Yesssssssssss... Yesssss.... YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Sooo I almost had an Herbal Essence moment last week compliments of CANTU.
As I opened my $3.42 Cantu Shampoo and proceeded to squeeze it in my hand, I was expecting it to be a disappointment like most promising Black hair care products. Thank God my pessimism did not manifest itself because I promise you that I was immediately hypnotized by the amount of lather conjured up by a half dollar worth of Shampoo! I spent a good 10 minutes amazed at the fact that my hair was felt soft while I, YES ME, tended to its own cleansing.
The icing on the cake was the conditioner, it left my hair manageable and with a subtle shine, something I can rarely attest to. Not only did I love the feeling, I wanted to give the world permission to smell my new found glory after basking in the lovely scent that was also a consequence of its use. Overall, if you cannot tell, I have officially endorsed Cantu Shampoo and Conditioner. It was the best $6.64 I have ever spent in Wallys World!

With this stated I will introduce the official No Lye Review Scale:
4 wide toof combs = I bought momma some too
3 Wide toof combs = Cop it when its on sale
2 Wide Combs = Only if its free
1 wide toof combs = I returned it and only to get store credit.

I officially give Cantu Shampoo and Rinse Out Conditioner 4 Pig Tails: I'd buy my momma some... If I had the money to!

Purchase Location: Super Walmart
Price: $3.42 each
