ACV and homemade DC

Here is another hair care tip and process I picked up from my girl Naptural 85.  First pre-pooed/detangled my hair with some of my VO5 conditioner.  After rinsing that, I shampooed with a VOD clarifying shampoo. Upon rinsing the shampoo I poured a 1/3 part ACV/water rinse over my hair.

Next I mixed 2 eggs, some mayo (about 3-4 tbls), and some honey.  I added this mixture to my hair, put a plastic bag on and let it sit for a couple of hours. After rinsing, my hair was shiny, so clean, and fresh feeling.  It felt light and bouncy.  I put some more VO5 conditioner in, let it sit, rinsed, added some leave in, and my glycerin mix.  I hadn't shampooed my hair in about a month, so this treatment was also clarifying.

I didn't know what to do with my hair so I baggied it with the glycerin mix in because I didn't want to wet it again.  The egg mixture served as my DC so the VO5 condish and glycerin was just added moisture.  The next day I decided to put my hair in small cornrows.  I braid pretty tightly, a little too tight, I hope I don't experience breakage because of it.  I took me 3 days to finish my cornrows (I'm a busy woman).  So until I finished I just wore my head wrap.

 Here are some pics of me with the cornrows.

2nd Twist out!

Here is a slide show of my second attepmt twist out results.  I have done twist outs and bantu's many a time on my relaxed hair, but doing the same style on my natural hair is such a different and exciting experience.  Check out my youtube channel to see just how excited I really was.  Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=735qwyxIQm8
