I started off by moisturizing my hair in sections. I spritzed each section with water (water=moisture), focusing on the ends. I then applied coconut oil (this is an excellent moisturizer and from what I've read, one of the few oils that can actually penetrate the hair shaft), finger-combing as I went. I sealed my ends with EVOO.

| The new sock bun thingy I made today is on the left. (Read my post "Quick Bun" to see tutorial.) It's bigger & has nylon on the outside to protect my hair. I also rubbed some olive oil on it for added moisture. |

| In case you were wondering... I have a LOT of hair! LOL! |
 |
| One of my trusty hair ties made of nylons. Gentle on my hair and very stretchy. I put my hair in a ponytail with this. |

 |
| Find the center of my hair, take another ponytail holder and put it over my hair so it's covering the sock bun thingy. |
 |
| Twist & tuck my hair around the bun, securing it with bobby pins. |
 |
| Spritz the rest of my hair with water, slap on some gel and smooth it down with my hands (I do not use brushes as they can cause damage). |
 |
| Cover with a scarf for 20-30 minutes to smooth it down some more. Makes it look sleek sans the damage caused by a brush. |
 |
| Voilà! (My ear was still red from the scarf, lol.) |
If brushes cause damage, what is a good alternative? I probably need to swap out my brushes.
ReplyDeleteTo clarify, I meant I don't use a bristle brush. I use product and the palms of my hands to smooth it down as much as I can. Then set it with a scarf. Smooths it down incredibly well.
