Mixing Monday: Single Strand Knots

My #naturalhair needs more TLC.  I have a serious case of single strand knots.  I thought about cutting off an inch or two and starting over.  I then thought about getting some extensions.  I vowed I would never do that after I officially went natural.  Now, I think I just need to give my hair the EXTRA TLC it needs to tackle these single strand knots.  I found a great resource in www.maneandchic.com (If you have never been there click NOW I'll wait) on single strand knots.  Although I can't do everything at once in my weekly routine, the two things I can commit to doing is keeping my hands out of my hair and deep conditioning weekly.  I realize that playing in my hair is probably the main cause of my single strand knots as I attempt to detangle knots while running my hands through my hair.  It's a BIG NO NO!  I also haven't been washing my hair weekly but bi-weekly and haven't deep conditioned overnight.  I will add this to my routine and try my best to rid myself of hand in hair syndrome lol.  Below is a recipe of a quick pre-poo treatment.

EMF's Pre-Poo Treatment

2 tbs caster oil

2 tbs olive oil

2 tbs almond oil

2 tbs vegetable glycerin

I typically leave this on for about 10-20 minutes before I rinse and deep condition.

Keep the Faith!

Until next time,
