Some of the websites advised to use coconut oil on hair to help restore the balance and the health to hair. I thought about it but just never got around to getting out to buy any product. So in late June when I was contacted by Skinny & Co. to try some of their coconut products I jumped at the chance. I was super excited...because at that point my hair was still falling out a LOT!
I waited anxiously for the product. Almost a full month passed. Miraculously, in that month my hair started to restore itself. It was a gradual thing that I didn't notice at first becuase I was still obsessed with the fact that my pony tails (when I went running or hiking) were feeling thinner. But eventually I actually brought it up with Jason. We discussed it and we both agreed that the hair that had plagued us (he had for months laughed about having enough hair clinging to his clothes and belongings that he had enough to make a wig) had definitely eased up. Ironically enough we had that discussion on a Friday night....and when I got home? Voila...there was my next miracle cure for my hair woes.
I was still excited. There was still an obvious imbalance of Ph or something going on with my hair. Maybe this would solve the problem and keep the hair in place (because having a relapse of mad hair loss is something I do NOT want to have happen!).
I opened the box and checked out my product. I had gotten the shampoo bar.
Yes, a shampoo bar! As per the instructions....lather it up in your hands and use the lather to wash your hair.
I looked forward to my next shower so that I could use the shampoo.
It was kind of weird to lather up from a bar of soap to wash my hair...but surprisingly it produced a good amount of lather and I was able to get my head all sudsy. For my longer hair I did have to lather twice....once for the top of my head and scalp and the other time for the rest of my hair. It washed just like normal....
Immediately I could tell that my hair had a weird 'feel'. I thought that maybe it was just because this shampoo had cleaned out impurities or something. I thought about using some conditioner.....but decided that using a shampoo that was cleaning impurities out of my hair would be counter productive if I just slathered my head with conditioner immediately afterward.
Oh my word.....bad decision. Brushing my hair the rest of the day was just murder. My hair had a gummy sticky feeling to it. It just felt nappy.
Undetered, I grabbed the shampoo bar the next time I was in the shower. It still had a weird feel after I was done shampooing my hair (not was bad as the first shampoo though)....but this time I conditioned. And my hair felt fine afterward. Each day of using the shampoo my hair has felt much less 'off'.....so maybe my hair was just really messed up and is taking a while to straighten out.
My only complaint? By the evening, my hair feels more greasy and heavy than normal....but maybe that is just the healthy balance of my hair righting itself!!!!
