Day 7~ I was feeling good and cute today :-} Now, i'm in Texas and the Summer dresses are still out, so I put one of my new ones on. Diva! LOC'd it up, hair clipped two flat pony tails to the top of my head and handled business for my day! Boo Yaaah! Still sick, but i'm makin' it! For bed, I took my clips out and put on my bonnet. Day over.
Day 8, Week 2 KCCM Check In!~
I had just barely woken up and got moving when my neighbor's daughter came over extending an invitation for a shopping day,,, "leave in 20 minutes." Somehow the word "shopping" works better than a cup of coffee, because we 'moved'!
Washed, dressed, spritzed my hair and clipped in my pigtails. I don't think I remembered to do my castor oil application, but with what little I do feel in my hair and all the moisture retained, I didn't find it a problem.
I want to avoid an every other day topical application and get back to the scalp and roots, just to get the cleansing process out of the way and done with.
Now for the Week 2 Check-In, here's how I answered:
1. Where do you live?
Manor, TEXAS!
2. Are other members of your family naturals too? Who? Were they natural before you or vice versa? Do you all support each other?
Yes, my mother. She went natural after I did only because I had gone from relaxing to hotcombing my hair and she had like the results of my hair. I dont know about supporting each other, but do know that we just do what we can for the times.
3. How did you use Castor Oil in your hair last week (week 1)
day 1~ I applied straight to my scalp and twisted hair.
day2~ I applied to sectioned parts (scalp), edges and eyebrows
day3~ no castor oil application, massaged itchy spots *wish i got warning about cleansing 1st*
day4~ pre-poo w/ my oil mix (itch relief!), ACV rinse & DC/Protein treatment; LOC method with castor oil for my oil
day 5~ no application, but surprised of hair moisture
day 6/7~ repeat of LOC method
4. (optional) Share a pic of the bottle of castor oil you are using. *I did supply my pic*
I am still excited and enjoying this challenge. The first week was hard as far as a regimen and maintenance. But as I mentioned, the education I have learned recently and understanding how I have already been partial in the LOC method practice, has made implementing the challenge a little bit easier. This coming week I hope to focus more on my scalp, getting this castor oil cleansing in progress and on track.
Tonight, i'm just going to put my bonnet on and call it a night. Ponder whether to twist my hair up sometime tomorrow while deciding where to put my Christmas tree.

These little thoughts of mine help to understand why I have to do things the way I do them. It may be a bit OCD, but educating, teaching, and learning the how to the why of it makes easier to implement.. Since we gals like to 'share', I like to know what i'm talking about and not steer wrong. ;-p
Thank you for viewing and Take Back Your Mane Control! ~
