In the new year I felt like a change so I chopped off about 5 inches of my hair. This made life much easier when it came to washing,styling etc. As you may know if you're a mummy time is precious and sometimes spending hours washing and styling is not ideal!
Two months after the cut I decided to straighten my hair and to my surprise it grew back. I suspect taking my prenatals vitamins had a lot to do with the growth. I am still taking my prenatals as I am still breastfeeding. Okay so into the hair :)
To start off I did a full wash, meaning shampoo, deep conditioning,detangling the full works....
- Shampoo - ORS olive oil creamy aloe shampoo
- Conditioner- tresemme moisture rich conditioner to detangle
- Deep conditioner- ORS olive oil replenishing conditioner mixed with olive oil (you can add your favourite oil)
- Leavein- cantu shea butter leavein with argan oil mixed with castor oil
- Heat protection- Dr miracle acai thermal protection as well as tresemme heat defence spray

To achieve these waves I applied some olive oil all over and did 6 bantu knots; 3 on either side then secure with a hairpin and left overnight.
The following day I unraveled and finger comb to my liking. I then added ecostyler gel to my edges to smoothen them day and pinned the sides back.
To maintain I simply redid the bantu knots at night and repeat the process.
Thats it! Hope you enjoyed!!
