The 3C curly bob hair look I'm going for - a mish mash of pictures!

I know what you're thinking!  All these pics are different.  The straight bobs is the length I am going for and all the curly hair is the texture my hair is so it's my inspiration!

I gave in to the combs and the cones :(

Recently I have had enough of my hair so I bought a wig, some rollers, and a diffuser.  Ok, the wig look okish but defo couldn't wear to work.  I  bought paul mitchell conditioner which has cones in it and once I used that it's like I cracked.  On a plus side, I have semi straightened my hair using bantu knots.  I also used a comb and more cones, my hair feels so much softer with the cones!  Do think I may have pulled out quite a lot of hair but on the plus side, I won't be washing my hair for about two weeks because I won't have to keep washing it to revive the curls.  The main thing tho is I haven't used heat or shampoo with alcohol.  I last for over two months so deserve some credit!

The Twist Out

I have been chopping and hacking my hair!  The ends of my hair was so damaged from heat and looked awful!.  I have chopped it to shoulder length own and it looks much better.  I have to keep telling myself that healthy hair is better than length!

Anyways, so I tried a twist out on Friday and it looked very messy but the twists that were done correctly looked loved.  I think it didn't come out right due to too much product, dead ends, not all twists were the same size, not many twists.

Today, I washed my hair again.
I detangled my hair dry with tresemme naturals, co washed and detangled again, rinsed out conditioner, saturated hair with conditioner, towel dried hair until it was damp, added kinky curly knot today, ecostyler( a small amount) and jojoba oil.  I have started to treat the middle of my hair differently as I recognised the curls are tighter and drier so I seperate that section from the rest and put it in a saturated with conditioner bun.  I tend did two strand twists, spritizing water when I needed to and adding coconut oil to really dry parts.  The ends of my hair I used shea butter to hold the ends in place, not sure if it will work but tried. I had about 10 twists on each sided and then placed all my hair in a satin bonnet.  I will await the results.

CG method

Since the last post I have washed my hair three times!  Not because I need to but but because I wanted to try out the curly girl method.  I have been following loads of youtubers but my favourite at the moment is mahogany curls.  I did my own cg method today and did the following:-

Co washed my hair with Tresemme Naturals and jojoba oil, the latter to help with moisturing.  I do not use alot of the oil.  I then washed everything out and put the conditioner and oil on again and detangled my hair.  I saturated my hair in conditioner.  I then did the acordion method all over my hair and then left it, no touching, shaking, actually I did naughtily part my hair with a comb for a middle part.  After an hour I lightly scrunched my hair with kitchen towel where I saw white bits.  I have also decided that my goal is for my hair to look healthy and free, maybe slightly frizzy  like the pics below.

My hair nightmare

Ok, so I have long hair but chose to put a weave in because it will be easier to get up and go, give my hair a break from straightening, easier during bikram ( yes, the bikram I have not returned to).  I kept it in for just over three months and stupidly did not comb my hair through before washing it, yes I know, I am a total idiot.  As a result, my hair matted big time!  I ended up having to rip half my hair out and as a result a waste of giving my hair a break and the growth, well all it all got ripped out. So...my plan is, firstly to stop moping around about it!

Eat healthy and take vitamins - Currently taking biotin, sea kelp, vitamin A and cod liver oil.  Thinking of getting a pre natal, sea kelp, msm and silica gel.  Need to eat more greens, I liquidise fruits each day but need to eat more veg.
Use better hair products - no sulfate, parabens, alcohol or silicones.
Moisturise hair daily
Massage scalp daily
