I finally washed my hair again and EWW!
Without going into the usual rants and whines about me doing not wanting to do my hair (that is implied) I decided to do a rinse using a tutorial I found on Francesca aka chescaleigh’s blog.

Anywho I decided to do a cleanse in addition to the “regular” washing this time around. My color is growing out and my hair was just looking (and smelling) pretty foul. I used baking soda, vinegar and rosemary leaves but I’ve seen recipes call for sea salt, other herbs and some other ingredients.
I filled a bucket and took a before pic:

After letting my hair sit for about 15 minutes this is what the water looks like: murky, grey and pretty funky looking.

Wow!
I washed with some rosemary and mint shampoo and conditioner and began twisting, also using a tutorial I found on Francesca’s blog.
Of course I farted around and it took a while (two Indiana Jones movies, a Star Trek- the one with Simon! – and three Archers).

And now I’m rocking one and two strand loc knots.(Background Effin Guy’s shop. Mention this post and get 29% off. Cause there is a sale! Hiyo!)
